Chapter 39 The Encounter at the Airport

I gasped and closed my eyes while bracing for the impact. But the next second, I felt my body embraced and almost drifting.

I could hear gasps and applause while I trembled. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the arms of a

tall man, wrapped in his firm, masculine presence.
