Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 651

A Total Stranger 

Owen shook her head and answered immediately, ‘No, I have not seen him

Kira wasn’t surprised 

She had gotten the same answer so many times, she was no longer disappointed 

I see. Sorry to have bothered you. I’ll see myself out

She opened the door

And walked straight into a man who was just on his way in 

The two collided

hit her nose on the man’s broad, muscular chest

she caught a whiff of his cologne

Something citrusy 

The man’s low vole in her like a bolt of lightning

It was the voice in het dreams

Kina, don’t cry” 

That was the last thing he said to her four years ago

He was shot, bleeding, in pain, and falling into the river that would carry him far, far away

But he wasn’t armed about himsel 

He loww she would cry

He knew she would be heartbroken

He spent his last bit of energy comforting her

Kira, don’t cry.” 

Kira heard his voor every time she closed her eyes

Now the same voice told her, Excuseme

ira’s mind snapped back to the present

The man had strolled past her into the ward

Kia whicled around 

He was walking up to Gwen, who 

Ther 

got up trim the hospital bed and threw herself into his amms

man lowered his head and sed Owen’s forehead

Then he whispered something in her ear 

Kira’s gave moved up to his face

The eyes hooded by long, thick lashes, the high and straight nose bridge, the thin lips habitually passed tightly together, the sharply defined jawline. It was Austyn’s face

But those eyes were staring lovingly at another woman 

Those lips had just planted a kiss on anther woman

That low, baritone, reassuring voice was uttering sweet nothings to another woma 

Kirs couldn’t tear her eyes away from his face

Austyn she muttered

The man moved like Austyn, smelled like him, look like him and talked like him 

Kita knew in her beam of heams that it was Aust 

It was the man she had bestandlung for over the past four years 

She walked up to him in a date 

Miss Hewitt!” 

Owen’s irate voice jerked her back to reality

She looked down and realised he’d placed a hand on the man’s 

He was staring at her ith displeasure will large on his handsome, cleanshaven face

His bere knitted

A familia furrow appeared in the middle of forehead

Kila open 

He took a step back, keeping his distance from Kira

Then he turned to Gwen. I didn’t know you have a twin sister‘ 

Kira and Gwen shared a lot more than just a passing resemblance

I don’t!Gwen said hurriedly. She’s not.. She’s..” 

Gwen fumbled for words

Kira stared down at her hand

Then she took another, more careful look at Austyn’s face

His eyes were cold

They showed no signs of recognition

He didn’t know who she was 

That realisation hit Kira like a ton of bricks

She staggered backwards

AAustyn

The man narrowed his eyes. Are you talking to me?” 

You don’t..you don’t recognise me?” 

Have we met before?’ He examined her face. ‘I have no recollection of you.” 

Kira heard blood pounding in her ears 

What was happening

He didn’t recognise her

Had she made a mistake

Was this man just another lookalike

No. 

Kira shook her head

She was a hundred percent sure that he was Austyn McCarthy

It wasn’t just the face

His height, his gait, his mannerisms, the way he talked, the way he sized up a stranger… 

It was Austyn

But why didn’t he recognise her

Gwen finally got her voice back 

She gently drew Austyn to the side and whispered something to him

He nodded

Then Owen came up to Kira, gesturing towards the door

Miss Hewitt, can I have a word?” 

followed her out of the room like an automaton 

Gwen was talking a and gesticulating 

All Kira heard was an indistinct buzzing sound

Her mind was still whirling

she couldn’t shake of the way Austyn looked at her just now
