Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 219:

Sean enveloped Norah in a firm embrace, as if trying to meld her into himself.

“Please, let me know if you’re in danger again. I can’t bear the thought of you being in such peril,” Sean said earnestly. He saw Norah as someone delicate, someone he was sworn to protect. Despite her capabilities, he assumed the threat of danger surely frightened her.

Then, he comforted Norah with a gentle pat on the back. “I’m here for you, as your partner. You’ve opened up to me, which means you trust me. Let’s build on that trust a little more.”

Touched by his concern, Norah felt a wave of emotion, her eyes moistening. Such compassion was new to her. His first reaction was not to reprimand, but to express concern for her well-being. This was warmth she knew couldn’t come from mere friendship.

“I feel sorry for Alice,” Norah whispered.

“I’ll make it right,” Sean soothed, giving Norah a tender caress on her head.

“Okay…” Norah then shifted to move closer to him, hiding her face in his embrace. “Sean, do you still have feelings for me?”
