Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Billionaire Is 331

Chapter 331 What's the Price for a Night?

I was still thinking about the Carlyns when Carter's demeanor abruptly shifted.

His expression hardened into his usual icy calm, exuding a quiet intensity that made my skin prickle. It had been some time since I'd seen him like this.

Quickly, I stood and looped my arm around his neck, trying to ease the tension. "I like mature, steady men like you, Carter. Whether you're brooding or cheerful, my feelings don't change. You're the only one I care about."

A flicker of warmth softened his features, and I felt myself relax.

Carter had grown up in an environment devoid of love, which left him with deep insecurities. He was always afraid I'd leave, or that my feelings might waver. I understood that fear.

That was a wound in his heart, one that couldn't heal overnight.

He had waited years for me, and I was determined to spend my life showing him he was worth it..

I wanted him to know I loved him for who he was-not out of obligation or pity, but because he truly captivated me.

Seeming to realize he'd been too harsh, Carter pulled me into his arms. "Sorry if I scared you earlier," he said gently.

I nestled against his chest. "I told you, I like every side of you-even when you're being tough. It's charming"

He smirked and flicked my nose lightly. "Such sweet talk. Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It's awful." I teased. "I think you should give me a massage, Honey."

He looked at me in surprise, "What did you just call me?"

I grinned. "Honey. We're married, so I get to call you that!"

Carter tilted my chin up and kissed me. "Chloe, you're playing with fire."

Eventually, we pulled apart, both of us slightly breathless. He stepped back reluctantly. "I'll check on the kitchen and make you some lemon tea. Stay put."

As I touched my flushed cheeks, I couldn't help but smile. He was such a thoughtful and caring man. L-used to think periods were just a hassle, especially during busy days when I couldn't avoid cold drinks. Luke often acted like an immature child, oblivious to things I didn't bring up.
