Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 113:

After the alarm blared its obnoxious tune, Norah, nursing her hangover, reached out for her phone, only to bump into an arm instead.

She felt the firm sinew of the arm and realized that it belonged to a man, a realization that jolted her awake and caused her to open her eyes to meet the gaze of Sean, who was in the process of silencing her phone’s alarm.

Sean, who had hickeys like trophies, looked at her with a hint of awkwardness.

“Off to work, huh? Why not take the day to recover?” Sean suggested nonchalantly, taking it upon himself to dictate Norah’s schedule for the day.

Norah hesitated, taking a moment to register her undress before hastily grabbing the blanket to cover herself.

Meanwhile, Sean, also unclothed, sported a sunkissed complexion, taut muscles, and an impressive eight-pack, a testament to his dedication to physical fitness.

Avoiding their direct gaze, Norah croaked, “Mr. Scott, what brings you here? And what in heaven’s name happened between us last night?”

Sean, far more composed than Norah, leisurely lit a cigarette and blew smoke rings as he remarked. “Norah, you really do have a lamentable memory, shall I jog it for you?”

Glancing at Norah’s exposed shoulder, Sean recalled the events of the previous night and realized that she was even more captivating than he had first suspected.

Norah massaged her temples, gradually piecing together fragments of the night before. However, with each recollection, her complexion paled. She recalled being the instigator, and Sean, far from resisting, had eagerly acquiesced, leading them to the throes of passion.

Norah lay there, stunned into silence. Her overindulgence in drinks was now a source of profound regret. How could she have allowed herself to become so inebriated?

Sean’s gaze, she averted her eyes, unable to bear the intensity of the moment. “I got drunk last night. I hope
