Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605

Chapter 605 Andrew unexpectedly felt a wet sensation on his hand .

For a brief moment , a wave of desire threatened to consume him , but just as quickly , his unwavering self- discipline took over , and he stopped himself .

Are you okay ? Did I hurt you ? Andrew asked softly , withdrawing his hand and planting a gentle kiss on Laurens forehead .

Youre so annoying ! Lauren pouted , playfully hitting Andrews chest with her delicate fist .

Her legs still felt weak , and a strange sensation lingered in the center of her being a feeling shed never experienced before .

It was unfamiliar but irresistibly enticing .

Andrew chuckled apologetically .

Maybe its because I finally let go of some old emotional baggage .

I couldnt help myself .

If you werent ready , I wouldnt have done anything to push you .

Laurens heart swelled with joy .

Andrews desire for her , his willingness to claim her entirely , meant that she was now the only woman in his heart .

The shadow of the past her rival , Christina was now completely gone .

Yet , when she thought about taking the next step with Andrew , a wave of nervousness swept over her .

She felt shy , even a little scared at the thought of doing something so intimate .

Lowering her gaze , Lauren looked incredibly enchanting at that moment .

Her flushed cheeks , silky hair framing her face , and a strand playfully brushing against the corner of her lips all combined to create an irresistible allure .

The slight bite of her lower lip and the dazed look in her eyes from the earlier intimacy only added to her captivating charm .

And if I said yes … would you want me ? Lauren murmured impulsively , her voice barely audible , like the buzz of a summer breeze .

Andrew froze for a moment , then exhaled a warm breath that made Laurens heart race uncontrollably .

If youre willing , then Ill be ready whenever , wherever .

You just have to say the word .

Andrew leaned closer , his smile full of mischief .
