Chapter 472

At the end of a dimly lit corridor, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, two figures were wrapped in an intimate embrace.

“Ourh. It hurts. It really hurts.”

“Sorry, Evadne.nl be gentler

Evadne leaned against the wall, her porcelain skin shimmering with a hint of moisture. Her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her lips, lightly bitten, added a touch of enchanting softness to her beauty.

Kneeling before her, Thaddeus slipped off her burgundy stilettos, his large hands cradling her slender, delicate ankle, while the other hand cautiously massaged her toes.

“You’re such a tease, dancing so wildly. It’s your fault I twisted my ankle. Don’t you know how to be gentle with me?” Evadne pouted, her voice a soft reproach.

“Blame me, Evadne. You can take it out on me when we get home, however you like, or start now if you want.”

Thaddeus felt guilty. Lost for what to do, he tapped his chest, “Hit me hard right there.”

Evadne raised her fist, then gently let it fall, “Forget it, your pecs are as hard as rocks. I’d only hurt my hand.”

Thaddeus looked up, his lips curving in a knowing smile. He knew she couldn’t bear to hurt him.

His touch was skilled, the pain in Evadne’s ankle eased and was now replaced by a comforting sensation.

As Thaddeus gazed at her delicate feet, his Adam’s apple moved noticeably.

She was like some ethereal sprite, with skin so smooth and toes so perfectly shaped, he couldn’t help but adore them.

“Evadne, your feet are beautiful.”

“Wow, you’re such a weirdo. Who fixates on a girl’s feet like you do?”

She flushed, and her toes curled within his palm, “Just own up to it, Thaddeus, you’re quite a rascal!”

“Oh, is that so? Do nice guys truly finish last? Still feeling sore?”

“My appointed masseur has quite the touch. It seems you’ve managed to make it up to me,” Evadne said, her smile wry and her gaze narrowing in mock conspiration.

After helping her back into her heels, Thaddeus stood up, his left arm bracing against the wall by her head, his right hand swiftly encircling her waist, eagerly capturing her lips in a fervent kiss.

He had been wanting to kiss her for so long, holding back until he was burning with desire.

Evadne’s lashes fluttered in shyness, but her arms wrapped around his neck, fully reciprocating his passion.

Their lips locked in an intense, fiery embrace, tongues teasing and twining with desire.

Each kiss was savored with insatiable desire, as if they were trying to quench an unending thirst.

Evadne broke away, breathless, but Thaddeus wasn’t done. He grasped her chin and pursued her lips again, clearly unsatisfied.

“Maybe we shouldn’t go public tonight.”

Thaddeus paused, obviously nervous, “Evadne, what’s wrong?”
