Chapter 717

Thaddeus gently cradled Evadne’s chin, his lips descending upon hers, dissolving the rouge that had ensnared his very soul.

Their fervent kiss traced the contours of her lips, tasting an incomparable sweetness. As passion threatened to surge uncontrollably, they parted by tacit agreement.

Thaddeus gazed at Evadne’s flushed cheeks and dewy lips, a satisfied smile spreading across his face, “Now, your lips are more delicate than any blossom.”

You’re just too much. Either kissing or making love. Give me a break sometimes, will ya?” Evadne nestled into his embrace, her fingertips playfully pressed against his chiseled chest – a gesture she found irresistibly flirtatious.

Each poke, each touch, seemed to lift even the darkest of moods a little indulgence she couldn’t resist.

“So, I want to kiss, I want to make love. Will you give it to me?” Thaddeus whispered into her ear, his voice husky with desire.

Evadne’s shoulders tensed ever so slightly, her flushed cheeks providing the only answer he needed.

The couple snuggled on the couch, admiring a vibrant bouquet of roses, savoring this cozy moment of bliss.

“Thanks to you for uncovering Bevis‘ Achilles‘ heel – his tax evasion schemes – it forced him to cough up that five million he owed.” Evadne’s fingers teased his jawline, her eyes sparkling in admiration, “You’ve indeed lightened my load.”

As she spoke, she looped her arms around his neck and planted a playful kiss on his cool, thin lips, “Tonight, you shall be handsomely rewarded.”

“Thank you, my queen,” he murmured, his tone rich and velvety.

Thaddeus, usually so stoic, was putty in Evadne’s hands. She was playful, and he was always there to join in the fun.

“You’re quite the charmer, aren’t you?” Evadne traced his smiling lips, “Deviously charming, but I like it.”

“Bevis has been exiled from the K Group and saddled with a debt of five million.”

Thaddeus held her hand gently, “Is this where we stop, Evadne?”

“Stop?” Evadne scoffed, her eyes alight with mischief, “You hit where it hurts the most. Do you think I’d let that scoundrel off so easily?”
