Chapter 157

• I was so hurt. So damn hurt. And so weakened that all I could do was to simply come upstairs and be left alone with my thoughts. The door to the bedroom swung open and Neil’s tall form stepped in, closing the door behind him. His blue eyes searched around the room and came to rest on me, a cute smile slowly appearing on his face.
• I tried to smile back but I could only manage a tiny twitch of my lips. He really did look so happy to have me back home. “Hey, beautiful. It feels so good to walk in here and the first thing I see is you.” He said sensually, moving forward to place his laptop on the edge of the bed.
• “I’m happy to be back home too.” I said softly, as Chase wriggled away from me and bounded over to paw at Neil’s legs, letting out eager, deep and loud barks. He patted Chase’s head and moved away from him, shrugging off his white shirt to reveal toned and manly back muscles. He tugged the shirt over his head, tousling his blond hair slightly before tossing it into the laundry basket in a corner.
