No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 425

Finally, her wish was about to come true. Clara’s heart felt like it was enveloped in honey, each throb sending out ripples of sweetness.

Ian could no longer control his emotions. He dipped his head to capture the tender, sweet lips before him. His hand gently wove through her hair, cradling the back of her head, as he deepened the kiss with each passing moment.

The couple, having weathered many storms and separations, had come back together at last. Their excitement was palpable and impossible to conceal.

It was only after an eternity that Ian could bring himself to pull away. He peppered Clara’s face with featherlight kisses, his voice husky with desire. “Honey, last night was so hectic. We missed our wedding night. Tonight, I’m going to make it up to you.”

Clara’s cheeks flushed as she stared at him. “Isn’t the wedding night supposed to be the day of the ceremony?”

“Getting our marriage license counts too. By the time we have the ceremony, it’ll be safer for you, and I can make love with you properly.”

He emphasized a particular phrase, making Clara’s cheeks burn even hotter. She pushed him away. Her eyes reddened with mock anger. “You’re being so cheeky. I could accuse you of harassment.”

“Flirting with my own wife is just marital fun, not harassment. Attorney Clara, have you forgotten all the laws and regulations after a few days off?”

Their playful banter was interrupted by a low chuckle from behind. Clara instantly pushed Ian away and turned to see Greta standing in the doorway, arms crossed, a mischievous grin on her face.

Greta clicked her tongue in amusement. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, can’t you two get a room for your public displays of affection? It’s broad daylight, you know.”

Ian wrapped Clara back into his embrace, unfazed. “It’s your own fault for being single. You can’t blame us.”

“Look at you, all smug. Is getting hitched really something to grin about until your smile reach your ears?”

“Of course, it is. The joy between us is something you, perpetually single, would never understand.”
