I Was His Wife, Then His Widow, Then No One's But My Own novel Chapter 430

A playful, teasing glint sparked in Nora's eyes. She rose on her tiptoes, gently sliding his glasses off his face, and set them down on the bedside table.

Then, she hooked a slender finger into the knot of his tie, tugging him down slightly. Her lips hovered tantalizingly close to his ear as she whispered in a soft, sultry tone.

"Are you planning to hold back this time too?"

Xander's breath hitched violently. This stunning woman was officially his wife now, and the seductive gaze she was giving him shattered every ounce of his legendary self-control.

He leaned down, cupping the back of her head, and crashed his lips against hers.

The kiss carried the weight of endless restraint. He hauled her flush against his chest, holding her as though he wanted to fuse their bodies together.

Nora wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt as though she had been engulfed by a blazing inferno, a delicious heat melting her from the inside out.

His kisses trailed downwards from her lips, leaving a trail of scorching heat in their wake.

The thick, seductive tension completely saturated the room.

Their breathing grew ragged and chaotic. Xander swept Nora off her feet and laid her gently on the bed.

But just as they reached the tipping point, Xander abruptly stopped.

Nora had her eyes closed, but sensing his sudden pause, she fluttered them open. He was hovering above her, a faint sheen of sweat glistening on his forehead, his brow knitted in deep concentration.

Bathed in the silver moonlight, his sharp, handsome features actually looked a little flustered—a rare sight for the usually unflappable billionaire.
