The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 43

Clad in her flannel pajamas, Natalia was drying her hair.

“Come here, I’ll do it,” said Magnus, patting the empty space next to him..

“No, your arm is not healed yet,” she declined, choosing to sit on the sofa and dry her hair

herself.

Magnus frowned, slightly irritated by her refusal.

Natalia, oblivious to his annoyance, finished drying her hair and sat next to him, “I think I’ll sleep in the next room. I wouldn’t want to hurt your wound in the night.”

He quickly grabbed her, as if scared she would run off, “Get in bed. Stop being stubborn, or I’ll get annoyed.”

She rolled her eyes at him, but he didn’t care. Pulling her close, he finally got to hold her. Breathing in the sweet scent of her skin and the aroma of her shower gel, a sense of sweetness started to spread in his heart.

Natalia stiffened in his arms, not daring to move.

Magnus, unable to resist, moved her shoulder a bit, and soon found her soft lips. He kissed her passionately, savoring her sweetness. His body felt like it was on fire. He wanted her.

“Magnus… no, your wound isn’t healed,” Natalia pushed him away.

He held onto her restless hand, “It’s okay, darling. I want you.” His voice was raspy and

His hand had already slipped into her pajamas, running over her smooth back, his hurried breath hot on her face. The strong scent of his masculine pheromones overwhelmed her senses. She began to tremble, she knew this was what would happen.

Magnus, passionate in his advances, pressed her against him, his hand tearing open her pajama top. Suddenly, he hissed in pain as he touched his wounded shoulder.
