Chapter 491
Brielle had a whirlwind of questions swirling in her head. Would Max have really
gotten. engaged if she hadn’t shown up? Did he truly suffer from amnesia?
But at that moment, she couldn’t muster a single word. Her thoughts were in
disarray, utterly swept up by his advances.
By the time she regained her bearings, she found herself being ushered into a
secluded lounge at the end of the hallway.
“What are we-mmph.”
His familiar scent, his towering height, and even his gestures were all too known
to her. It was as if fireworks were exploding in her mind, and she felt as though a
predator was closing in from behind.
“Brielle, I don’t want to think about anything else right now.”
Max was Impassioned, the corners of his mouth turning up into a smile at the
memory of her appearing at the door.

Max rested his forehead against her shoulder; Brielle was quite a bit shorter than
him, so this gesture had him slightly hunched over, as if bowing in submission to
the petite woman in his
arms.
Brielle could feel his intimidating warmth and blushed, realizing that now was not

next move.

breathless at last. There was no time to ponder the hows and whys, only the
ceaseless burst of fireworks in her mind.

her. And that was more than enough. She felt an overwhelming flutter in her
heart.

were close by added a thrilling mix of shame and excitement.
The temperature in the room seemed to be nearing a boiling point, her body’s
moisture evaporating. Her cheeks were flushed, and she often felt like a fish
dying of thirst, thrown onto the shore by a violent storm, only to be swept back
into the sea by another wave. The sensation of almost drowning, then gasping
for air, was maddening.

Who was it that said love was the most violent poison that unsettled the soul, that
love signified an insatiable greed?
The intensity of this moment, the fulfillment, and the extraordinary reactions were
like picnicking on the edge of an abyss, utterly oblivious to the peril.
The fierce beast within Brielle’s heart. The lover at her back.
Brielle slowly closed her eyes, a fine sheen of sweat beading on her forehead.
At seven in the morning, Brielle was completely drained. She weakly tried to
push Max away with her eyes closed.
