Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 742

"Seriously? Now? Of all times?"

Did she even dare make a sound?

If Bryce walked in and found Ludwik kissing her, she might as well dig her own grave.

Frozen in shock, she couldn't move an inch.

Ludwik, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, cradled her blushing cheeks in his hands and deepened their kiss, indulging in the moment.

He knew he was pushing the boundaries.

But who could blame him? Tasting her sweet lips was like an addiction he couldn't shake off. Once he got a taste, stopping was the last thing on his mind.

In the dimly lit room, Ludwik's husky breaths echoed in Whitney's ears.

She was so tense she didn't dare to breathe, her heart struggling for oxygen, feeling weaker by the second.

Desperately, she clutched at his shirt, barely keeping herself upright.

In her mind, she was pleading for Bryce to leave, so she could push this infuriating man away.

But gradually, Ludwik's skillful kiss swept her away.

She felt as if she was floating on clouds, her heart pounding uncontrollably...

The sound of voices faded away from the study's doorway, unnoticed by her.

Suddenly, her phone's ringtone pierced through the air, startling Whitney back to reality.

She hastily pushed away the warmth in front of her!
