When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 228

“You really don’t know when to stop, do you?”

Dorothea’s cheeks were on fire. “You’re ridiculous. Let go of me or I’m leaving. Seriously, I’m going.”

“Don’t go.” Latham finally stopped teasing her. He pressed his cheek gently against hers, his voice barely above a whisper. “Isn’t the night view beautiful?”

The city was soaked in darkness. Neon lights painted the sky a soft, dreamy rose-gray.

Suddenly, a firework exploded outside, lighting up the night in a burst of color.

Dorothea’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Latham, look! Fireworks!”

He smiled. “Do you like them? I arranged this just for you. To celebrate our first official day together.”

She turned to him, surprised. She hadn’t expected him to think of everything.

A small smile played on her lips. “It’s beautiful.”

He leaned closer. “You confessed first today, but Dorothea, I’ll always love you a little more.”

She only needed to take the lead this once. From now on, every step would be his to take.

Outside the window, fireworks burst in quick flashes, then slowed to a gentle rhythm.

Dorothea’s ears burned. Her fingertips pressed into his back, leaving tiny crescent marks on his skin.

A soft moan escaped her, barely audible over the noise outside. Her brows drew together as she tried to hold back.

With her eyes closed, her long lashes cast delicate shadows on her cheeks. Her lips were flushed and inviting.

When the tension finally left her body, she felt like she might melt right into the sheets. Every nerve tingled, waves of sensation crashing over her again and again.

In the blur of it all, she thought she heard his voice, clear and certain. “I love you.”

Dorothea was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open. She melted into the bed, every muscle relaxed.
