His Unveiled Passion

Stephen wrapped his arms around Tessa, his magnetic voice sounding above her head as he said, "I've missed you."

A smile appeared on Tessa's lips. "I missed you, too."

"If you missed me, then why didn't you call? Why didn't you seek me out?" Stephen bombarded her with question after question.

"I was busy today," Tessa replied.

"With?" he asked.

"I was out shopping with Sienna," she promptly answered.

He sounded jealous as he muttered, "I see how it is. Your best friend is more important than I am."

"Are you seriously going to be jealous of Sienna?" she huffed in amusement.

His lips moved lower, brushing against Tessa's ear. His voice was low and seductive as he murmured, "I can go shopping with you, too."

"No, you can't," she said with a weary sigh.

That would be too obvious. Now wasn't a good time for them to flaunt their relationship.

They were quite literally in her father's territory at the moment. If someone saw them together and told him about it, Samuel was definitely going to throw a mother of all fusses over it.

She was also quite certain that he might force them to end their relationship.

Stephen's breath tickled Tessa's nape, making her squirm.
