The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209 

Thalassa couldn’t take it anymore-the embarrassment was too much. She almost turned 

on her heel to leave. 

But then she thought of his injury, of how he was still recovering, and she suppressed the 

urge. 

Her hands trembled as she slowly unzipped his jeans, her forehead beading with sweat, her breath tight in her chest. 

As soon as she pulled the zipper down, Lysander wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close with a firm tug. 

He held the back of her head, his lips claiming hers in a fierce and fiery kiss that stole her breath and spun her world. 

In the steamy heat of the bathroom, their passion rose quickly, filling the space with an intoxicating mist. 

At work, Thalassa received great news from Ethan; the new smartphone ad campaign shot by Susan had been a hit, skyrocketing sales.

Thalassa got it, but Ethan’s smile didn’t sit right with her. 

“Mr. Ethan, people usually frown upon hearing their stocks have plummeted. Why do I get the feeling you’re actually enjoying this?” 

After all, a drop in stock value affects the company. 

Ethan, as the boss, seemed unusually joyful for someone who had just lost money. 

“I’m happy the new smartphone is a hit,” Ethan replied, dodging the real issue. 

“No, I mean…”
