Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 200

---- Chapter 200 Grace's priority now was figuring out how to get Lambert Group's project back. This project involved billions of dollars.

The man kissed her immediately, urgently pulling her into his arms and setting her ona waist-high cabinet. Grace instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist as his kiss left her breathless. He spoke with an urgent tone. "I missed you

"I don't want you to see me like this." His tone was full of dark desire. His voice grew husky as he slowly knelt down and buried his face between her legs. Grace ---- instinctively pointed her toes, her hands losing strength as they grasped his hair. Her mind went blank as waves of pleasure washed over her. She could even feel his teeth marks on her calves. It felt sharp, painful, yet

like it too. The man stood up and held her. For someone his height, she 'was quite small, clinging to his waist like a koala. She leaned against the headboard to calm herself, feeling his fingertips trace the teeth marks on her calf, which still hurt. She tried to pull her leg back, but he held it firmly. He was really
