Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 167

“I did but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. Zak…he’s really just going to marry Annie in name only,” I explained the source of my frustration.

“And you find that sad, right?” Reiner said understandingly.

“Yes. He says she’s truly in love with him and doesn’t mind marrying him even if he doesn’t love her. She’s so optimistic. She believes that Zak will fall in love with her eventually after they get married,” I said as I felt my brows knitting together.

“However, you don’t think so…” Reiner said, accurately summarizing my thoughts.

“Zak only believes in love at first sight. If it doesn’t happen then, then it doesn’t happen…ever. Personally, I don’t know what I want. If he doesn’t love her, then they’ll both suffer, and Annie will probably suffer the most. But if he loves her then he’ll no longer be in love with me, right?” I voiced my thoughts out loud before laughing at how foolish and hypocritical I sounded. At times like these, I just plainly hated myself.

Reiner listened quietly as he continued playing with my hair before kissing it. I was sure he had many things he wanted to say but he was withholding his opinion.

“What do you think?” I asked as I turned my head around and glanced up at his face.

“Maybe you should just marry me…” Reiner said with a teasing smile.

If only that was possible…and an offer that was really on the table…

“Maybe I really should…” I replied teasingly.

I smiled up at him and our eyes locked. Suddenly, a new inspiration came over me as I leaned in to kiss his warm lips. I heard Reiner moan softly when I started sucking teasingly on his lips before I placed a hand on the side of his handsome face.

I leaned closer to him, pressing my breasts up against his hard chest as our kiss became more ardent and hotter. Our tongues teased each other’s lightly at first before Reiner thrusted his hot tongue aggressively into my eager mouth. I wrapped both my arms around his neck to pull him down closer to me as I kissed him back wildly. This was already enough to heat up my body and I felt myself getting wet with my desire for him.

I began buttoning his shirt while we continued to kiss. By the time I was able to remove his shirt completely from him, he was sucking my neck seductively. I felt his body tremble slightly as he moaned with pleasure when I ran my hands along the impressive muscles of his upper body before biting down on the tattoo on his shoulder.

“Turn around and sit still…” Reiner whispered into my ear as he turned my body around, so I sat with my back against his hard body.

“Ahhh…touch me more…” I pleaded shamelessly when I felt his large and hot hands grab my breasts and fondled them.
