The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 377

He climbed into bed, a familiar scent of masculinity filling the air.

Thalassa froze in fear, worried he would repeat what he had done to her two nights earlier.

Just as her anxiety peaked, Lysander's long arm reached around her, pulling her close.

Her back rested against his hot and muscular chest.

Through the fabric of their clothes, Thalassa felt her heart skip a beat, her body trembling from the heat.

Instinctively, she tried to move away, but Lysander kept her close, his baritone voice echoing in her ear, "Stay still, or you'll regret it."

Thalassa froze in place, not daring to move.

Her body was enveloped by his, her back pressed against his powerful chest. She could feel the burning temperature of his body. Her ears filled with his deep breathing and masculine aroma.

Thalassa's heartbeat quickened, her breaths becoming more labored.

Even though she was terrified of him, her body couldn't resist his masculine allure.

Her heart pounding, she tensed up, but Lysander didn't do anything.

He just held her.

At first, Thalassa was on edge, but she couldn't fight off the exhaustion. She hadn’t slept at all the night before and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Lysander, hearing her steady breathing, knew she was asleep. He nestled her closer, inhaling her sweet scent.

Soon, he too fell asleep.

The next day, Thalassa woke up startled.

Sitting up, she looked around and saw that Lysander was already gone.

She quickly got up and went downstairs. Seeing the sun shining outside, she realized it was already noon.

She asked Fitch, "Did Lysander say I could leave?"

Fitch shook his head, "Mr. Sinclair didn't say anything."

"How was his mood this morning?" If he seemed happy, she could try to appease him and ask to leave.
