There was tension in Charlotte’s head as her body froze and became rigid.
Her well-endowed but petite stature snuggled within Joseph’s chest. Her eyes reflected her fear with a furrowed brow. She could hear her own heartbeat as she battled her nerves. His tee-shirt was soaked by beads of sweat that rolled down her long eyelashes. They fluttered and brushed against Joseph’s like wipers on a car.
Unable to differentiate fear from nervousness, her breath became hot and heavy.
Joseph’s heartbeat quickened, and his lower abdomen started to swell with adrenalin.
In front of him was a clueless Lochlan who stood there motionlessly.
An impetuous Joseph stared at Lochlan, and he felt a sense of unwarranted frustration towards him. “My sister? Is there something I should know?”
“I would like to see you, if that’s alright with you? I... she looks like someone I knew in the past.” Lochlan could not sense the exasperation within Joseph’s voice. His thoughts and attention were all on Charlotte.
Charlotte wrapped her tiny arms around Joseph’s waist instinctively. Her hands groped his well-defined abs, which were a testament to his lower body’s vigor.
Chiseled and packed tightly, just like a chocolate bar.
She acted on impulse, and before she knew it, she had thrown herself into Joseph’s arms and caught him by surprise.
It felt like his heart leapt out his chest.
Damn it!
What is with this surge of adrenalin?
Have I been without the warm embrace of a woman far too long?
He was baffled and astonished at how such a petite little lady had stirred up his emotions. His testosterones were off the charts, and it drove him crazy.
Her soft hands gently caressed his abdominal muscles as they glided over them like water over ice cubes.
Those tiny fingers were soft and plump like cotton candy oozing with sweet goodness.
Charlotte was not aware of the provocative signals she sent out, which made the situationmuch more dangerous.
Lochlan noticed Joseph’s hesitation and asked again, “May I see her?”
Exasperated, Joseph shot him a dirty look. “Sorry Mr. Lochlan, but no. What do you take my sister for? She’s not at your beck and call.”
