Forbidden Passion

Chapter 488 Missed

Phoebe spun around in Theodore's arms, her hand reaching up to touch his chiseled face. Her eyes traced a path from his forehead to his brows, then down to his eyes, sliding along the bridge of his nose, and finally landing on his thin lips. She got on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his lips.

Theodore's eyes widened, and his grip on Phoebe's waist tightened, a hint of excitement creeping in.

Breaking the silence, he suggested, "Babe, let's head back to the bedroom."

Phoebe just wanted a kiss, but things escalated quickly. When he scooped her up, she snapped back to reality. "I haven't taken my meds yet." "Not tonight," said Theodore.

He leaned down and kissed her, silencing all her protests. In that moment, he wasn't taking no for an answer.

After a night of passion, Phoebe couldn't get out of bed the next morning. She slept until the afternoon, only to be woken up by her phone ringing. Phoebe glanced at the caller ID, and her sleepy brain cleared up a bit.

She wrapped herself in the blanket and sat up, answering the call. Donovan's cold voice came through. "Phoebe, where are you?"

Phoebe shivered at Donovan's tone. She looked around and said, "I'm at the Imperial Apartment. What's up?"

"I'll come get you right now." Donovan hung up before she could respond.

Phoebe sat there, staring at her phone. Donovan rarely called her, and even more rarely spoke to her like that.

She thought, 'Is something wrong?'

Phoebe got out of bed, took a shower, and then walked into the walk-in closet wrapped in a bathrobe. The dress she planned to wear tonight was hanging there. She had to admit, Nathaniel's craftsmanship was top-notch. The dress was stunning.
