Royal Ceo by Seerat Kaur (superbooks4u TXT) 📗

      "What did you say?" I asked. My chest felt heavy to me suddenly. My heart was running. I stood gawping at him, my mouth open and a stunned expression on my face.  

      "You heard me right, hon. I love you." He flashed a warm smile and leaned in to kiss my head. 

      My nails dug deep as I grasped his arms, "I would kill you if it was a prank." I scolded him. 

      He threw his head back on the roar of laughter. He was still carrying my weight, "I have seen you struggling with your feelings. I know you love me." He whispered, his nose nudging the side of my face. 

      I closed my eyes, "I feel for you. I like you. But dude, I don't know... love." I said. 

      He pulled me in a bear hug, "You have unlimited time. Just don't go away. I can't endure. You're the love of my life." He whispered in my ear.   

      Goodness! It felt so good to be in the ring of his arms. I enveloped my arms around his torso.

      It wasn't farce when he tightened his arm taking me in a choking hug, "Edward," I whispered. 

      He looked down at me. His eyes were full of happiness. 

      "No one is going to steal me away from you. You're choking me," I muttered. 

      He loosened his arms but didn't free me. I could see the happiness on his face.
