Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 93

How embarrassing!

Lyman’s gaze suddenly grew intense, his eyes burning as he gripped her hand tightly. His voice was low and rough. “Effie, are you sure?”

Effie nodded, nervous but certain. She didn’t want to run away anymore.

Lyman didn’t say another word. He simply pulled her gently into his arms and kissed her.

His warm breath brushed against her neck, sending a shiver of tingling electricity through her.

His kiss was both gentle and hungry, laced with a longing that had been held back for too long.

Effie’s heart pounded, her hands instinctively finding his shoulders as she melted into his embrace.

Their breaths mingled, the air between them thick with anticipation.

Lyman’s hand traced the curve of her back, his fingertips radiating heat through the thin fabric of her shirt, making her shiver uncontrollably.

Her mind went blissfully blank. All she could feel was this man and the storm of emotions he brought with him.

“Effie…” Lyman whispered her name, his forehead pressed to hers, his breath uneven. “You’re really sure you won’t regret this?”

She looked up and met his gaze—those deep, gentle eyes full of hope.

Effie bit her lip and shook her head. “I won’t… We’re married. This is how it’s supposed to be.”

A slow smile tugged at Lyman’s lips. He kissed her again, harder this time, as if he wanted to draw her completely into his world.

The intensity left Effie dizzy, her body turning to jelly as she leaned into him, letting him lead her.

His hands slid down to her waist, and with a gentle but firm touch, he scooped her up in his arms.

Effie gave a startled gasp, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his chest, too flustered to look at him.

“Lyman…” she whispered, her voice trembling with nerves.
