The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 425

"Do you want me to lift you up?" Lysander's dark eyes flicked towards her.

Thalassa was taken aback and she quickly get into the car. She wouldn't dare let Lysander lift her into the car unless she had a death wish.

As soon as she leaned in, Lysander wrapped his arm around her waist. He pulled her effortlessly onto his lap.

Thalassa gasped as she felt his powerful and toned legs beneath her, the heat radiating through his jeans.

The strong masculine scent overwhelmed her, and her heart pounded in her chest.

"Mr. Sinclair, please don't." Thalassa said, shyly trying to avoid his gaze.

The driver, David, was sitting in the front. She felt embarrassed when he saw Lysander's intimate gesture.

Suddenly, a partition rose between the back and front seats, creating a more enclosed and intimate space. The partition effectively blocked out sound from the front.

Lysander grasped her chin, forcing her to look at him. His eyes were cold and piercing.

He studied her flushed face, the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead. Her half-dry hair cascaded over her shoulders, her lips enticingly red.

She looked like she had just come out of a shower.

Lysander clenched his jaw, his handsome face icy, "Where did you shower, hm?"

"At home." Thalassa replied.

"I suggest you tell the truth!" Lysander's voice was a low growl.

Thalassa paused, looking into his icy cold face. Her heart pounded as she realized what he was implying.

She started to panic, "I showered at my girlfriend's place. I was planning to stay there tonight."

Lysander narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Thalassa quickly explained, "It's true. My friend's son won the gourmet competition today and invited me over to celebrate. We were having a great time, and it got late so I decided to stay over. If you don't believe me, I can call her to confirm."
