A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 804

John went to kiss Cordy right then, but she turned away just as their lips touched.

He felt as if something clawed through his heart, but she reminded him, "You're not single yet."

John closed his eyes, restraining himself as much as he could.

She really knew how to turn him away.

With a retort like that, even if he wanted to flip out, there was no way he could do anything out of line towards her.

Damn it!

She had a leash over him, asserting full control even before they started dating.

Nonetheless, he released her.

The instant he did, his lips inadvertently brushed against her ear.

It was a slight touch, but a jolt of electricity seemed to shoot through his body, and he felt himself turning into jelly…

John swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling repeatedly.

So this was hell.

As he moved a few steps away from Cordy, he saw that her face was red, as if it was bleeding.

Even so, he restrained himself and said, "I'll talk to Nana tomorrow and clear up everything."

"Yeah."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

"Cordy?" he suddenly called out to her.

"What is it?"

"I love you."

Cordy flushed all the way to her ears, surprised that John would declare his love so formally.
