Chapter 153: Showing his Love to Her

"Why are you showing me this?" she asks.

"I want to show you how much I love you," he says seriously.

Avery feels the tears coming to her eye. She desperately wants to tell him that she loves him too, but she knows she can't. She digs her nails into her palm and tries to take deep breaths.

"I have to remember what's important," she thinks, "I can't let my emotions carry me away."

"Are you touched?" Evan asks, trying to read her expression, "Did you think I disliked your presents?"

Evan closes the safe and regards Avery. She's terrified that something in her face will give her away, and she tries to turn away from him. He caught her and pulled her close. Then he kissed her deeply and soulfully. He's a talented kisser, and she is naturally and gradually immersed in the kiss.
