The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1091

Lysander wielded a formidable force, his power and influence far surpassing her capacity to challenge. Every attempt to stand against him left her battered and bruised. Her only recourse was to humble herself and plead for her mother's safety.

With all her might, she guarded a secret desperately, as if she had spun a cocoon to protect herself and her mother within its silken threads. However, Lysander effortlessly tore through its fragile shell, leaving her exposed and vulnerable, as if caught in the harsh glare of a spotlight- naked and defenseless.

His gaze bore into her- a chilling blend of beauty and severity, as if he could peer into the very depths of her soul through the windows of her clear, frightened eyes. Thalassa's heart fluttered with panic, her breath trembling as despair took hold. Then, breaking the silence, Lysander's voice, deep and resonant, entered the scene.

"I could keep your secret," he said, "but what's in it for me?"

Thalassa blinked, her gaze locking onto his - a collision with his deep, probing eyes that seemed to threaten to swallow her whole.

Her heart skipped a beat at his insatiable look, well aware of the predatory hunger it disguised. With her pulse erratic, she swallowed hard, feeling the air around her grow colder as she spoke, "I could bear you a child. Isn't that benefit enough?"

"I'm talking about right now," he growled, his Adam's apple bobbing with the gravel in his voice.

Understanding his meaning, Thalassa knew it was better to steer the situation than to let him take the reins in a frenzy. Straightening up, she pressed a brief, deliberate kiss on his lips and pushed away, "There's your benefit."

Before she could retreat, Lysander's firm grip encased the back of her head, tilting her face up for another forceful kiss. His lips claimed hers with fervor.

"Mmm..." Her breath was stolen as his lips locked onto hers, sending electric shivers through her senses. His breath, hot and commanding, filled her lungs, owning her every inhalation.

The kiss was intense and wild, as if he wished to meld her into his very being.
