Chapter 191

Looking into Gabriel Wallace’s deep, unfathomable eyes, Lilah Hart instinctively swallowed. “I... I didn’t mean that. I was just trying to say—mmph…”

Before she could finish, the man’s lips caught hers in a sudden kiss.

She tried to push him away on reflex, but compared to his solid frame, her struggle was barely more than a flutter—like trying to move a mountain.

Right at that moment, the butler happened to walk into the living room, witnessed the scene, and promptly spun on his heel to flee.

See nothing, hear nothing, don’t get involved—lesson learned.

“Gabriel Wallace, you—” she gasped when he finally let her go, barely catching her breath before she felt his teeth clamp down on her neck.

“Ah—!” Lilah hissed in mild pain.

His hands moved fast, slipping under her top like he’d done it a hundred times before.

“Gabriel, stop—we’re not alone here!” She glanced toward the front of the house, almost certain she’d heard footsteps just now.
