Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 104

“You can’t…” Whitney tried to resist, only to realize she had provoked a wrathful god.

The man’s hands, veins bulging with barely controlled fury, pinned her against the car window without saying a word. His lips crushed against hers without mercy, almost devouring her in his frenzied assault.

He turned and ordered Taryn, his voice harsh. “This woman is restless. Keep an eye on her. Take her phone. My

Whitney lay on the bed like a rag doll, her chest and neck stinging. It took a while before she could gather her
