Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 94

Nora pressed her lips together, her eyes dropping to his tightly clenched fist.

For some reason, her heart softened.

"If I kiss you... you won't take the medicine?"

Hudson froze for a second.

He hadn't expected her to actually consider it.

He had only meant to tease her, wanting to see her glare at him with flushed cheeks. He never really thought she would agree.

But here she was, standing right in front of him, her ears bright red, her eyelashes fluttering like a timid little animal peeking out of its burrow—terrified, yet bravely reaching out.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

"Yeah."

Nora bit her lower lip as if making a monumental decision.

Then, she rose onto her tiptoes and cupped his face with both hands.

Hudson's entire body went rigid.

Her palms were warm and soft against his cool cheeks, like two tiny heaters slowly transferring their warmth into his skin.

She tilted her head up and pressed a fleeting kiss to his lips.

It was incredibly soft.

Like a feather brushing the surface of the water, blown away by the wind before it could even create a ripple.

Yet that impossibly light touch was enough to completely shatter his control.

He had never imagined that a simple graze of her lips could make him lose his mind like this.

Her lips were incredibly soft, carrying the faint, sweet scent of peach from the fruit tea she had just been drinking.

Sweet.

Hudson's breathing instantly grew ragged and heavy.

Just as Nora tried to step back, a large hand clamped onto the back of her neck.

"Hud—"

Before she could even finish saying his name, he crushed his mouth against hers.

It wasn't a gentle peck like before.

It was a real, devouring kiss.

It carried the desperate force of something repressed for too long finally finding an outlet—fierce, urgent, and all-consuming, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

The kiss left Nora completely weak in the knees, her hands instinctively grabbing fistfuls of his shirt just to stay upright.
