Chapter 63

His kiss was a punishment, and he was harshly grinding against Natalia’s lips.

Natalia’s heart pounded like a drum. Magnus was outrageously domineering Suddenly, she remembered a familiar scent when she had fainted and fell into the sea, the scent that gave her air. She opened her eyes wide to look at the handsome face of Magnus. He was kissing her madly with his eyes closed. Mimicking him, she sucked on his lips.

Magnus‘ body slightly quivered, and he quickly opened his eyes to meet Natalia’s blue gaze. Thinking of something else while we’re kissing?”

No. Could he read minds?

Natalia braced herself against his chest, her face flaming. “Magnus, Linden called us for dinner earlier. Now that everything is clear, let’s go downstairs to

He would have to instruct his uncle to send Hector back to America soon, and as for Kendra, this time, he would make her understand the consequences of challenging him

After dinner, Natalia prepared a bath for Magnus, and once he was clean, she gave him a half–hour massage
