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.

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