CHAPTER 43 Isabella

  We didn’t speak for some time. All I could hear besides her breathing was the faint noises from the celebration outside. She was staring at me with those beautiful green eyes moving from my head to my toe. I shifted from her gaze which felt like her hands moving up and down my body. I was barely keeping it together while she stood there calm and collected.

  “I thought about this moment for a while. Trying to figure out the best way to apologize,” she started, never losing eye contact. “Now I’m speechless. You look beautiful.”

  It was as if those words said everything I wanted to hear. I closed the distance between us and captured her lips with mine. Our kisses were hungry, both of us fighting for dominance. Whatever she was apologizing for didn’t matter right now. I was glad she was here. I was glad that she came back. I was glad she still wanted me. Right? I pulled back as we both fought to regain our breathing.
