Chapter 186: The moment those words fell from her lips, Kellan was instantly transported back to that night on the cruise ship, when Allison had boldly declared, Ill be in charge.

In that moment, with her straddling him, he had felt as if his very soul ignited, willingly surrendering all control as she guided him into a realm of bliss that seemed almost otherworldly.

The thrill of that encounter lingered in his memory like a tattoo on his heart.

Kellan swallowed hard, forcing himself to push Allison away with surprising restraint.

Allison gradually released her hold on his waist.
