The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1209

Thalassa couldn't take it anymore—the embarrassment was too much. She almost turned on her heel to leave.

But then she thought of his injury, of how he was still recovering, and she suppressed the urge.

Her hands trembled as she slowly unzipped his jeans, her forehead beading with sweat, her breath tight in her chest.

As soon as she pulled the zipper down, Lysander wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close with a firm tug.

He held the back of her head, his lips claiming hers in a fierce and fiery kiss that stole her breath and spun her world.

In the steamy heat of the bathroom, their passion rose quickly, filling the space with an intoxicating mist.

At work, Thalassa received great news from Ethan; the new smartphone ad campaign shot by Susan had been a hit, skyrocketing sales.

This was indeed fantastic news.

But Thalassa was preoccupied with something else.

"So, does this mean the Crawley Group' stock is going through the roof? With Bruce's family having invested two hundred thousand dollars, they must be rolling in it, huh?" she asked.

Ethan smiled, shaking his head with a hint of mystery.

Seeing him shake his head without a word, Thalassa's curiosity piqued. "Mr. Ethan, what do you mean by that? Did Bruce strike it rich or not?"

Leaning in just a bit closer, Ethan shared with a secretive tone, "They lost everything."

"What?" Thalassa gasped, not fully understanding the intricacies.

"But didn't the new smartphone sell like hotcakes? How could the stock fall?" she pressed.
