Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Are You Feeling Alright

Collin’s gaze darkened in an instant, a surge of longing flickering beneath the surface like smoldering embers.

“Linsey, do you truly understand what you’re saying?” he asked.

After voicing her thoughts, Linsey felt a wave of relief wash over her. She steadied herself, her expression calm as she responded, “I’m your wife. It’s only natural I want to be here for you, isn’t it?”

There was something in her words, a quiet yearning for connection, that stirred within her as well.

Collin studied her, his eyes searching, his voice softer than before. “Are you sure? I won’t ask you for anything you’re not

ready for.”

Linsey’s cheeks flushed, but she stood firm, her resolve clear. “Yes, I’m sure. And I won’t look back.”

He took a steadying breath, then suddenly turned, moving with purpose. Before she could react, he gently pressed her back, his presence enveloping her, and a soft gasp escaped her lips.

His voice, low and intense, brushed against her ear. “I told you last night. I wouldn’t rush anything until you were fully healed. After all, I’m not some kind of monster.”

The memory of their misunderstanding last night flooded back, and a wave of embarrassment swept over her once again.

Then, with surprising tenderness, he cupped her cheek in his large hand, his touch warm against her skin.

“But now…” His voice deepened, and there was a hint of something unspoken. “I suppose I’ll have to break that promise.”

She lowered her gaze, her cheeks flushed with a soft, unmistakable shyness.

Collin watched her, his eyes lingering on her flustered expression. A strange sensation stirred deep within him.

Before long, their breaths came in sync, a quiet connection growing between them.

Linsey closed her eyes, and then, as if by instinct, she felt his long fingers gently threading through her hair, his touch tender and lingering.

The cool air outside blended with the warmth between them. Tentatively, Linsey reached out, her fingers brushing against him, only to pull back immediately, as if jolted by an electric shock.

A low, husky chuckle escaped him, his breath warm against her ear.

The heat between them flared, undeterred, and her body instinctively curled in response to the intensity.

She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders, anchoring herself to the overwhelming presence he exuded.

gaze.

His low, breathy moans lingered in the air, making Linsey glance at her palm in confusion. The warmth there grew, gradually intensifying, until it felt as though she could barely control it.

She had expected everything to be over quickly, but it wasn’t until an hour had passed that she found herself pushing Collin’s wheelchair toward the car parked at the entrance of the villa.

For some reason–though she couldn’t tell if it was her imagination–she couldn’t shake the lingering sensation of warmth, her hands and arms still faintly tingling.
