Chapter 568:

Kristopher ignored her protests, his hand reaching between her legs. Her anger and humiliation burned fiercely, but her body betrayed her, responding to the heat of his touch despite her mind’s objections. He kicked the door shut, carried her to the sofa, and laid her down gently. Yet there was an urgency in his actions, a frantic kind of devotion. “I don’t care if we have children or not,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. “I love you, Carrie. Just you. Nothing else matters.”

He had never told her he loved her except in front of others. The first time he said it was during a family gathering. With one hand still restraining her, he unbuttoned his pants with the other. Carrie’s body tensed as he thrust into her, his face buried in her neck, his lips tracing gentle kisses along her collarbones.

Tonight, however, felt like torture—a battle between her mind and her body’s betrayal, leaving her feeling almost violated. Kristopher was lost in his desire, moving with a fervent desperation, as though this was the only way he knew to prove his love. He had never been so afraid of losing someone.

He had never been this anxious—not even when Carrie had threatened him with divorce. He was desperate to prove his love, to show he didn’t care whether she could have children or not. He simply loved her, simply wanted her.
