All Chapters of Reawakened By His Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

His lips crash gently into mine and I allow him to claim me as his. I was right, his lips are softer than cotton. The intimacy we are sharing right now makes me feel so lightheaded. My heart is beating so fast against my rib cage.We finally break the kiss and the both of us stare into each other’s eyes. His eyes are full of desire and passion, causing me to bite my bottom lip softly by instinct.“That was perfect,” He whispers, and I giggle.He then relaxes on the couch by retiring from his upright sitting position and laying back.“I don’t want you to go back to America,” His words swirl in my mind, and for a second, I contemplate on not going. But I know all that is just a fantasy, I could never be brave enough to disobey my parents, though I wish I was.“That’s not your decision, and apparently not mine,” I say in a breathy way while sighing.We sit in silence for a few minutes as the horror film plays on the TV; it actually feels calming and not awkward.Just sitting here with Ch

“Hello?” Comes the voice through the phone. It is a guy and he sounds vaguely familiar.All the words disappear from my mind and I don’t know what to say in response. I just didn’t think someone would answer, let alone a real person, and not a machine with a message asking for money in exchange for information.“Hello?” The guy says again, and I clear my throat, preparing to reply as confident as I can.“This is Chris Kingston, may I know whom I am speaking with?” My voice manages to sound strong and confident.“Oh,” The guy replies as he chuckles.“It’s Jason Pace from the company, I am the one that wants to buy in as a senior partner,” He says in a totally normal tone; as if he did not send me a message about my wife being alive.“Is this about the meeting that your secretary set up for us? It’s three days from now,” He informs me, while I try to understand what the hell is happening.Does this guy think he can disrespect my wife and expect a pat on the back? “Jason Pace, right?” I

As I squeeze my purse, I can feel my pistol tucked in it, but I make no attempt to take it out. I don’t have the luxury of time, if I try to make any sudden moves, Violet will by no means hesitate to shoot me dead.Especially considering that I am not on her good side.“You wanted to talk, drop the weapon down, and let’s do just that,” I say boldly to her, and she smirks as she lowers her gun. I then sit on one of the three couches.If only she can see how my legs are shaking right now under this dress. When that gun was held at me, my throat went dry as the sand on a very hot and sunny day.She walks up to me and sits right next to me on the couch.“You’re looking very good for someone who just came from the dead,” I joke to try to lighten the mood, but even I know that jokes are not going to get me out of this.“You tried to have me killed, why?” She asks me. She still has her gun in her hand, but now she is holding it loosely as if it is a toy.“She wanted to take your place, to be

***Linda Wells’ POV***“That was amazing,” Chris says as he puts his pants on. He has a very cheerful grin on his face and seeing it makes me smile too.He is right, that was out of this world.I just had sex with Chris freaking Kingston! A man that my heart is falling for with each passing second. It was just euphoric, and I can’t get the images out of my head, not that I even wanted to. I never thought that I would be able to get over Mitch, but I am glad that I am gradually doing so. Too bad, this might be the last time I see Chris, let alone allow him to hold me in his arms. I would be on a plane with my brother flying back to America in an hour or two. “It was not bad,” I joke, and he rolls his eyes playfully.I have already put my clothes back on, I am now brushing my hair so it won’t be obvious that I just had sex when I walk out the door.Chris has his pants on and is now buttoning up his shirt.“You know it’s f*cked up, right?” He says when he has fully dressed. We are now

***Linda Wells’ POV***“Yeah, I’m not talking to Mitch,” I tell Ben as he holds the phone in his hand.He places the phone back to his ear and tells my message to Mitch. After a few seconds, he ends the call and puts the phone in his pocket.“What did he say?” I inquire.“Well…are you sure you would like to hear me tell you?” He fires a question to me without answering mine.“Spit it out, Ben,” I reply to him.The plane shakes a bit due to turbulence, causing my heart to skip a beat. I love flying but I definitely do not like the turbulence that comes with it.“He said that he won’t force you to speak to him, but you would eventually have to, considering that you are going to be his wife,” Ben explains to me, and I squeeze my hands shut as a way to control the anger that I feel.“Are you okay? You look like you want to kill someone,” Ben says to me as he chuckles nervously.“I’m fine,” I breathe out a sigh and I turn my attention to the view from the plane window.In a few hours, we l
