Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

-Andi-

One second, I was turning away from him, telling myself to breathe, telling myself this night was never and I had waved a and the next, Beckett’s hand was around my wrist, a warm cuff that pulled me back and spun my world like a top he midd play.

I landed flat on his chest. The sound that left my mouth was barely a sound at all, cut off the mutant his lips Trand men

For a second, it felt like it was a test. His lips were there, just pressed against mine, as if he were giving a chance and run to safety.

I wanted to do that, but my treacherous body moved on its own accord. My hands were secured flat on hu chest bas heartbeat pulsed against my palms, and I melted onto him like butter tossed in a heated pan.

Holy shit! This was a remake of the ice cream shop, only this time it had a much sharper and hotter ending

When I didn’t pull back, that’s when a groan rumbled from his chest, and he started owning my lips. It want gentle as

It wasn’t rough either. It was urgent, like something he’d been holding back for far too long finally broke free. His moth was

warm, familiar in a way that made no sense, and my brain simply jumped off the building and ran away.

For a heartbeat, I froze. This wasn’t my first kiss, but I was still reeling over the fact that my boss was kissing me Really kissing me!

And then my perfidious body continued to do what it really wanted since the ice cream shop. Kiss him back.

I clutched his shirt, not to push him away, but to steady myself. His heartbeat was wildly mirroring mine. The kiss deepened -not because he pushed, but because I leaned in without even realizing it. Like gravity had shifted, like this was where I was always meant to fall.

Everything was heightened. The faint taste of salt and sweetness. The way his breath stuttered when I moved. The way has thumb brushed my skin was calming and dizzying at the same time, like he needed to touch me or he’d lose it.

I’d been kissed before, but not like this. This was terrifying, overwhelming, and confusing in the worst, most mincang way. It felt like standing at the edge of a cliff with no safety harness. If I fall, it will be either water that catches meos rodo that shatter me completely.

The world moved at Beckett’s command. His hand coiled around my waist as he maneuvered us, then I felt the cold, rough wall behind me. It’s like he can’t get enough of this kiss, as he would also melt into a puddle if he didn’t push me against the wall. He angled his mouth, his tongue invading mine, tasting, sucking, ruining me for other men

The sounds that rolled out of me were out of this world. Fireworks flickered behind my eyelids as I looped my hand around his neck, begging him to give me more. Goodness, I wanted more! And that was when he pulled away

He moved so quickly that our lips made a loud plucking sound that echoed through the estate. We were both gasping hit at Both shocked and surprised, but Beckett looked like he had been burned by my touch.

My lips tingling, my breath coming in shallow gasps as if I’d just surfaced from deep water. I stared up at him, my viskut murky, trying to understand what had just happened.

Beckett looked torn, wrecked.

His jaw was tight, his eyes dark and unreadable, his chest rising and falling as if he’d just run miles. For one impossible second, I thought he might kiss me again.

“This shouldn’t have happened,” he ground out, like he was confessing to a crime. Then he stepped back, moving farther than necessary, and my stomach caved.

“Goodnight, Andi,” he said, voice rough, like it hurt to force the words out.

And then he turned and walked away, seizing my dignity and pride with him. He left me standing there with my heart in pieces and my mouth still shaped to a memory of his kiss. His rejection hit harder than Carter’s, like I was some vit he shouldn’t have touched.

The slam of his door woke me from my trance. Only then did embarrassment hit me, like a hot knife piercing my chest

What the hell was that?

I pressed my fingers to my lips. The stupid part of my body was still warm, still tingling, and the turmoil only twisted u something hotter. Anger. Humiliation. Hurt.

He kissed me, and then he left as if I’d poisoned him. Like I was a mistake he needed to escape before it ruined hum

My legs felt shaky as I turned toward the pool house, every step unsteady. By the time I reached my room, the adrenaline had drained out of me completely. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring into the dimness of the room as my tears started to roll down my cheeks.

I choked back a sob. I was trying my best to control it, but I was in so much pain that even crying couldn’t relieve it

I cried into my hands, my chest aching with embarrassment, sadness, fear, and resentment. I never should’ve let hope bloom in my chest in the first place; now everything good I have has been ruined because of that kiss.

There was no going back to normal after that. No pretending tomorrow that we were just boss and maid, that we didn’t cro a line. Yes, I was in it too because I kissed him back. I would flinch every time he looked at me. I would remember his mout every time he spoke my name.

And worse, I actually wanted him to kiss me. That realization scared me more than anything else.

Staying here wasn’t an option anymore. That kiss didn’t just blur boundaries–it obliterated them. And I couldn’t afford to lose this job, not for my family, not for myself. I couldn’t afford to fall for my boss, especially one who kissed me and ran like I was the one who ruined his innocence.

I moved like a zombie as I packed my things. The room slowly lost any sign that I’d ever lived there. With each item, something inside me hardened, and I was bracing myself for impact.

I didn’t own much, so I was done within minutes. When I finished, I sat at the small desk and stared at a blank sheet of

paper.

My hands shook as I wrote my resignation letter, along with a promise to return every penny in excess from my salary. I didn’t want him to contact me about that. I’d rather not hear his voice at all.

When I sealed the envelope and my backpack hanging on my shoulder, I went inside the mansion, feeling something break inside me. My chest felt hollow as I placed the envelope on the kitchen island. I walked out before I changed my mind

I called Siobhan with trembling fingers, my voice barely steady when she answered. She didn’t ask what had happened. She didn’t need to. One look at my face when she arrived was enough.

She drove without question, without judgment, like she understood this was a rescue mission. She didn’t even ask me where I wanted to go. She allowed me to stay in her guest room again. Siobhan had been a lifesaver since I met her, and I don’t

even know how to thank her.

So in the morning, after no sleep at all, I made breakfast for her, muscle memory guiding me while my inind replayed the

night over and over. By the time Siobhan came into the kitchen, rubbing sleep from her eyes, I was staring into a mug of coffee I hadn’t touched.

“So, wanna tell me what happened?” She asked as she sat on a barstool, her hair still a mess from sleep. I told her everything It felt like my chest would explode if I didn’t. When I finished, she just stared at me, speechless. She opened her mouth to say a piece of her mind, but then her phone rang.

She looked at the screen, and her eyes widened. My heart dropped to my stomach. The look on her face told me it was my boss who was calling her.

“It’s Beckett,” she said quietly.
