A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Chapter 167

A shiver coursed through Reese's body, warmth spreading to her collarbones, igniting a simmering heat that seemed to engulf her entirely.

With a flushed face and an unsightly expression of discomfort, she struggled. "Mr. Strakovski, please let go of me. You're drunk. Let me take you back to your room to rest."

Lukas restrained Reese, catching a whiff of the delicate fragrance that clung to her. His eyes flickered with a hint of something as if questioning whether he himself was intoxicated.

Oddly, she appeared to have a higher tolerance for his inebriated self than usual.

Lukas's eyes held a shadowy and unreadable expression. He wasn't sure of his own thoughts at this moment, allowing a half-genuine, half-pretend drunk tone to seep into his voice. "Don't move. I'm not drunk. I can still handle more later."

Reese couldn't help but smile wryly. He was definitely drunk. She felt resigned, predicting that Lukas would undoubtedly be grumpy once he sobered up and realized his behavior from that night.

When Reese felt the pressure from Lukas's grip ease a bit, she tried to push him away.

However, Lukas tightened his hold immediately, his voice slightly hoarse and low. "Behave. Stop struggling."

His indulgent voice made her heart turn erratic. She took a deep breath. This man was just drunk. Besides, he had never spoken to her in this manner before. He must have mistaken her for someone else.
