Chapter 127: Sara’s Confession ll
Our lips collided, a messy clash of heat and urgency, her kiss pulling me in despite the chaos in my head. My hands found her shoulders, gripping the soft fabric of her bridal gown, and I broke away, my breath ragged.
"Ahh.." My eyes, wide with shock a moment ago, softened as I looked at her, trying to make sense of the storm she’d just unleashed. "Sara, what are you saying?" I asked, my voice rough, confusion swirling in my chest.
Her eyes shimmered, catching the glow of the vanity lights, a new intensity burning in them. "The truth, Ezra," she said, her voice steady but raw. "The truth."
I shook my head, my hands still on her shoulders, holding her at arm’s length. "But... what? Why? Why now?" I stammered, my mind scrambling to keep up. "You’re literally about to get married, Sara. This is insane."
She stepped closer, her hands reaching up to cup my face, her fingers warm against my cheeks. Her touch was gentle but deliberate, and I couldn’t look away from the vulnerability in her eyes.
"I’ve been watching you for years," she said softly, her voice trembling. "Since you were in high school, probably. Back when you were just this scrappy kid with too much attitude. But you never looked at me, not really. Your eyes were always on Aeri, and I knew I’d never stand a chance. So I... I tried to let you go." Her hands slid down, trailing over my chest, then lower, brushing against my stomach and pausing at my groin, her fingers grazing my dick in a way that sent a jolt through my body.
"Ahm..." I sucked in a breath, a faint heat stirring as her soft hands moved with purpose, rubbing gently over my jeans. My body reacted, a hardness building despite the shock of her words still sinking in.
"Then I saw you at the brothel," she continued, her voice dropping to a whisper, her fingers still teasing, slow and deliberate. "And I realized I couldn’t let you go. Not completely. Not like that."
I frowned, trying to focus through the haze she was creating. "Then why blackmail me?" I asked, my voice sharp with frustration. "Why all the games, Sara? Why not just be honest?"
