Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 190:

Sean carried Norah back to the hotel and, after gently placing her on the bed, began loosening his tie. His voice carried a mix of frustration and concern. “Norah, we need to talk.” Sean was bewildered. After hearing his confession, Norah had ventured into a bar for other men’s company. Was there no regard for his feelings, or was it something else?

Norah, sensing the gravity of his tone, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of remorse. True, seeking out company in a bar wasn’t her finest moment, even if it had been innocuous.

“I mentioned I had an errand and would return shortly. But why were you at the bar searching for me?” she countered.

With every word, Norah’s stance grew more defiant, almost as if she were daring Sean to challenge her, putting him in a delicate position. Yet, harsh words were not something Sean could bring himself to use against Norah.

“Norah, can you just tell me what’s going on in your head?” Sean’s voice softened significantly. “You know how I feel about you. It hurts to see you with others.”

Norah couldn’t resist a slight tease. “Oh, is someone feeling jealous?”

Sean’s gaze was filled with a silent plea for understanding, his grievance evident. “Norah…”
