Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 375

It felt like every cell in my body had been activated, and a deep, indescribable longing started to grow within me.

It made me feel ashamed if I wasn't a good woman.

When I was with Chris, I never had this kind of impulse or desire.

Even when we had stripped down, all I felt was nervousness and nothing like the intense need I was feeling now.

It seemed that being with Brandon had made me wild and even a little wicked.

I eagerly sought out Brandon's lips, but he pulled away. I hooked my arm around his neck and called his name in a breathless whisper, "Brandon..."

My voice sounded almost like I was crying.

I had never experienced anything like this before, and it shocked me.

But I couldn't control myself. The urge inside me was so strong that I didn't want to hold back, and maybe, deep down, I didn't want to.

With Brandon, I could always let out my most primal instincts.

"Brandon…" I called out to him again as my lips found their way across his face in desperate kisses.

His other hand gripped the back of my neck. His voice was low and hoarse. He was breathing heavily. "Mae, wait. Let's go home."

But I didn't want to wait.

The desire and pleasure I felt were fleeting, and if we waited, they would disappear.

Yet, I knew we were outside, in a parking lot. If someone passed by, they would see us.

Logic finally won over impulse. I let out all the pent-up desire on Brandon's ear and neck, biting down hard before I stopped moving.

He didn't move either but tightened his grip around my waist until it felt like we were about to melt into each other.

We stood for a long time before he loosened his hold on me, opened the car door, and helped me inside.

By then, my impulse had faded, leaving only a weak, shaky feeling and the embarrassment of not being able to meet Brandon's eyes.

I guessed that was why people preferred to turn off the lights during intimate moments. It was because the darkness could hide the awkwardness.

I curled up in the seat, closed my eyes, and started the car. But before I could drive off, Brandon leaned over and kissed my forehead. "That was my fault."
