The Runaway Groom novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

It was only then that Irene suddenly remembered that Isaac was an investor in Mark‘s business, and it was natural that he would be present today.

She massaged her temples. How could she have forgotten about that?

“Get over here!” Isaac barked over the phone.

“Got it,” she said, and put away the phone while telling the man with glasses, “I‘m sorry, but I have something else to do– I have to go.”

With that, she hurried to the car waiting by the road, but just as she reached the handle for the rear door, Isaac snapped, “Ride shotgun.”

Irene reluctantly got in the front passenger seat, and she barely sat down when Isaac asked impatiently, “Can‘t you quit messing around, Irene Spencer?”

Irene frowned, thinking once again that he was crazy.

How was she messing around? How did she manage to upset him again?

Putting on her seatbelt , she simply said, “Please don‘t create an argument out of nothing.”

Then, she smiled and asked, “Can you let go of me now? I need to get out.”

Isaac suddenly lowered his gaze at her fresh, alluring lips. Remembering the confidence and elegance she showed while she played the piano, he leaned forward and kissed her.

Caught by surprise, Irene tried to resist when she came to her senses. “Let me go-”

Isaac simply caught her wrists and stopped her from moving, while putting more weight behind the kiss to stop her from talking. At the same time, his skin reached beneath her skirt…
