The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 247

Sophia's eyes widened with a hint of struggle.

"If you're into it too, why not live it up while we've got the chance?"

His voice dropped to a low, seductive purr.

For a moment, Sophia wavered. She never played the martyr; every choice was a heart's call.

Whether it was getting intimate with Brandon for the first time, deciding to marry him, choosing divorce, or even last night's surrender - each time, she followed her gut.

Under the spell of this self-pep talk, she mustered a reckless courage. After all, as Brandon said, opportunities like this came once in a lifetime - might as well drink when the bar was open.

Being single, neither of them had any moral shackles of betrayal to worry about. This devil-may-care bravery made her ditch all reservations and awkwardness, pulling Brandon's neck down for a bold kiss.

Their lips met, igniting all the smoldering desires.

Brandon cradled her head, flipping the script, pushing her against the wall with a rough and intense urgency that bordered on reckless abandon.

The re-tied sash fluttered to the floor, blown into the room by the wind from outside. They didn't care, their kisses deepened, tangled, letting desire overrule their senses once more.

Outside, the wind and rain continued their wild symphony. The howling storm only fueled the tenacity and heat of their entanglement.

The doorbell rang with the arrival of room service, the meal delivery awaited. The pressing sound was audible to both, but neither stopped, entwined like beasts, tearing at each other, lost in indulgence.

This wanton abandon went on intermittently until the skies cleared the next day.

They slept when tired, ate when hungry, and the rest of the time was unbridled indulgence. Sophia and Brandon had never gone this wild before. Her natural reserve and his innate cool-headedness meant they always kept a lid on things.
