Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1126

In what felt like the thousandth time Kenzo had taken her to the heights of ecstasy, Irene suddenly realized she wanted to be with this man. "Kenzo, my dad thinks highly of you."

As their time together wound down, she murmured, fighting through the soreness in her eyes from the intensity of their connection.

But Kenzo was just leaning against the wall, holding a book that seemed to delve into psychology.

"Uh-huh."

His tone was so nonchalant, it was as if the woman beside him hadn't just shared a moment of intense intimacy but was merely a stranger. Irene couldn't help herself; she reached out from under the covers to grab him.

"Kenzo, I'm not ready to sleep yet."

Irene was all about adventure, irresistibly drawn to the unknown. She knew Kenzo didn't feel the same, but she was confident that, in time, he would. After all, her fascination with him was more about his allure than genuine affection. They were both in it for what they could get; no need to complicate things with feelings.
