Me And My Billionaire Husband (Aurora and Heath) novel Chapter 223

Now, as Aurora sat admiring the sketch, Heath fondly recalled her demure, adorable presence beside him during the day.

Heath, without a word, strode over and toppled Aurora, capturing her lips in a kiss.

Aurora froze. What was with this man, suddenly pouncing and nipping at her at every turn?

She struggled briefly, pounding on Heath’s shoulders, only to have her wrists caught and lifted above her head.

Heath’s breath tangled with hers, his large hand caressing her waist, the fresh scent of his shower enveloping her, every cell within her crying out for more.

But Heath couldn’t give in. To him, Aurora was both poison and treasure. He guarded her cautiously, fearing any harm might befall her, not wanting to frighten or upset her.

He felt a pang of frustration, turning to nibble on her earlobe. Aurora, sensitive in that spot, couldn’t hold back a soft moan. Heath tensed, burying his face in the crook of her neck, his voice husky, “Rory.”

“Mmm… Aurora curled up in his embrace, daring not to move.

“Rory,” Heath’s voice was deep and magnetic, mesmerizing as he called her name.

“Mmm,” came Aurora’s tiny, mosquito–like response.

“My self–control is really quite limited,” Heath admitted.

Aurora: “…”

What was she supposed to do with that? She was innocent in all this!

“So, Heath continued, “hurry up and deal with those things. Don’t make me wait too long.”

Aurora let out a small ‘Oh,” remaining curled up, silent and still.

Heath pinched her waist and rose, heading to the bathroom for a cold shower. He came out, took a blanket, and went to sleep outside.

Staying any longer with this tantalizing girl, he wasn’t sure when he’d lose control and devour her completely.

Aurora, blissfully unburdened by guilt, monopolized the entire bed, sleeping soundly.

The next day, Aurora woke up groggily, turning over to touch a hard surface. She moved closer, familiar scents invading her nose. Opening her eyes, she saw Heath’s magnified handsome face.

She was lying on Heath’s arm, his hand resting on her waist. Feeling her stiffness, Heath opened his eyes, his voice raspy, “Awake?”

Aurora was stunned. Why was he speaking as if this was normal??

Had she dreamt last night’s scene of Heath leaving to sleep elsewhere? When did he sneak into her bed?

Chapter 223

“Heath?‘ Aurora poked him, asking, “Why are you here?”

As a

‘I missed you, couldn’t sleep,” Heath flipped over her, his posture protective. The girl, just woken, looked dazed like a kitten, adorable and charming.

He leaned down, capturing her soft lips. Aurora pushed him away, murmuring, “Haven’t… brushed teeth.”

Heath chuckled lowly, “Doesn’t matter, I don’t mind.”

Their kiss was long and lingering, Heath’s expertise, coupled with his wandering hands, left Aurora breathless.

When Heath finally released her, Aurora’s eyes were wet, a hint of reproach in them. He turned over, pulling her into his arms, kissing her forehead, “Rory, when will it end?”

“I don’t know…” Aurora clutched at Heath’s collar, steadying her breath.

She didn’t know when her war with Isabella would end, nor when she could avenge herself and live peacefully as Aurora.

The war seemed endless. She was far from even grazing Isabella’s shadow, without a sliver of chance at victory.

Heath kissed her mouth gently, “Rory, tell me, and I’ll help you.”

Aurora looked up, meeting Heath’s gaze. His eyes were focused, earnest. She knew Heath genuinely wanted to help her, but she didn’t want his assistance, didn’t want him tangled in these affairs, didn’t want a day when Dominic sent someone for her and Heath had to take a bullet for her.

Turning away, Aurora faced her back to Heath, shaking her head, “No need, I can handle it myself.”

Heath pulled her into his embrace, Aurora curling up, her back pressed against his chest, fitting perfectly.

Heath sighed, “Remember, we have a year–long agreement. You’ll have to tell me eventually.”

Aurora nodded, her voice muffled, “I know.”

Heath led her to wash up and have breakfast, both seemingly forgetting their morning conversation.
