CHAPTER 29 A Forbidden Temptation

  Angela walked beside Edmund, her heart thudding with both excitement and anxiety as they wandered through the bustling mall. She was trying to focus on anything but the way his hand rested possessively on the small of her back, guiding her toward their next stop. They had already gone through countless shops, picking up the essentials for the trip.

  As they approached the lingerie section of a high-end boutique, Edmund shot her a mischievous grin. "I think it's time to buy you something exciting," he said, winking at her.

  Angela blushed instantly, feeling a wave of shyness wash over her. "Edmund," she whispered, glancing around the store. The thought of shopping lingerie with him was already mortifying, but doing it in such a public place felt like too much. "Do we really have to?"

  He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Of course we do. You need the proper attire for the trip, don't you?"
