Chapter 927

Thalassa, raising her head from Lysander’s embrace, hastily said, “There’s no need; just let Fitch take us in the minivan. You’re so busy with work, and I wouldn’t want to take up more of your time.”

Lysander’s gaze lingered on her with a dark intensity, his breath hot on her face. “Are you sure you don’t need me to come with you?”

“Absolutely sure. We’ll be back in a couple of days,” Thalassa reassured him, her eyes shimmering with a light that only deepened his smoldering stare.

A flutter of panic seized Thalassa, fearing he might change his mind. She rose on her tiptoes and pressed a fleeting kiss to his lips. “You’re the best, you know that? Off I go. See you in two days.”

With those hurried words, she turned and practically bolted from the room.

Lysander stood motionless, watching her retreat. A ripple of heat coursed through him, though he forced it down, his Adam’s apple bobbing with the effort.

Downstairs, Thalassa quickly gathered the children in the yard. “Kids, time to hit the road to Grandma’s house!”

Dorian, clutching a soccer ball, paused mid-play, then dropped the ball and dashed towards Thalassa, rolling towards her like a tumbleweed. “Oh yeah, awesome! Can’t wait to see Grandma!”
