Chapter 170 Lovesickness
Their eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to slow. In Eric’s dark gaze, Hadley saw it–the unmistakable
pull of desire, deep and unwavering
His hand cupped her face, warm and slightly calloused, large enough to cover her delicate features entirely.
Hadley’s brows knit slightly, her full lips parting just enough, painted in a shade of red that made her look even more alluring.
A rush of heat surged through Eric, but he held himself steady, his voice low, coaxing, “Hadley… is this okay?
Hmm?”
Her long lashes fluttered as she lowered her gaze, a breath of hesitation before she finally nodded.
“Hmm.”
There was no more reason to hold back–no more space for doubt.
He had been waiting for this moment forever.
This was the difference between men and women–when a man wanted a woman, every fiber of his being demanded action. And right now, Eric wasn’t about to deny himself.
Without hesitation, he swept her into his arms, carrying her effortlessly out of the room. His strides were purposeful, his grip firm yet careful as he headed straight for the master bedroom.
The door swung open with a rough kick–yet when he set her down on the bed, it was with the utmost
gentleness.
He still remembered her resistance from before.
Carefully, he met her gaze, his voice quieter now. “If you’re scared… don’t force yourself.”
Hadley bit her lower lip, her fingers tightening slightly. Then, just as deliberately, she reached up, looping her
arms around his neck.
An invitation.
What man could resist that? Certainly not Eric.
He leaned in, the space between them vanishing.
He could feel it–she was still slightly tense, but compared to before, she had softened, her body no longer stiff with hesitation.
“Is this okay?”
He wasn’t rushing–he would ask as many times as it took.
