The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1054

Thalassa's cry of pain was barely a whisper, her body curling instinctively as her hands, which had been braced against his broad chest, went limp. A tingling sensation relentlessly raced up her spine like an electric current.

Lysander's dominant breaths were hot on her face and stole her breath away. Her lungs screamed for air, and her mind was fogging over.

Lysander devoured her like a beast. His kisses were fierce and wild, yet his eyes betrayed not a hint of warmth.

Feeling her resistance, his anger flared even more. His hand cradled the back of her head and locked her in place as his tongue invaded, claiming every part of her and siphoning her breath, her sweetness...

It wasn't until Thalassa's face turned a desperate shade of red, her breaths short and suffocating, that Lysander finally released her.

Thalassa's lips were swollen and numb with a fiery pain. She gasped for air, her eyes brimming with tears. Her lashes were heavy with the weight of her helplessness and panic, like prey in the jaws of a predator.

Before she could catch her breath, Lysander's strong hands gripped her shoulders and flipped her over. She was no longer lying on her back but face down.

This position brought back the memories of humiliation that she'd endured being with him.

Her heart pounded with fear and resistance.

"No, please don't do this to me..."

"Ah..."

Her protests and pleas drowned beneath the wave of Lysander’s relentless assertion.

"Dare to flee anymore?" His voice was an icy low growl. He gripped her chin and forced her to meet his gaze.

Thalassa stared into his eyes, where a storm of restrained rage was brewing. Her heart trembled and her skin prickled with cold sweat.

She was caught between enduring his wrath and fearing his ruthless dominance. She spoke through chattering teeth, "Don’t you want to know why I fled?"

If punishment was inevitable, there was no point in holding back. Not everyone wanted to stay by his side and be his woman.
