Chapter 58 : Safe in His Arms

*Henry*

Mae sat on the window sill, looking out at the twilight sky. She was wearing thin, short-shorts with a light and semi-see-through top. Her hair was down and wild; it shone beautifully in the fading light of the sky.

Henry stood in the doorway just staring at her for a moment, soaking in her beauty. He wondered how long she had been sitting here alone and when April left.

He took in a sharp breath and tried to prepare himself for the worst. He wasn’t sure what had happened, but he knew it couldn’t be good.

He walked carefully across the room, keeping his footsteps light. Mae didn’t seem to notice him at all. He worried for a moment that something might be seriously wrong–worse than he originally thought.

Henry pulled her hair up into a ponytail in his hands and kissed her neck lightly. She tilted her head, letting him have access to more of her shoulder and down her chest. He gripped her stomach tightly, pulling her closer to him.
