Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1162

"In the lake you went diving in last time."

The moment the words left her mouth, Seth's breathing caught again.

He had guessed as much.

But hearing her say it out loud still ripped open that old wound, slicing perfectly into the scar.

He didn't let the sharp pang of agony show.

Instead, he lowered his head and captured her lips.

It wasn't a demand, nor was it meant to comfort. It felt more like a confirmation.

Using the heat of their shared breath to confirm that the woman in his arms was real and warm.

Noreen hugged him back, her fingers digging into the fabric of his coat like she was clinging to a lifeline.

The empty space in her heart that had been vacant for five years was now being filled at an almost painful speed.

Desperate and reckless. She pressed herself against him.

Outside the car window, the early spring night breeze still carried the lingering chill of winter.

But inside the enclosed space of the vehicle, there was nothing but their tangled breaths.

Like two currents that had drifted in the dark for far too long, finally converging into the same body of water.

His kiss carried unspeakable emotions—fierce and ravenous.

He kissed Noreen until she was gasping for air, only releasing her lips to trail kisses down to her flushed earlobe and her delicate, bare shoulder.

She tilted her head back to meet him, slipping her fingers past the collar of his coat to trace the heated skin of his neck.

The darkness veiled their sight, leaving their senses hyper-aware.

Her blood raced, a flushed hue coloring her cheeks.

Her fingers blindly clutched the front of his shirt, bunching the fabric in her palm.

She could feel his heart hammering heavy and frantic against his ribs, its rhythm gradually syncing with her own.

"Seth..."

Turning her head, her lips brushed his jawline as a helpless, passionate sound slipped from her throat.

Seth kissed the base of her ear, waiting until she was completely swept up in the moment to ask, "Do you want it?"

She was panting too hard to form words.

Both her eyelashes and her body were trembling.
