Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 200

Julie found herself blocked outside the door by Kieran.

By the time she managed to open the door, the book in Kieran’s hand had already disappeared.

“I bet you won’t tell me where you hid the book!” She stood in front of him, looked around at the same time.

He looked down at her, giving her a nod. “You’re spot on.”

“I really wish I could pretend I don’t care, really!” She tiptoed to glance behind Kieran. After all, the most dangerous place is often the safest.

Without hesitation, Kieran turned around, giving her a full view, then turned back, grabbed her shoulders and asked, “Ready for bed?”

“Don’t change the subject.” She shrugged off his arm and moved closer to him, backing him into a corner, “Didn’t we agree that there would be no more secrets?”

Her determined gaze had him sitting down on the bed. He looked at the serious Julie, responding seriously, “This isn’t our secret. More precisely, it’s my…secret.”

With that, he gave up resisting, sprawling onto the bed, “Babe, ready for bed?”

She stood firmly by the bed, not taking the bait, but instead kicked his leg lightly, “Why The Shadow Thief?”

“Probably because there is no The Heart Thief!” The man lying on the bed looked thoughtful.

Clearly, that was an evasive answer. Julie blurted out, “Did you badmouth me in the book?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Kieran suddenly sat up, grabbed her wrist and fell back onto the bed. Julie, pulled by his weight, collapsed onto him.

With her hands on either side of his head to avoid crushing him, she tried to get up, but he circled her waist with his big hand.

His sexy voice echoed in her ear, “Hmm, that’s why I’m afraid you’ll be upset after reading it. People shouldn’t read books.”

Seriously? These words were from a top student? Julie wasn’t buying it.

“Stop messing around and let me go. I need to talk to you.” She positioned her hands on his body, the position a bit too intimate.
