The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 220: Ticking Bomb

The heavy conversation from the kitchen hung between us, but the possessive warmth in Leonard’s eyes hadn’t faded. He walked me up the grand staircase and right to my bedroom door, but instead of leaving, he leaned his massive frame against the doorframe.
