Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 327

Brandon rubbed his forehead against mine. "But I really miss you. I miss you so much..."

He took my hand and pressed it against his warm, intimate spot.

Brandon unlocked the door, but just as I was about to go in, he pulled me back. "You really don't want me to come in?"

"No, I don't." I couldn't even look at him.
