Chapter 324: Fighting

Lennox’s POV

Levi’s smirk didn’t falter, but the glint in his eyes sharpened. "I’m saying..." he drawled, stepping further into the room, "...that maybe your anger wasn’t about what she did. Maybe it was about you needing an excuse to pull her into bed and stake your claim again."

Levi’s smirk faded into something more guarded, but he didn’t back down. "Then prove it. Not with words, Lennox. With actions that go beyond your bed."

I could feel Olivia’s heartbeat through her back. Louis finally exhaled, stepping between us. "Enough.
