Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 215

The collar of his shirt was loosely open, revealing a section of his smooth, impossibly fair collarbone.

Just above it was his prominent Adam's apple.

Such fairness.

So exquisitely sensual.

It was perfect for…

Leaving a mark upon.

Serena's mouth suddenly felt dry, the close-up view a powerful assault on her senses.

Her cool, refined face was tinged with a faint blush.

She averted her gaze.

She didn't see the man's long, dark lashes lower slightly, or the profound, captivating meaning that bloomed in his almond-shaped eyes, which reflected her image completely.
