Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 157

With two days left until her expected period, Mikayla was taken aback to find it arriving unexpectedly early this month. Uncertain of the time passing, she laid on the bed, awaiting Carlos to emerge from the bathroom.

Carlos stepped out, a towel wrapped around his lower body; he exuded a cool, composed demeanor, his expression finally returning to its usual calm state. His robust upper body unveiled, along with his healthy, attractive sun-kissed skin, perfectly toned chest and abs. Water droplets trickled down. He lifted a corner of the blanket and slipped into the bed. Mikayla felt a chill emanating from him. Obviously, he'd taken a cold shower. "Carlos, you doing okay?" Mikayla peered up at him.

"I'm good! Just get some shut-eye; I'll keep you warm." As he embraced her, she couldn't help but shiver in his arms.

Turning toward Carlos, she saw his lengthy, thick eyelashes accentuating his slender, intense eyes, resulting in a captivating profile. "Or maybe, I should help you?" Mikayla nibbled her lip, as though contemplating a huge decision. Time with Juliet had exposed her to such topics. She marveled at how Juliet discussed them with zest.

Surprise flickered in Carlos's eyes. He gently kissed her forehead. "Just rest! How many days until your period?"

"Five days!" Mikayla met Carlos's tender gaze, a tinge of regret creeping in.

"Get some good sleep. After five days, I won't hold back! It's a date after five days, game on!" he declared.

With their faces inches apart, his warm breath caressed her face, creating uneasy warmth. Mikayla nodded at his words, signaling agreement. Over time, as Carlos flirted with her, her emotions shifted, her body harmonizing with his instinctively! She eagerly anticipated that forthcoming moment. While the timing was not perfect. Carlos nuzzled against her neck, their breaths gradually syncing.

Mikayla delved into a dream-an intensely passionate dream with Carlos. In this reverie,
