Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 607

Nora fell silent for a long time. "...No."

She was well past the age of needing her parents.

Even without them, she could live a perfectly good life.

More importantly...

She looked up at him, her dark eyes shimmering brightly. "I have you now. That's enough."

Hudson's breath hitched.

In the dimly lit room, his gaze inevitably fell on her soft, moist lips.

He had tasted them countless times. He knew exactly how intoxicatingly sweet they were.

Hudson stared at her deeply, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Nora was no longer naive; she recognized that predatory gaze perfectly.

Her breath caught in her throat, her chest feeling tight.

Just as she tried to turn her face away, Hudson had already hooked his fingers under her chin, capturing her lips in a deep, consuming kiss.

Everything that followed was as natural as breathing.

Nora was incredibly responsive tonight, as if she were pouring every unsettled emotion into the kiss.

Hudson was instantly set ablaze by her rare, desperate initiative. Stripped of all patience, he shoved the flimsy fabric of her robe aside and—

"Hudson!"

Nora gasped, startled by his rough intensity, crying out his name.

"Don't be scared, baby. We've done this so many times..."

The heavy mattress groaned in protest, the rhythmic sounds echoing deep into the night.

By the end, Nora was completely drained. She passed out from sheer exhaustion, sinking into a heavy, dreamless sleep before she could even process how tired she was.

Hudson carried her to the bathroom for a quick wash. She didn't stir once, her body soft and pliant against his chest.

She trusted him completely.

Hudson chuckled softly, carried her back to bed, and pulled the covers over her. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead before walking out onto the balcony.

The winter air in San Francisco was biting, the wind carrying a sharp chill.

Hudson leaned against the railing and pulled out his phone. His thumb hovered over the screen for a moment before he typed out a message and hit send.

[Look into Nora's biological parents.]

He didn't put the phone away immediately, staring at the words on the screen before finally shutting it off and gripping it tightly in his hand.

He couldn't stay by her side forever.
