Chapter 86. Lust & Desire (1)

RENEE

As Robert’s lips plunged into mine, our tongues clashed, bodies collided, and my heart exploded with emotion.

He was kissing me. This man who was the absolute love of my life. My soulmate. My all. My everything.

He was my nemesis. Someone I claimed to despise with a zeal that could incinerate anything in its path, and he’d hurt me so much that I'd vowed never to forgive him.

I'd told myself a thousand times that we'd never be together again, but now he was kissing me. And fuck, if I didn't like it.

Hell, I wanted this. Damn it! I wanted him even more desperately now.

As his hands caressed, my hair and the kiss deepened, my knees weakened, and my brain began to shut down. 

Everything softened within me, and I melted into him, craving his warmth. His touch. His love. 

This should have been a romantic moment—after all, we were kissing after days and weeks apart. It ought to have meant something. But it didn't.
