The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 63

The fury in his heart flared up again. He was a solitary, stubborn man, who’d lived on an island for countless years. The things he held dear were not to be toyed with by anyone, let alone tarnished again by a self–proclaimed boyfriend!

His kiss was a punishment, and he was harshly grinding against Natalia’s lips.

Natalia’s heart pounded like a drum. Magnus was outrageously domineering Suddenly, she remembered a familiar scent when she had fainted and fell into the sea, the scent that gave her air. She opened her eyes wide to look at the handsome face of Magnus. He was kissing her madly with his eyes closed. Mimicking him, she sucked on his lips.

Magnus‘ body slightly quivered, and he quickly opened his eyes to meet Natalia’s blue gaze. Thinking of something else while we’re kissing?”

No. Could he read minds?

Natalia braced herself against his chest, her face flaming. “Magnus, Linden called us for dinner earlier. Now that everything is clear, let’s go downstairs to

eat.”

Magnus looked at her swollen lips, and his throat was bobbing “Okay, but darling, keep your distance from Hector Got it? You’re a married woman now

Okay?”

“I understand He’s leaving for the States soon, don’t worry. I promised you, and I’ll keep my word. Don’t lose your temper, the girl said, sitting on his lap

Magnus suddenly wondered what he would do without this girl in his life. She had already made a habit of sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and rubbed his face against hers. “Good girl, I trust you” He turned his gaze to the slowly darkening sky outside

He would have to instruct his uncle to send Hector back to America soon, and as for Kendra, this time, he would make her understand the consequences of challenging him

After dinner, Natalia prepared a bath for Magnus, and once he was clean, she gave him a half–hour massage
