Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 275

Hudson stared at her flushed, shy expression, his heart hammering heavily against his ribs.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in a gym, he would have pulled her right back into it...

But deeper than the surging wave of desire was an overwhelming instinct to cherish her.

He rested his forehead against hers, his voice dropping low, their breaths mixing. "Are you hungry?"

"...Yeah." Nora buried her face back into his chest, her voice muffled. "Starving."

And she was.

She hadn't eaten breakfast.

The moment she finished the call with Arthur, she had grabbed her keys and rushed out the door.

Then, she'd spent the last few hours dealing with all of... this.

Her stomach was practically touching her spine.

"What do you want to eat?" Hudson asked.

Nora thought for a moment before the name of a small eatery popped into her head.

"Caldwell's Bistro."

Hudson arched an eyebrow, clearly having never heard of the place.

"Alright. Lead the way."

Nora lifted her chin with a proud smile. "My treat today."

Hudson let out a low chuckle, raising a hand to affectionately ruffle her hair, his voice warm and impossibly fond.

"Okay."

...

Caldwell's Bistro was tucked away in an old alley in the Old South End.

The street was too narrow for the car, so Arthur parked at the corner while Hudson took Nora's hand and they walked the rest of the way.

The cobblestone street was uneven, flanked by drab, gray buildings with large patches of peeling paint exposing the blackened brick beneath.
