Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 236

Hudson Lancaster remained silent, his arms tightening slightly to pull Nora Reed closer. There was zero distance between them. Through the thin fabric of her swimsuit, she could clearly feel his body heat and the steady, powerful rhythm of his heartbeat. It sent a tremor straight to her core.

He lowered his head, his nose brushing hers. Their breaths tangled, his warm breath fanning her cheeks.
