Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 405

It was 3 a.m. when everything came to an end, and she was too exhausted to lift a finger.

Max fetched a towel from the bathroom and gently wiped down her skin inch by inch. So when Brielle woke up the next day, she felt clean and refreshed all over.
