After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 332

All sense and self-control crumbled in that instant.

“Are you sure?” His voice was rough, almost a whisper.

Catherine didn’t bother with words. She stood on her tiptoes, her lips brushing his, hesitant but determined.

That kiss flipped a switch.

It was like unlocking a door they both knew they shouldn’t open.

Lawrence cupped her face, and all the longing he’d kept bottled up broke free. It felt wild, impossible to hold back any longer.

With one hand, he held the back of her head, deepening the kiss, taking charge. The other arm slid around her, lifting her effortlessly as he carried her toward the bedroom.

Catherine kissed him back, her hands tangled in his shirt. She fumbled with his buttons, nervous and excited all at once.

Their breaths merged, the air between them heating up fast.

“I should shower,” Lawrence blurted out, suddenly remembering.

He moved to get up, but Catherine looped her arms around his neck, her voice soft and teasing. “Don’t go.”

She didn’t care. Honestly, she loved his scent. He smelled like fresh cedar and something warm and masculine that made her heart race and her cheeks burn.

Lawrence let out a low, husky laugh. She was definitely in a hurry.

He kissed her gently, treating her like something precious, something irreplaceable.

Outside, the night was dark and quiet. Inside, the room felt like it was burning.

Time blurred and faded away before everything finally settled down.

Catherine lay in Lawrence’s arms, her skin still damp with sweat. Her eyes were closed, her cheeks flushed, her whole body relaxed and glowing with happiness.

Lawrence pressed a kiss to her forehead, then slipped out to grab a warm towel from the bathroom to help her clean up.

When he was done, he took a quick shower, then crawled back into bed. He pulled Catherine against his chest, closed his eyes, and let himself drift off beside her.
