Chapter 137

Sophia totally spaced out for a second there.

Brandon didn’t give her a chance to react. Slipping his long fingers into her hair and applying just a touch of pressure, Sophia was compelled to tilt her head back. Brandon’s lips and tongue claimed hers with a gentle yet dominant force that left no room for refusal.

The hand Sophia had initially pushed against his chest suddenly went limp and a bit flustered.”

Brandon’s kisses grew hotter and deeper, their heavy breathing sounding through the dark room as their embrace spiraled out of control. The hand in her hair grew restless, tightening its grip, while the hand on Sophia’s waist began to curl uncontrollably.

Sophia could distinctly feel her shirt tightening across her back, her slender waist arching as his kisses deepened.

The hand that was supposed to push him away was now, somehow, hooked around his neck..

What started as an unconscious closeness turned into a wildfire.

Their entwined kisses evolved into a devouring feast.

Brandon’s kisses wandered from her lips to her sensitive neck, his hands, now out of control, slipped beneath her clothes just as the door suddenly swung open.

The two, locked in their unrestrained kiss, froze abruptly.

Brandon flipped over to lie flat on his back, while Sophia awkwardly turned away, panting in short breaths.

The nurse came in to check on the room, remembering only at the door that she had just removed Sophia’s IV earlier. After making sure Sophia was alright and giving some advice, she left.

The room fell silent once more.

So quiet they could hear their still uneven breathing, a mess laced with intimacy, reminding each other of the earlier lack of control.

Sophia didn’t make a sound.

Neither did Brandon.

As their breathing gradually steadied, Sophia heard Brandon’s husky voice. “Let’s get some sleep.”
