Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 191:

After Sean departed, Norah remained in a trance, her mind struggling to return to the present. She lightly brushed her neck, feeling the lingering wetness of his kiss.

Norah was puzzled. Was his kiss an assumption of her feelings? Did he ever stop to consider the possibility that she might decline? His actions seemed recklessly bold.

Even so, Norah acknowledged that the recklessness was mutual, and somehow, it didn’t seem amiss to her.

Immersing herself in the bath, she plunged underwater, holding her breath with intensity until the urgent need for air overwhelmed her.

Surfacing abruptly, she gasped for breath. “Whoosh!”

Clearing her face with her hands, her vision, once blurred by water, sharpened. Her mind shifted to Sean.

Should she say yes to Sean’s advances? Sean had made a valid point. Her hesitation and her fear of commitment were palpable. But it felt like no time had passed since her separation from Derek.

However, she found herself easily swayed by Sean’s presence or his words, pondering when affection had begun to take root. Every time Sean was around, her heart would race. In his absence, her thoughts would subconsciously drift to him, filled with curiosity about his day. She would even wonder if he had already eaten. She yearned to know every part of his life.
