Hellbound With You novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 Wicked

Those words were like the rainbow appearing after the hurricane attack. It was hope. It was progress. He froze for a moment, contemplating whether he should celebrate or just end himself. But he immediately realized his proposal might have come too early. She was finally asking him to hold her and it made his heart almost burst out from his chest.

It was so unexpected. She was so wicked. She made him beg so many times and tortured him to the brink of destruction for this, just for her to ask him to hold her as he was about to break. He wished he could say 'no' to get back at her but goddamnit! How the hell could he?!! She was finally making a move. She was finally asking for something for him to hold her. Sure, in terms of progress, this definitely felt like it was moving at a snail's pace, but it was still progress! And there was no way he would turn that down.

Before Alex could ask again to make sure he wasn't hallucinating, Abi pulled him back into her embrace and hugged him tightly. Alex's heart thumped inside his chest as he made himself comfortable on the bed. He lay next to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, around her body and he pulled her tightly to him.

Abi ended up with her head resting on his chest, an arm around his torso, listening to his rapid heartbeat. She let his warmth soak into her body and she felt that familiar feeling that she had longed for. It was the feeling of contentment, happiness and serenity. She was no longer on guard, on edge and it was the best feeling in the world to just let go of all that. It was the best feeling in the world to finally let herself feel the love she had for him and to let that feeling engulf her fully because she did. She loved this man with all of her heart and soul and nothing would ever change that.

Abi closed her eyes. She had really missed this. A small tear escaped from the corner of her eye but she didn't care. It felt so good that she couldn't help but cry away all the pain she bottled up inside her heart. Her tears started to flow silently.

Alex felt the warmth of her tears on his chest and he frowned. Why was the little lamb crying? Did he make her cry? Was it his fault?

Alex moved and he placed a finger under her chin and made her look up at him. Her eyes glistened from the tears that flowed from them and the sight tore at Alex's heart.

"Abigail, what's wrong?" he asked, now using her name.

Abi just shook her head, unable to form the words to explain what she was feeling at that moment.
