The Runaway Groom

Chapter 74

Isaac was perfectly aware of how fair Irene’s skin was, but it was only now that he realized how tender and smooth it was to the touch.

It felt as if a feather brushed against his heart—he craved that sensation.

He became obsessed with that sensation.

At the same time, Irene’s eyes widened in astonishment, her pupils dilating.

Unable to free herself from his restraint, she steeled herself and bit his lips!

Isaac’s grip loosened from the pain, and she seized the moment to push him away.

Glaring at him, she snapped, “What are you doing, Isaac Jefferson?! What do you take me for, some whore who spreads her legs for every man she meets?”

Isaac held her gaze with a distant look. “Isn’t that exactly what you are?”

Irene almost slapped him across the face right then, but she stopped herself.
