Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 171

Victor arched an eyebrow in amused challenge.

Just as Isadora was about to open the car door, he slipped an arm around her slender waist and pulled her firmly onto his lap.

“Piggy Vaughan, you’re just going to leave like this?”

Isadora froze, suddenly hyperaware of Victor’s body beneath her. The closeness sent a jolt of nerves through her, and she was too startled to move.

“What else do you want?” she managed, voice barely above a whisper.

Victor’s lips brushed teasingly against her cheek, his breath hot against her ear. He let his fingers trace lightly over her skin before biting her earlobe—not gently, either.

“Ow!” she protested, her tone soft and petulant, more like a plea than a complaint. The sound made Victor’s body tense with desire.

He leaned in closer, his gaze smoldering. “If you don’t want to get hurt, you’d better behave.”

Maybe then she’d stop saying things that pissed him off.

Without another word, Victor turned her face toward him, his eyes dark and intense. He kissed her hard, possessive and unrestrained, claiming her lips with an urgency that stole her breath.

The familiar scent of him filled the car, saturating the air around her until she felt trapped—in the best possible way.

Isadora couldn’t help but lose herself in the searing heat of his kiss. At some point, her arms slipped around his neck, her body instinctively pressing closer, surrendering to the moment.

Victor’s deep, passionate kiss seemed to last forever, until the heat between them threatened to ignite into something more. Only then did he finally pull away, breathless.

He gently smoothed her hair. “If I didn’t have a flight later tonight, I’d be tempted to finish what we started right here.”

Isadora looked up at him, her eyes shining. “Business trip?”

Last time, Victor had cut a week’s business down to four days just to celebrate her birthday.

Now, there were still some follow-up issues at the Solstrand branch he had to handle.
