Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 864

Especially now, Jackson's shirt was practically bursting at the seams.

His broad chest muscles heaved with each slightly heavy breath, his abs tight and well-defined, each one seemingly ready to pop.

And because of the fever, his usually pale skin was flushed a delicate pink, adding a rather provocative and intense hue to his appearance. Yet, around his neck hung a black tie, looking like a naughty accessory that had somehow turned inappropriate.

Jackson's Adam's apple bobbed as he leaned in closer to her ear, his voice husky.

"Whatever you want to do to me, I'm all in."

All in my foot!

Liz's neck was as red as a beet, especially thinking about Cedric sitting right in front.

Whatever was said now, Cedric could hear, Liz glared fiercely at Jackson.

She pulled a towel out of her bag and threw it over Jackson's head, saying, "You seem pretty lively to me. Change by yourself!"

With that, she moved closer to the car window, turning her head to look outside, ignoring Jackson.
