Chapter 142: Shatter Me
(ARLO)
"We need to wait until you heal." Miles says.
"I really don’t want to, but yeah. I guess it makes sense." I kiss his sexy chest and watch his full lips, and a frustrating sexual urge gnaws at me. He is so sexy but in a thuggish way. I can’t believe that I’m into him, and never seem to get enough of him. He shoots me a dark, sensual glance, and my whole body throbs.
"So, you still want to go through with the wedding as scheduled?" He asks in a guarded gruff tone.
There was a time I’d have sworn that he was hinting at not wanting to go through with the wedding. But right now, I’m beginning to understand him. Miles is a closed person because of how he was raised. He trusts Sasha with his life, but other than Sasha, I doubt he has let down his guard with anyone else. Maybe ever.
I feel my chest twinge as I watch him. His face is more familiar than ever. It’s like I have known him forever. The emotions I feel for him now are all raw and new. I’ve never loved anyone quite like this before. Of course, there are people that I have my fair share of enjoyment with, but it’s all different with Miles. My feelings for him permeate my soul.
I stifle my pride and say, "I can’t wait for Saturday."
He gazes at me. I feel that all his fear and desire have mingled into one feeling. He looks down, and his thick dark lashes flutter over his eyes. My guess is he is hiding his emotions. "Sasha will be happy that you finally agreed."
"And you?" I ask quietly.
