The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 890

Thalassa attempted to tug her leg free, but it was firmly captured between Lysander's muscular thighs. The strength in his well-toned legs immobilized her in an instant.

Thalassa had thought the children were still asleep in bed, but now she understood. Lysander must have taken them back to their rooms.

She had been asleep and completely missed it.

The heat radiating from behind her, coupled with the panic of being trapped between Lysander's legs, set off warning bells in Thalassa's mind.

Her breath quickened. "Lysander, it's late."

"Mmm, I know," Lysander's deep voice rumbled in her ear. His nose gently grazed her neck, his warm breath fanning her delicate skin.

This teasing gesture sent a jolt through Thalassa as if she'd been electrocuted. She shivered involuntarily and arched her back like a bow.

"When you're tense, it's as if you're inviting me," Lysander murmured, his arms circling her as his warm breath continued to flutter against her neck.

His husky voice was thick with danger.

Thalassa felt like a deer caught in a predator's claws. The predator's tongue was constantly licking her delicate skin, ready to pounce.

This sense of panic and danger was lethal.

Thalassa slowed her breathing and tensed up her whole body, "I don't want to cuddle. I want to sleep. It's too hot when you cuddle me."

Though her words rejected him, her voice was soft and the undertone of her words held a hint of intimacy.

To Lysander, it was not a rejection. Instead, her weak voice was more like a temptation.

The low, soft moans of a woman, the allure of playing hard to get, were impossible to resist.

Lysander swallowed, his blood pumping faster.

"Turn it down just a few degrees. Then it won't be too hot."

Thalassa could hear the sound of his swallowing, a signal she was all too familiar with. Her body tingled, her heart skipping a beat in surprise.

At that moment, Lysander freed a hand. He reached over and grabbed the remote on the bedside table and turned down the temperature.
