Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 826

Parker had always prided himself on never losing control over a woman before.

Even with his limited experience, his first time had been with Endora at a club three years back.

After that, no other woman had caught his eye.

But now, with Tiana, he felt a fiery passion, his mind constantly replaying fantasies of moments with her!

It was bizarre!

"Look, tell me, are you hiding something from me? Did we...cross a line?" His eyes dark with uncertainty, he ventured a guess.

Thunder rumbled—

Tiana's gaze danced as wildly as her fluttering heart.

If previously, in the car, he had merely harbored suspicions upon seeing Ludwik and Whitney together, this time, he was outright confronting her.

He recalled her naked form after their long, intimate embraces in bed!

Tiana's heart raced, her wrist aching from his grasp, her eyes misting over.

"Why are you avoiding me? Is there really something? Look at me and answer!"

He pressed closer.

Tiana felt suffocated. What should she do? Recollections were surfacing in his mind, and oddly, she felt wronged.

She never wanted to be just another woman he'd slept with then discarded.

But to confess, to come clean, how would he see her? Would he think she had taken advantage of him, harbored ill intentions?

Or could there...could there be a future for them?

Tiana suppressed her breath, but his breath was scorching, drawing her in with a manly scent that made her voice tremble as she dared to meet his gaze, "What if, I mean if something did happen between us, what would you think about it?"

"What do you mean?" Parker's lips thinned, his voice hoarse.

"Did something really happen?"

"Answer my question first." Tiana frowned, her question earnest, "If something did happen, how would you feel? Regretful, annoyed, disgusted to have touched the woman once humiliated by your brother, right?

You can't explain it to your brother, nor handle the situation with me, would you just avoid me then?"

"You…" Parker's features darkened, his grip tightening on her hands pinned against the wall, his gaze fixating on her pessimistic eyes, a flame igniting within him, "After all these years, is that really what you think of me?

Huh? Tiana, do you see me as such an irresponsible jerk?"

"Then how would you handle it? If something did happen, it shouldn't have... could you really be responsible towards me with a fiancée?"

Tiana was skeptical.

Not to mention, his fiancée was none other than Endora from the Melford family, a woman who always had it out for her.

Even if he wanted to, could the Melfords accept her given her complicated past with Barclay?

It was all too complicated between them.

Moreover, she had no clue about Parker's true feelings.

A second, two seconds passed, his lips remained sealed, his expression growing more intense.

Tiana mocked herself inwardly, pulling away with a forced jest, "Your silence says it all. If something did happen, you'd surely regret getting involved with me, a troublemaker. You wouldn't be happy, would you?"
