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.

I pulled my hand back sharply and quickly hid it behind me. Seeing my panic, he chuckled softly. "Don't you want it?"

"I don't. Not at all. I'm tired and just want to sleep." I pushed him away and fumbled for the keys.

I couldn't find the keys in my flustered state, so after a while, he retrieved them for me.

"You're such a little scaredy-cat," he whispered close to my ear.

I felt a flush spread over my body. It was as if his warmth was contagious.

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.
