Chapter 498

Joshua stood by the window, his back to her, quietly talking on the phone.

Joshua ended the call with a quick, "Alright, that's it for now," then turned and pulled Allison into his arms. "You're back."

She melted into his chest, her voice barely above a whisper. "Joshua, you're so good to me."

He laughed, that deep, magnetic sound she loved. "You're just figuring that out?"

"Will you always be this good to me?"

"Of course."

Allison looked up at him, her eyes shining like stars, never looking away from his.

The kiss was deep, hungry, full of longing.
