Chapter 364

I remembered something Jared once told me: the one who’s loved is actually the most powerless. When the person they care about turns away, they’re left stranded, trapped by their own feelings, lost and confused–like a temple left behind after all the worshippers have gone.

And now I couldn’t help but wonder–would I end up like Jared someday? If Nathan ever stopped reaching out for my love, would I feel that same hollow emptiness inside?

While I was spacing out, Nathan slipped in close, cupped my chin, and kissed me tenderly.

The hot steam behind me made me uneasy, so I pressed closer to Nathan, almost hiding against him.

With a low, teasing laugh, he scooped me up and carried me out of the kitchen, setting me down on the wine rack nearby.

Suddenly, I was half a head taller than him, caught off guard and a little startled.

Nathan tilted his head back, his gaze soft yet smoldering. He reached up, looping his arms around my neck and pulling me down, refusing to let me go as we tangled together.

‘Innocent, huh? Who ever said that about him?‘ I thought.
