Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 73

Lizetta freaked out, stomping her feet in panic.

Out of nowhere, another hand popped up, grabbing at her pants, tugging at her calf.

Lizetta wanted to scream in terror, stumbling, about to be dragged off stage by a bunch of groping hands.

Suddenly, a force wrapped around her waist and pulled her into an embrace.

Then, Lizetta heard a series of blood–curdling screams, and the hands groping her vanished into thin air.

A commotion broke out beneath the stage.

Lizetta was spun around in someone’s arms, carried away from the edge of the stage.

Her heart still racing, she instinctively looked up to say thanks.

But before she could speak, her chin was grasped, and a man’s slightly rough fingertips rubbed over her lips.

Then a masculine scent overwhelmed her, muffling her voice completely.

Lizetta’s eyes widened as she realized she was being kissed forcefully, her lips pried open with dominant aggression.

“Mmm. Mmm!”

Lizetta trembled all over, raising her hand to slap the man’s face hard.

Her wrist was gripped tightly by the man, and when she tried to knee him, he reacted quickly, pinning her firmly in his arms.

He was tall, lifting her off the ground by the waist, her toes dangling, powerless.
