Chapter 157
Sophia was zoned out, and by the time she snapped back to reality, she instinctively tried to push him away. Her palm hadn’t even touched Brandon’s shoulder when he paused his kiss and locked eyes with her.
“Sophia, you’re obviously still under my spell, still craving me. Why the resistance?” he said, his deep voice growing raspier by the second.
“I dig abalone, I love to chow down on it, but it doesn’t mean I can afford the luxury. The two aren’t mutually exclusive,” Sophia said softly, looking into his eyes. “I like you, so I’m not repelled by you physically.

Brandon stared at her intently, “Is that really ‘liking’ me,

Sophia replied, “I’ll be happy for you.”
