Brandon ! Noelle recognized him instantly.
Even though they hadnt seen each other in nearly a decade, those deep emerald eyes s were unforgettable. Delighted, Noelle ran straight into his arms.
Brandon ! Brandon, Brandon, Brandon! Youre finally here! I missed you so much! Brandons lips curved into a smile as he opened his arms, catching her as she leapt up and wrapped herself around his neck like an excited child.
His arms instinctively wrapped around her slender waist much slimmer than hed anticipated.
Though hed seen her physical data countless times, holding her in person made her feel even more delicate. A soft, precious thing.
He gently pulled her back just enough to see her face, brushing a hand against her cheek, his voice tender. Have you been well here, Noelle Mm hmm, she nodded with a bright smile.
Tve been so happy.
I have a dad and a mom now, a bunch of brothers and even a future sister in law ! Then, remembering something, she grabbed his hand and turned to introduce someone.

Totally harmless! Brandon let Noelle clasp his hand as his eyes moved to Elsie .
His emerald gaze grew thoughtful as he murmured.

There would be plenty of tlater, Elsie, however, didnt seem as thrilled to see Brandon.
She didnt run up or even smile just stood there watching him with wary eyes.
He had the samne aura as her and Noelle ... but something about him felt dangerous.
Noticing Elsies hesitation, Noelle took a step toward her to check what was wrong but before she could move far , Brandon caught her hand.

Shed been planning to head to Nicolass place.
Brandon tilted his head, eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
Oh? Got plans? Sensing he wasnt too fond of Nicolas, Noelle treaded carefully.
Well I was going going to visit Nicola Brandon kept smiling, but there was an unmistakable edge to it Seems I cat the wrong tthen.
Noelle, now somewhat versed in social curs, suddenly felt a up her spine.
That smile of his didnt feel friendly at all.
She scrambled to make amends No, no its fine! I can see Nicolas later.
Since youre here, III take you to meet my family first.
You sure? I wouldnt ant to intrude, Brandon replied gently.

Logic told her she shouldnt say what cnext, but she said it anyway.
Nicolas toldnot to get too close to other men ... since Im his fiancée, I should keep a certain distance. Brandons expression darkened slightly, cutting her off.
You really listen to him, dont you? He fixed her with a sharp, possessive stare, voice low and firm.
But you belong to me.
I can do anything I want with you.
Letting you stay close to him is already my bottom line.
And now he wants to dictate my actions too? Isnt that getting things backwards, Noelle ? What do you think? Youre right, she said quietly, dropping her head.
Im sorry, Brandon.
Please dont be mad.
The way she shrank back made Brandon laugh softly.
He crouched slightly to meet her eyes, caressing her cheek with exaggerated gentleness.
Why do you look so scared of me? Im not angry, Noelle.

Of course, he said warmly.
