You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 2064: The Beginning of Internal Strife

Luther heard the noise coming from the stairs. He recognized Joyce's footsteps, and his previously suppressed heart suddenly began to race. Not wanting to cause any commotion outside, he waited patiently. She had told him to wait for her, so he kept waiting.

As soon as Joyce opened the door, her wrist was firmly grasped, and in the next second, she was pulled into a familiar embrace. The familiar scent, the comforting feeling, the warm body temperature- everything she had longed for day and night was right there. She knew it was him.

As she fell into his arms, the door behind them closed with a click. At that moment, the string in Joyce's heart seemed to snap. She couldn't help but cry softly, her hands pressed against his chest. "I missed you so much."

Luther held her tightly, his arms wrapping around her more and more. Even then, it felt unreal to him. He was really holding her; it wasn't a dream.

"Joyce, is it really you? Is it really you?"

He repeatedly asked for confirmation, wanting a definite answer.

Joyce nodded vigorously in his embrace. "It's me. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. Grayson, he..."

Her self-reproach was interrupted by his passionate kiss.

The kiss was long and urgent but filled with warmth and longing. He kissed her deeply until he could be sure that she was indeed in his arms at that moment, being kissed by him. Only then did his frantic heartbeat gradually calm down as he slowly released her.

Initially pressing her against the door, he now picked her up and carried her to the sofa. They embraced each other tightly.

His lips lingered on her cheeks as he spoke in a low, magnetic voice, "Do you know how worried I was? Thank goodness you're okay. Thank goodness I came."

Joyce panted lightly. "I didn't finish what I was saying earlier. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have saved Grayson. I never thought he was the crown prince. I brought a wolf into our home because of my overconfidence. Even though I sensed danger, I wanted to investigate further, thinking I could handle it. But I didn't expect..."

Luther placed his long finger on her lips. "Don't say that; it will make me feel even more guilty. It's not your fault. If we must assign blame, it's all my fault. Without Athena, Clint wouldn't have known about you o targeted you. The fault lies with me for letting my guard down after the wedding, giving him an opportunity."
