As he held her in his arms, Azriel couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and overwhelming happiness.
Olivia was equally shocked.
Did he just confess to her?
She meant everything to him?
Olivia didn't know how to feel. Whether happy or surprised.
Olivia remained perfectly still, allowing Azriel to envelop her in a tight embrace. In that moment, she attempted to find her voice, but he quickly hushed her, his words dripping with urgency,
"Oh, please, Olivia, don't utter a single word. Just let me hold you, please."
Relenting, she agreed, her lips sealed shut. They stayed entwined for what felt like an eternity, basking in the warmth of their connection, before he reluctantly pulled away, his gaze fixated on her. As his intense, crimson orbs met her own, her heart fluttered uncontrollably.
How she had missed those mesmerizing eyes of his!
