Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 23

For Seraphina, the best outcome would be to stop Leandro from going out.

If she couldn’t – well, at least she could leave her lipstick on his lips.

So, even if Leandro pushed her away and walked out of here, those two outside would just think he had a little rendezvous with some chick here.

Terrell might be curious about the woman who met Leandro, but a guy like Balch, with his status and manners, wouldn’t give a hoot about such a thing.

If Terrell saw her, Seraphina wouldn’t care.

But if Balch saw her, Seraphina thought it would be a real pain in the ass.

She weighed her options in a few seconds, while the man she was kissing looked colder and colder.

And Seraphina, oblivious, kept smooching away.

Compared to Leandro’s physique, she was way too petite to stop him with her body, and ended up practically sprawled across

him.

And yet, she managed to stop Leandro, even making him take a step back. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Noticing this, Seraphina breathed a sigh of relief and pulled away from his lips.

In an instant, they were almost nose–to–nose, and Seraphina finally looked up, straight into his deep eyes.

Whether it was unconscious or just a habit, she pouted a little and gave him another peck.

Leandro looked down at her with a dark gaze, showing no hint of his thoughts.

Seraphina thought that the situation seemed temporarily stable, and her attention involuntarily drifted back to the public space outside the cubicle.

But the next moment, Leandro suddenly kissed her back.

Seraphina was taken aback.

She held her breath and looked up at Leandro in a daze.

Leandro, however, bent down and kissed her again.

His face was a blur at such close proximity, but at some point, Seraphina saw his emotionless eyes.

That bastard!

Had he seen through her and was deliberately using the same method to tease her?

Before Seraphina could react, Leandro had one arm around her waist and the other at the back of her head, pulling her close. Seraphina instinctively struggled, and with her struggle, Leandro took another step back but still didn’t let her go.

The next moment, a suffocating sound echoed in the already breathless space –

Their bodies hit the toilet flush, and the sound of water filled the air.

At the sink, Balch glanced at the cubicle through the mirror, while Terrell turned his head directly towards it. Even though she couldn’t see, Seraphina could imagine the scene outside, and her body stiffened instantly.

Should she let Leandro go, or keep him blocked in?

But the next moment, Seraphina realized she was overthinking, because she wasn’t the one in control!

With that thought, Seraphina bit down hard on Leandro.

Leandro’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he loosened his lips a bit, causing Seraphina to let out a sound, “Ah…”

Both Balch and Terrell outside turned their heads towards the toilet cubicle again. Balch quickly looked away, while Terrell kept staring at the noisy side.

At the next moment, that voice rang out again–sweet, alluring, and dripping with a coquettish tenderness that could make any man’s legs turn to jelly.

“Be gentler, please. You’re hurting me… Mmm… There are people outside…”

Balch wiped his hands with the towel, tossed it aside, and turned to leave. Terrell finally snapped back to reality, hastily calling out

‘to him, “Mr. Lawson! I didn’t mean to appear before you. It just so happened that someone invited me to dine here today…”

Behind his glasses, Balch’s gaze dimmed slightly, yet he still left the restroom without pausing.
