Love's Redemption

Redmption 280



My nerves tightened

Oh no, was Brandon thinking about doing it again?

The desire for food and sex was natural. Once one had tasted it, it was hard to resist.

It seemed that no matter the status, no one could escape this. It was just like in those fantasy dramas where even the most aloof gods would break the rules to fall in love.

Love was truly the most fatal weakness given to humans by the heavens.

As Brandon kissed me, hardly separating, my mind started to wander,

It wasn't until I felt a slight bite on my lip that I snapped back to reality. Brandon had already placed me on the bed, his body pressing down on mine. His eyes filled with a burning desire, and his Adam's apple was moving seductively. His arms were half- propped on either side of me. The firmness of The sheer sensuality of the moment sent an indescribable sensation coursing through my body. It was tingling and electric, spreading from one point t I knew this feeling-I was aroused.

The uncontrollable desire was something I was beginning to understand.

However, I was still a little apprehensive. After all, the discomfort from yesterday hadn't completely faded. If he tried again, I wasn't sure I could handle If I really did end up injured, infected, or sick, like Lisa warned, it might affect my ability to have children in the future. That would be... bad. So, I needed to control myself.

My rationality won over the sensation. Just as INôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

was thinking of how to turn him down, Brandon suddenly leaned down again, his cheek brushing against mine as his lips grazed my face, hair, and ea "Thank you, Mrs. Howell," he whispered hoarsely.

"I thought you were upset," I said, feeling a little aggrieved as I hit him lightly.

I wasn't sure if my little punch hurt him, but his tense muscles did make my hand ache a little.

"I'm both happy and grateful," Brandon replied, kissing the tip of my ear and gently sucking on it.

A shiver shot through my body, making my toes curl.

Brandon seemed to notice my reaction as he pressed his body closer. His kisses started to wander from my ear to my hairline, cheeks, the tip of my nose, eyes, forehead, and finally, back to my lips

This was...

It was truly and maddeningly seductive.

It slowly eroded my rationality, and I arched my body toward him as lo wrapped my arms around his neck. Brandon's breathing grew heavier next to my ear, and his hand slipped under my clothes.

Just then, my phone rang loudly from my pocket, causing both of us to jolt, abruptly cutting off our growing passion.

I hurriedly reached for my phone. However, with Brandon pressing down on me, I fumbled a few times but couldn't get to it. Brandon eventually helped

The call was from Bree.

I didn't know if I should aurer the call.

While I was hesitating, Brandon said, "Go ahead and answer it."

Then, he got up and left the bedroom.

I let out a long breath before putting the phone to my ear. "Bree."

"Maddie, if I die, it'll be because Chris and that woman drove me to it," Bree began.

I didn't know what happened, so I asked, "Bree, don't be upset. What did they do to make you so angry this time?"
