Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 653

Chapter 653: 653-His Lost Love And The Stolen Embrace.

Helanie:

"You brought me back to life just so you could kill me in the worst way possible. And now you’re complaining that I’ve changed?" The cold tone he used broke my heart into a million pieces.

"Go back to your husband, Helanie. I’m fine," he said, turning around and walking away while drinking from the bottle he held so gently in his hand.

"I loved you," I said, and he stopped.

"But things happened," I added, and he turned around and let out a laugh.

"You’ve moved on, that’s what happened. I don’t agree with what Kaye said about you accepting Norman back then. But it’s also true that it hurt me a lot. It hurt knowing I was forcing my curse on you. But Helanie, I told you once to move on if I ever forgot you. To live a good life if I lost my memories. But you were the one who gave me hope. You said you would stay with me and help me remember you. I guess, a curse really is a toxic burden. Anyway, I’m happy for you," he said and lifted the bottle to his mouth when I interrupted him.

"So it was all my fault then?" I asked, and he lowered the bottle.

"No," he replied.

"Then why does it feel like you’re still angry with me? I was dealing with a lot at the time. And when I heard you had chosen to spend the night thinking about your lost love I realized maybe you weren’t ready for me," my voice broke again, and I noticed his fists clench.

"You need to understand that I was hurt too. I was angry too. I was relying on you, and I was ready to let it go until I—until I found out it was Azura you chose over me that night. That hurt me too," I said, pointing at my chest. I noticed him turning to face me again.

"I know–" he looked guilty now that I was pouring my heart out.

"No, you don’t. Or else you wouldn’t keep blaming me for that night over and over.

The reason we parted ways was because I realized you were in two boats at once, and my boat was already sinking. I needed someone who could steady it," I mumbled, big tears running down my cheeks.

"And I failed you," he said, closing his eyes, then quickly stepping toward me.

"But I continued to love you, even when I couldn’t ever show it—"

I stopped talking the moment he put his hand on the back of my head and pulled me in for a kiss.

Our lips met with force, and he took my breath away just like that. He placed both hands under my cheeks and tilted his head, his lips sucking my bottom lip while I sucked on his upper lip. My hands clung to his coat in tight fists, my eyes closed just like his.

He tasted so good, his tongue was so delicious that the moment it entered my mouth, I started sucking on it deeply.

"Mmmm," I moaned when he sucked my tongue. As our bodies started to heat up, loud screams erupted in the air and both of us paused for a moment—

Our tongues still in each other’s mouths.
