The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 688

Thalassa's breath hitched as she locked eyes with Lysander's jet-black orbs. Her heart was pounding like a drum, both uncontrollable and raging.

Swallowing a gulp of cool water, she braced herself for the whirlwind she knew he was capable of becoming.

As Lysander stared back at her, her lips were made even more crimson from his kisses; the rapid rise and fall of her chest signaled her nervousness.

Lysander’s eyes went gloomy. A soft glow seemed to pass through his deep gaze.

Thalassa caught the subtle change in his eyes and misinterpreted it as a sign of affection. Her lashes fluttered down, ready to close her eyes.

Suddenly, the pressure on her body vanished, along with the nearness of his masculine presence.

Lifting her gaze, she found Lysander straightening up and releasing her jaw. His tone was impassive, "You're to rest at home for at least a month. No work."

With that, he shut the passenger door and settled himself in the driver's seat.

Thalassa blinked in surprise and curiosity. A month's rest at home? Was that her punishment?

Was this a punishment or a reward?

The car started and gradually picked up speed, winding down the mountain road and getting onto the smooth asphalt highway.

As Lysander focused on driving, Thalassa began to feel weak after the moment of extreme tension.

Tired and weary, her eyelids grew heavy and she fell asleep.

The car pulled up in front of Royal Estates. Lysander exited and unbuckled Thalassa's seat belt. He scooped her up in his arms, heading towards the mansion.

Thalassa slept soundly. She felt uncomfortable when lifted so she nuzzled her head into Lysander's chest, found a comfortable position, and continued sleeping.

Her fluffy head, like a kitten's, rubbed against Lysander's chest, causing his heartbeat to falter momentarily. Glancing down at her, he found her peacefully asleep.
