When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 No More Holding Back

On the other side, Johnathan carried Sierra over and ran a hot bath for her.

“Take a good soak. Stop thinking about everything. You need to rest.”

He knew she needed to relax. Whenever she was around Kason, she was constantly on edge.

She hadn’t eaten much either. Just as Johnathan was about to make her something, Sierra grabbed his hand.

“Don’t go.”

Johnathan took a deep breath.

He had already been struggling the moment he put her in the bathtub,

But he had held himself back, knowing she wasn’t in the right state of mind.

Ever since the first time, he had been restraining himself. After her grandmother passed away, he knew she was grieving, so no matter how much he wanted her, he forced himself to stay in control.

But now, Sierra was the one teasing him.

His eyes darkened, flames flickering in them as he warned her in a low voice, “Don’t start something you can’t handle, or you’ll regret it later.”

“…Stay with me,” Sierra whispered.

She feared Johnathan’s intensity, but right now, that was exactly what she needed.

At this point, if he could still hold back, he wouldn’t be a man

Johnathan stripped in an instant, saying only one thing-

“Don’t cry later.

What followed was complete chaos.

The bathroom, the living room, every corner of the house bore the evidence of their passion.

This time, Johnathan didn’t hold back at all.

The first time, he had been careful because it was her first. Even though he hadn’t been fully satisfied, he had let her off easy.

But this time, Sierra was just as eager as he was

He knew she was using this to let go of everything weighing her down, so he was more than happy to oblige.

By the time she finally passed out, he, too, felt relieved after holding back for so long.

Only then did Johnathon start feeling human again.

Looking at the marks all over Sierra, for once, he felt a little guilty.

Clearing his throat, he got up and headed to the kitchen.

In the middle of the night, Sierra woke up hungry.

As soon as she moved, a deep voice beside her said, “You’re up?”

Half–asleep, Sierra blurted out, “No more.”

Johnathan was speechless.

Chapter 227 No More Holding Back

Did she think he was that much of a beast! That he wouldn’t even let her eat!

Shaking his head, he scooped her up from the bed.

“Relax Just food this time.”

A he spoke, he touched her stomach—it was too flat.

Goch, you he too skinny.

She was practically skin and bones.

Sierra didn’t know what he was thinking, but when she heard “food, her first instinct was to shake her head.

Seeing that she looked better, Johnathan said, “Stone contacted me. His people will investigate thoroughly. They have their ways–Kason won’t be able to run for long

“Good” Sierra nodded, then hesitated before asking. “What about Shane? Can we take him down too?”

That’s a lot harder, Johnathan admitted. “Shane has the Goodman family behind him. Unless we have solid, undeniable proof, it’ll be tough to do anything to him. But your move today was smart. Kason might just be our way in.”
