Isaac raised a brow and slowly pried Irene's fingers off his collar before pressing her palm over his chest. "I know you have steady hands, but could you bear to take my heart?"
Irene stiffened, not about to back down. "Why wouldn't I? You're going to cheat on me."
"Then you can have my heart right now," he breathed as he wormed his other arm around her waist and pulled firmly, pressing her against himself.
Then, leaning in to breathe into her ear, he added, "Along with all that I am."

Shyly lowering her gaze, she pouted. "Don't try to entice me and think this is over…"
Isaac continued to nuzzle her ear. "Well, what did I do?"
"That woman—"
"Were we having sex?" he asked, cutting her short.
Irene was speechless but answered, "Nope."
She was just being paranoid and certainly did not see them getting intimate.
She trusted him from the bottom of her heart—it was not easy for them to get together after all they had been through.
However, relationships and feelings change, and she had to be wary—she refused to let her marriage end up a mess like her mother's!
She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently kissed him on the lips. "If you don't love me anymore, you have to tell—"
He pressed his lips over hers before she could finish, and he kissed her so deeply she flushed from asphyxiation.
She gently shoved him in reflex. "Slow down…"
