Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 379

I knew that I shouldn’t poke my nose into his business, but my body moved on my own. Without any sense of decency, I peered out from where I was hiding so that I could see them. The sight of a very tall woman dressed casually in a white tank top with blue jeans with her arm around Reiner’s neck as she pulled him into a close hug wasn’t exactly what I expected to see.

“You’re here super early,” Reiner said warmly as he returned her hug and stroked her hair.

No one had to tell me so because I already knew. This tall woman with long wavy brown hair, sun-kissed skin and a firm body must be Rachael, Reiner’s fiancée.

“I know! I’m not supposed to turn up here until dinner time, but I decided to drop by earlier to see you anyways. Guess luck is on my side. Honestly, I thought that you wouldn’t be home today, but I decided to try my luck anyways,” Rachael said sweetly before smiling up at Reiner.

“You could have called,” Reiner replied as he returned her smile.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Reiner speak in that tone before, so loving and full of care. Not to talk about the fact that they were still hugging each other as they spoke. Although I should have seen more than enough, I couldn’t peel my eyes from the beautiful couple.

“Then you wouldn’t be surprised to see me, would you?” Rachael asked teasingly.

“I guess you’re right about that,” Reiner replied as he continued to stroke her hair.

She started laughing before hugging him tighter, leaning her head against his chest. Reiner and Rachael, they looked so good together and they would probably make very good looking and very tall children. That thought made me want to burst out laughing at my own delusional thoughts. It all made sense now. I should leave as soon as possible.

I guess I was right all along. I was always in their way. The longer I stay here, the longer I’ll just be in their way. If I knew that they were so close, I would have moved out a long time ago. Now, how do I get out of here without running straight into the two lovebirds? I guess I could save Reiner the embarrassment of having to explain to his fiancée who I was.

That would be quite complicated. After all, who was I to him anyways?

“You wanted to show me something?” Reiner asked, his eyes still on Rachael’s smiling face.

“Yes. It’s in my car. Come with me…” she said as she took his hand in hers and pulled him along.
