The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 766

A hint of danger was lurking under his mellow voice.

Thalassa could feel a shiver run through her upon hearing him. She could feel the intense danger he exuded.

Her eyes were like shimmering pools of water, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she clutched at his shirt, "I turned him down, I really did. I could've handled it myself if you didn’t show up."

She knew he was referring to Jason's pursuit of her.

Her heart was still fraught with anxiety after she offered the answer. She worried that she wouldn't get any sleep tonight if Lysander snapped.

His mood was as unpredictable as the weather, so she always had to be on guard for his sudden outbursts.

"Why did you turn him down? Because you were scared of me?" Lysander's voice was as magnetic as ever; his words were carrying a hint of danger that Thalassa couldn't decipher.

Thalassa's heart pounded erratically as she tried to guess what he was thinking while bracing herself for his anger.

"Well, that was a part of it. But more importantly, he's just not my type." Thalassa's response was measured.

Lysander would never believe her if she said her rejection had nothing to do with her wariness of him.

She made no attempt to hide her fear of him.

Lysander's tense facial features relaxed a bit upon noticing her fear. He crouched down slightly, circling his arms around her legs and lifting her up.

Thalassa held her breath as she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

With long strides, he carried her to the bed. He loomed over her; his large, imposing figure was trapping her underneath him as he looked down at her, "So, what's your type then?"
