Chapter 230
Tears sprang to Sarah’s eyes. “Zachary! What are you doing?”
Did you want to
He whispered against her ear, his voice icy, “Why didn’t you tell me? Couldn’t you even make one phone call? Did
leave me?”
Sarah looked at him, helpless but determined. “No, I don’t want to go.”
Zachary released her and walked to the bed.
Sarah sighed with relief, moving to sit on the edge of the bed, her emotions in turmoil.
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
Sarah turned away, whispering, “I was afraid I’d cry.”
Without seeing him, she could be strong and brave, fearless,
But one look at him made her want to depend on him completely. She wasn’t even sure she could follow her cousin’s wishes
anymore
Zachary held her tight, breathing in the fresh scent of her hair, unsure whether to smile or maintain his stern expression.
Finally, his cold facade cracked. Seeing her lips still red from his earlier kiss, he leaned in again.
Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck, heat rising from her throat to her face until she was flushed like a lobster.
Feeling his own rising temperature and her trembling body, Zachary laid her on the bed before turning toward the bathroom. I’m going to shower,” he said softly.
Sarah buried herself under the covers as the sound of running water drifted from the bathroom
Minutes later, the water stopped.
Under the blanket, she could hear her heart pounding, each beat impossible to ignore.
Zachary emerged from the steamy bathroom, drying his hair, water droplets trailing down his lean torso.
He took one step and sensed something was off. His eyes narrowed dangerously, an invisible pressure filling the room
Spotting the small bump in the bed, he lifted the covers and slipped in beside Sarah, his hand stroking her back.
“We’re practically married Why so shy?”
As Sarah pulled the covers up, he pulled them down.
His eyes changed like a wolf catching sight of a rabbit, ready to devour her.
“Who’s married to who? Aren’t you worried my cousin will find out?” Sarah asked, blushing.
“Melvin’s not at the hotel. He’s busy Zachary’s voice was husky.
Sarah hesitated before answering, “How do you know? Should I call and check?”
Zachary paused, then laughed. “Are you sure?”
Sarah shook her head She was still caught up in the image of hun emerging from the shower. She’d never seen a man look so sexy after a shower his smile alone made her dizzy
While she was lost in thought, Zachary pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t do this again I was worried “God knew how panicked he’d been when Mia said she couldn’t find her.

“Did you come to take me away?” Sarah traced patterns on his chest.
“That was my plan initially. Not anymore”
Sarah looked at him curiously. “Why not?”
“III took you, you’d be torn between Melvin and me. I don’t want to put you in that position.” Zachary lowered his eyes, gently kissing her eyelids.
He wasn’t a teenager anymore, acting on impulse without consideration. He wanted to be with Sarah forever.
