Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1375

“I believe you.”

Luella nodded, a faint, approving smile curving her lips. “Don't worry, that seat is already yours.”

——

With that handled, Luella slipped quietly out of the Political Council building through the underground garage.

Needing to blow off some steam, she decided to hit a hotel.

She pushed open the door to the presidential suite. Just as she bent down to take off her shoes, a dark shadow materialized behind her.

Her survival instincts flared instantly, and she threw a vicious backward kick without hesitating.

Jimmie Tate instantly dodged, the toe of the girl’s shoe just barely grazing a lock of his hair.

“Jimmie?”

Recognizing the intruder, Luella stood frozen for a few seconds before launching herself at him with a delighted gasp. “What are you doing here? Am I dreaming?”

Jimmie caught her seamlessly, his arms locking around her as he brought his lips crashing down on hers.

The kiss was frantic and deeply demanding, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

It wasn't until he accidentally bit her lip, causing her to wince slightly with a soft furrow of her brows, that he finally pulled back.

Jimmie eased his hold, his eyes dark and impossibly soft. “Still think you're dreaming?”

“Nope.”

Luella shook her head, her arms wrapping tightly around his neck as she boldly flipped the script, taking the initiative to kiss him back.

Tangled in each other's embrace, they stumbled backward and fell onto the massive bed.

When they opened their eyes again, three hours had passed.

Luella was sprawled face-down on the mattress, so utterly exhausted she couldn't even bring herself to twitch a finger.

“I missed you.”

Jimmie leaned over, wrapping his arms around her waist as he pressed soft kisses to her earlobe. “I’ve been here for two days, but I didn't want to interrupt your work, so I held off on calling.”

Who knew this wildcat would willingly deliver herself right to his door today?

“What about you? Did you miss me?”

“A little.”

Luella rolled over to face him. Her cheeks were flushed a beautiful, enticing rosy pink that made a person want to bite them.

“Just a little?” Jimmie tapped her perfect nose, a low, sexy chuckle vibrating in his chest. “Luella, you were very enthusiastic earlier.”

“Shut up.”

Luella’s face burned hotter, and she buried her head under the covers.

“I won't tease you.”
