Under The Oak Tree Chapter 19

Nagising si Amber na hubad at walang maalala sa isang prestihiyosong hotel sa Milchester. Pero isa lang ang alam niya, hindi simpleng tao ang nakasiping niya kagabi.

At ngayon ay nagising itong may iilang piraso ng isang libo pagkatapos ng mainit nilang pinagsaluhan. Ano nga ba ang naghihintay kay Amber matapos niyang tratuhin bilang isang bayaran ang batikan at kilala sa kanyang ginagawa? Mauuwi ba ang isa sa hindi inaasahang kasunduan na maglalapit sa kanila o sa walang katapusang bangayan na sisira sa kanilang dalawa?

I swallowed nervously, staring at his captivating face. No man should possess such beauty but he did and I could sense the pride exuding from his words. “I was wondering if you were dropped on your head when you were a baby.” 💗💗💗 Warning: Contains mature scenes not suitable for readers under the age of 18.
