The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Ethan held her in a vice-like grip, and Janet could barely breathe. She tried wriggling out of his hold, but Ethan slung his leg around Janet, trapping her in place.

“I am having trouble breathing!” Janet kicked her legs, trying to free herself.

“But you’re still mad at me,” Ethan mumbled, pulling her impossibly closer. Janet could feel his hot breath blowing against her.
