Around the corner Quote by Layla Hagen

““natural in the world. It feels so good and safe, and perfect. I love everything about this: listening to his rhythmic heartbeats, feeling the heat of his body seep into mine. "Victoria," he says in a low voice. "Up there, we had a moment." "We did." "While I'm gone, don't forget that." He talks as if he has plans for us. For the first time, I allow myself to entertain that thought, pushing away any worry. What would it be like to let this man sweep me off my feet? To indulge in his kisses and his touch? "Stop making me swoon, Bennett." He hugs me tighter and I bury my nose in his neck—or try to, as he towers over me despite my heels. I want us to stay like this forever. But of course, his phone starts ringing again, forcing us apart. I hate this pesky reality taking me away from this wonderful man. Glancing at the screen, Christopher sets his jaw. "Answer the phone," I encourage him. "My car is just around the corner. I'm heading there." "I'll talk to you soon." His features relax as one corner of his mouth lifts in a smile. "And don't forget the moment."                               Chapter Fourteen Victoria””
