The Runaway Groom

Irene only shoved at him briefly before responding in kind.

They were soon stuck together like glue and pulling away briefly only seemed to send their passion blaring!

She felt soft and limp, just as she asked, "How did you send Zachary back to Zidonia?"

Isaac caressed her cheek just then, brushing her hair behind her ear. "Work. He's been here for a while anyway, so it's time he returned.” Still, Isaac had a feeling that Zachary knew about Lulu but never told him directly.

He was only too happy to go back to Zidonia when Isaac told him to— he would have asked something if he did not know or leave so quickly. Irene closed her eyes drowsily then. “I'm going to sleep now."

Isaac gently patted her back.
