Bab 418: Frozen in Her Grasp

Her lips curved into a mischievous smile, her eyes still gleaming with that dangerous mix of desire and amusement. Her body pressed closer, her breath hot against Adrian's skin as she whispered the words that sent a cold shiver down his spine.

"I love you."

'Shoot-!'

Adrian's eyes widened in shock.

'N-No-!'
