My earlier tugging had left Carter's shirt collar askew, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone..

Seeing him stand so tall and straight before me, I was struck by the length of his legs.

There wasn't a hint of anything amiss!

While I understood he must have had his reasons for this charade, a wave of annoyance washed over me.

I raised my foot and kicked his thigh. When his entire weight shifted to that leg. I could feel the solid, muscular strength beneath the fabric.

All those times I'd been so careful, afraid of hurting his pride, not daring to touch or even ask questions.

Even at night. I was so restrained that I only ever touched his upper body.

"Carter, you liar!"

He lifted my leg and hooked it around his waist, leaning in close so his body pressed against mine.

Chloe. I'm sorry. I had my reasons for doing this-I didn't mean to deceive you."

"You ve been pretending for so long, why not just keep the act up?"

His dark eyes burned with desire, his voice deep and husky, "Because... I want to be able to satisfy my darling even more."

The moment those words left his lips, my face turned bright red!

His voice carried a seductive tone as he murmured against my lips, "But this is our secret, alright? Darling, promise me you'll keep it for me, okay?"

He was so tall that even as I sat on the piano, he still had to bend down to talk to me.

From this angle, I could see the outline of his chest muscles through his shirt collar.

Coupled with his low, magnetic voice, my face grew even hotter, my heart pounding faster. I didn't have the strength to resist.

So I nodded obediently, "Fine."

Carter chuckled softly. "So sweet. Makes me want to keep you in my pocket.

+ muttered under my breath, "It's not like I'd stop you."

"But I feel like you're still too young, darling. If I force things, it'd be like plucking an unripe fruit"

No wonder he'd been able to stop himself last time..

I laughed, "Young? If you count both my lives, I could practically be your mother!"
