Chapter 233 I Am Possessive

Matteo suddenly stopped, pulling back as a realization hit him. He hadn’t asked the most important question of all. “Do you want me too, ma douce?” he asked, his ragged breath filling the space between them. Emily scanned his face, searching for something, her heart pounding. She felt something she had never felt before. When she was with Tomas, she was young and naive, mistaking kind words and good looks for love. But after everything she had sacrificed and the hard lessons life had taught her, she finally understood what real love meant. To her dismay, no man had ever truly cared what she wanted. Until now. Matteo, this man in front of her, was willing to wait until she said yes. That realization sent a wave of longing through her—she wanted to confess how badly and desperately she desired him, but something held her back.
