Carter's voice had never felt so captivating and alluring before, sending a shiver through my ears and a warmth spreading across my hands.

Yet, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, gentle and soothing as he whispered, "Darling, unbutton my shirt"

In the dim light, I could barely make out the shape and placement of the buttons. Following his command like an obedient student, I carefully unfastened them one at a time. Nervously, I bit my lip and asked, "What should I do now?"

"Come sit on my lap," he instructed.

My face flushed as I moved to straddle his waist, waiting for his next words.

Carter remained silent, but his hand rested on my shoulder.

His fingers traced the straps of my camisole, sending jolts of sensation through me. I bit my lip, feeling a soft shiver where his touch lingered. "Carl."

He ceased his teasing, and his fingers slid down the straps.

Though barely visible in the dark, I could sense his gaze on me, making me feel overwhelmingly shy despite the shadows hiding my form. "Darling, come closer."

I gradually moved closer until our bodies were aligned a rush of warmth spreading from my spine to my head.

Carter pulled me into his embrace and kissed me with a deep intensity.

"Carl...

"Chloe, my love."

This time, I was fully aware of everything happening.

When I woke up the next morning, the memories of the previous night made my cheeks heat up. Carter was no longer beside me, and I was wrapped in a blanket, feeling the cool air against my bare skin. We hadn't gone all the way, but it was a new experience for me, and even now, thinking back, my face flushed, and my heart beat faster.

As I got up to freshen up, I noticed the marks scattered across my body, causing me to blush once more.
