Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 He looked at her , his decision firm like a man who had lost everything and was throwing away his last hope .

He was betting that Sienna , deep down , held a place for him in her heart .

He left Sienna with no choice .

She nodded as she stood on her tiptoes .

I will Her soft , warm lips brushed against his lips in a quick , light kiss .

Yet the little spark could ignite a big flame .

Josiah quickly pulled her close , holding her tightly as if he wanted her to become part of him .

Then , he opened his mouth .

It wasnt just a kiss it was a bite .

Sienna winced and frowned .

Josiah , that hurts Josiah gripped the back of her head , releasing her as he gasped for air .

Seeing her swollen lips made him feel a bit sorry .

He lifted his hand , gently stroking her lips .

Sorry He had lost control .

His forehead pressed against hers , his hands cradling her cheeks , his voice low and a bit threatening .

You kissed me , and now you cant leave me ? He kissed her again .

1 gave you the chance to leave , but you didnt take it Now , you cant regret it Sienna leaned against him , shaking her head .

I dont want to regret … Just those words made Josiah feel like he had won far more than he had lost .

His heart , which had been almost withering from disappointment , suddenly blossomed with hope .

His hands caressed her face , supporting her stubbornness .

Alright , since youre sincere , Ill forgive what happened tonight .

Sienna smiled softly .

Thank you ah ! He suddenly lifted her up , her feet barely touched the ground .

She clung to his shoulder as he put on a serious face .

Get serious Oh Sienna mimicked his serious expression , still holding onto his shoulder .

Josiah raised an eyebrow , feeling pleased .

I let you go but you chose to stay with me this time .

This isnt a case of me forcing you to stay : youre choosing to stay with me voluntarily .

Is that right ? Sienna could only nod in agreement .

Josials mood lifted even more .

To be honest , you were not entirely being forced to stay with me , right ? He thought , she had such a perfect chance tonight why wouldnt she leave ? She must have feelings for me .

But maybe her feelings arent strong enough : even her roommate could take her away from me ! Wait .

I Im a man why should I be petty with my own girlfriend ? Sienna , he said , holding her up as he looked into her eyes .

Ill make you love me even more .

Will you believe me ? Josiahs eyes were clear , as if he could see right into her soul .

Sienna felt a moment of panic but managed to smile .

Ill wait and see .

Not quite an answer , but a response nonetheless .

They shared a night full of passion .

The next day , Sienna woke up around eleven oclock .

She pushed off Josiahs arm around her waist and got out of bed to take a shower .

When she came out , Josiah was already awake .

As she brushed her hair in front of the mirror , he came out of the bathroom after his shower .

Oh , I almost forgot, he said , going out to get something Sienna was puzzled .

Josiah went to the garage : he had left a gift for her in the car the day before when he was angry .

He came back with a small box in his hand and placed it on the dresser in front of Sienna Open it and take a look , he said .

What is it Sienna put down the brush and opened the box .
