Love Trap: The Billionaire's Regret CH.155
The couple left the doctor’s office hand in hand.But as soon as they stepped outdoors, Karl sighed loudly in sheer frustration and raked his fingers through his tangled dark hair.Lavinia ignored him. She sat in silence, cradling the ultrasound photographs of their unborn child.She stared at the grainy black-and-white images with an expression of pure wonderment, her lips curved into a radiant smile at the overwhelming prospect of finally being able to see their precious baby for the very first time.Despite her normally calm demeanor, she could barely contain her happiness and excitement.The frown on Karl’s face moments ago vanished the at the sight of how happy his wife looked. He mirrored her joyful smile, his warm brown eyes crinkling at the corners.He found himself leaning over every few minutes to tenderly kiss Lavinia's hand, then her lips. He was equally thrilled at the thought of becoming a father and seeing that first glimpse of their child.They headed to the shopping c

The evening settled over their home like a cozy blanket, wrapping them in a sense of exhaustion mingled with contentment.Lavinia was practically vibrating with enthusiasm after her day spent shopping for their upcoming bundle of joy.Lavinia was so eager to change out of her day clothes and into something much more comfortable after spending so much time on her feet that she immediately headed for the dressing room.She emerged a few minutes later clad in a pair of silky black lounge pants that caressed her skin like a lover's touch, paired with a stretchy camisole top in a soft rose shade that skimmed over her still-flat stomach.She found Karl in their bedroom, painstakingly organizing and unpacking the numerous shopping bags she'd gleefully accumulated over the course of the day.He glanced up as she entered, and Lavinia didn't miss the way his eyes briefly darkened with unmistakable desire when he slowly drank in her casual yet alluring appearance from tousled hair to bare feet.

~The Next Morning~Lavinia and Karl took their time enjoying a relaxed breakfast together at the cozy kitchen table.The delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries filled the air.As Lavinia sipped her steaming mug of earl grey tea, she filled Karl in on her plans for the day. "I'll be at Rosie's place for most of the afternoon," she said casually. "With her wedding just a week away, there's still so much we need to get done - you know how it is with those last-minute details."Karl nodded in understanding, his expression a mix of amusement and affection while watching his glowing wife. "Speaking of the wedding..." he began, setting down his coffee cup. "My family will be coming into town a couple days before, but they won't be staying with us this time around."Lavinia's brows rose slightly. "Huh. Okay, that's fine," she replied with a little shrug. "I'm sure they've got a nice hotel lined up.""Mmhmm," Karl hummed in agreement before rising from his chair.He crossed

The car arrived at Lavinia and Karl's magnificent residence just a few minutes later.Lavinia entered through the front door and made her way into the living room, where she found her husband engrossed in watching a football match on the large flatscreen TV."Hey babe," she greeted him warmly, setting down her shopping bag before crossing the room.Karl's eyes followed her approach, dark and hot in a way that made Lavinia's pulse kick up a notch.She knew that particular look all too well - it was the one he got when he wanted her in his lap, pressed close against his solid frame.Lavinia was only too happy to oblige. She sank down on his thighs with a contented sigh and snuggling into his embrace.The evening progressed lazily in the coziness of their living room with a fond affection and humorous competitiveness.They relished the simple yet profound pleasures of each other's company. The atmosphere was light and comfortable, marked by the gentle hum of the television and their quie

Lavinia bit down on her lower lip nervously.Karl felt a sense of fulfilment come over him as she stroked her fingers over him.He withdrew his touch and watched her face for any sign of discomfort. But there were none.Lifting her chin with tender care, he leaned in to press his lips against hers. His kiss was filled with a potent hunger, his lips drawing hers into an intoxicating dance while she continued to stroke him.With a soft push, he distanced himself from her and climbed the sofa.Lavinia knelt before him, her feet neatly crossed beneath her.A blush bloomed on her cheeks when she cast shy glances towards him, following the direction of his finger pointing towards the bulge in his trousers."Go ahead, love," he encouraged in a hushed whisper.In response, Lavinia reached out tentatively and grasped the fabric of his cotton pants. Slowly but surely, she tugged them down while Karl watched with an irrepressible grin spreading across his face.Together they managed to remove th

The soft morning light filtered gently through the sheer curtains and casted a warm glow over the bedroom.Karl was settled in an armchair, savoring the rich aroma of his coffee. His gaze was drawn to the doorway when Lavinia entered in her silk robe."Good morning, my love," she greeted.The young Mrs Sullivan crossed the room to capture her husband’s lips in a kiss.Karl's smile broadened, but it quickly turned to a look of concern after studying her features more closely."You look pale this morning, my love," he murmured, "Are you feeling alright?"Lavinia sighed. "I don't know," she admitted, "My stomach just feels...off somehow. Unsettled."Karl's protective instincts immediately kicked into high gear at that. "Do you need me to take you to the hospital? Or should I call your doctor?" He asked.But Lavinia just shook her head before moving to settle next to him. "No, no, nothing like that," she reassured him. "I just...I need a quiet moment with you."They sat in silence for a f

Karl’s smile was radiant as he cupped her cheek. “And hearing you say that makes me feel like the luckiest man alive,” he murmured. “Having you need me, want me at your side…there’s no greater gift.”Their tender moment was interrupted a short while later by the practicalities of the day."Should I have the kitchen send up some breakfast for you?" Karl asked. "Or would you prefer I make something for you myself?"Lavinia considered for a moment nodding. "Yes, I think I could eat a little something now. But...no eggs, please," she added. "I don't think I can stomach them at the moment.""Of course, my darling. No eggs," Karl agreed before pressing a soft kiss to her brow and carefully extricating himself from her. "I'll be back in just a few minutes."True to his word, Karl soon returned bearing a tray laden with a simple yet appetizing spread. It was a tall glass of cold milk, a smaller glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, a plate of buttered toast with a small bowl of strawberry jam

“That’s better,” he rumbled. “Now you’re all mine…”Any further amorous activities were forced to be put on hold, however, when it was time to see Karl's family who had arrived from their home in Hartland.No sooner had they pulled up to the Hotel suite than the doors opened to reveal Kelly smiling warmly."There you two are!" she exclaimed before immediately pulling her brother into a tight embrace. "I was beginning to think you'd gotten lost on the way over."Karl chuckled and returned her hug. "You know I'd never risk keeping Lavinia from seeing her favorite little terror for too long," he teased.At the mention of her name, Lavinia stepped forward into Kelly's waiting arms, hugging her sister-in-law tightly. "I've missed you so much," she murmured, "And where is that little rascal Tyler? Don't tell me he's run off and gotten himself lost already!"She cast an exaggerated look around the room. But her searching gaze soon landed on the small figure darting between the legs of the gat

When they finally broke apart, he maintained a feigned frown. “Is that all we’re going to do?” he asked gruffly.Lavinia giggled at his attitude. "You're being ridiculous."Before he could retort, she carefully lifted Jan from his arms and settled onto the couch, preparing to nurse the hungry infant. She pulled out her breast from under her light shirt and guided the baby's mouth to her nipple so he could contentedly suckle.Karl watched them for a moment with a complicated mix of tenderness and jealousy. "I think we need to start weaning him off breastfeeding soon so he can drink regular milk," he commented.Lavinia just rolled her eyes at him. She was long used to hearing this complaint from her husband. "Are you seriously jealous of your own child? He's still so young, I can't just stop breastfeeding him like that," she sighed.Karl turned his gaze away, feeling unreasonably envious of the peaceful intimacy between mother and child. He tried to push the feeling aside.“Finally, he's

No sooner were the words out of her mouth than a piercing scream tore from her throat. “Aaaaaggghhhh! It hurts so bad! Karl, help me, please!” She clutched at him wildly.Karl was at a complete loss, watching his wife suffer so terribly.All he could do was hold her and try in vain to comfort her. "I'm here, I'm here...you're doing amazing, just keep breathing..."The medical team burst into the room in a flurry of chaos at the sound of Lavinia's screams. They swiftly but gently transferred her to the bed with the doctor taking charge."Okay Lavinia, you're fully dilated. It's time to start pushing on the next contraction," she instructed."No no no, I can't...I can't do it!" Lavinia shook her head even when the next contraction seized her body.Karl stroked her damp hair back. "Yes you can, baby. You're the strongest person I know. Just focus on me and push, I'm right here..."With a guttural, almost primal scream, Lavinia bore down hard. Her face turned beet red from the exertion."I

~Time flew by in a blur~"I am very nervous," Lavinia confessed while fidgeting with the hem of her maternity dress.The swell of her belly was now undeniable. It was a constant reminder of the life growing within her.Karl reached out, taking her hand in his and giving it a gentle squeeze. "It's okay, everything will be fine. No need to stress," he reassured her before turning his attention towards the doctor in anticipation.The doctor was getting ready to deliver the news that everyone had been waiting for."Here we go. Are you both ready to find out the gender of your little one?" the doctor asked.Lavinia and Karl nodded eagerly. They had discussed this moment countless times while imagining the different scenarios that could unfold.The doctor smiled. “Congratulations, you will have a son."Karl's face lit up with joy, "Did you hear that, my love? We're going to have a little boy, a little Sulivan who will look just like you," he exclaimed.Lavinia's smile mirrored his happiness.

Now that he was fully awake and alert, Karl pushed himself up on one elbow to study her expression. “Are you in pain?” he asked urgently, his mind instantly leaping to worst-case scenarios about her and their unborn child’s wellbeing.But Lavinia was quick to ease his fears, offering him a small, almost embarrassed smile. "No, no, it's not that at all," she reassured him before pausing momentarily. "I...well, I have a craving. For oranges."The tension seeped out of Karl's shoulders after registering her words. He let out a quiet chuckle of relief.He reached out and gently caressed her cheek. "Oranges? At this hour?" he teased. "You do realize it's well past midnight, and we're not exactly in peak orange season right now."Lavinia's expression fell into a mild pout. The desire for those oranges seemed so strong, so urgent in that moment, even if she understood the unlikelihood of finding any at this late hour.Sensing her letdown, Karl quickly backtracked. "But don't worry, my love. I

It was truly a night to remember.Andre and Rosie found themselves in the quiet of their hotel room, where they were able to spend some quality time together.While Andre's hands were softly put next to Rosie's head against the door as he gazed into her eyes intensely."What are you doing?" Rosie's voice trembled."Why are you so tense? Are you afraid?" Andre asked before caressing her cheeks tenderly.Rosie offered him a smile and shook her head. "I'm not... I just...""Don’t be nervous, just let yourself go. I'll never hurt you, my love. Everything will be fine, trust me," Andre reassured her.Rosie battled to restrain her reactions as he moved in and pressed soft kisses along her neck. She bit her lip in an attempt to suppress her moans."I love you, Rosie, you know that," Andre murmured.Rosie nodded. "I know, my love, and I love you too," she managed to say before their lips met in a tender kiss.Andre carefully lifted Rosie in his arms before carrying her to the bed. He gently s

Karl’s grin broadened at her words and he drew the quilt over them both before they welcomed dreamland together.The next day, Lavinia was standing in the middle of the dressing room, clad in just her underwear, angling her body towards the full-length mirror. With a small smile, she ran her hands over the gentle swell of her baby bump, admiring the changes pregnancy was bringing to her figure.She grabbed her phone and started snapping a series of photos from various angles in an attempt to document this special journey.The bathroom door opened and Karl stepped in, fresh from the shower with a towel slung low around his hips.He raised an eyebrow at his wife's actions. "Uh, what're you doing there, babe?"Lavinia glanced over her shoulder with a smile. "I'm taking belly pics! Wanna get in on this?" She motioned for him to join her. "I want to have photos documenting my whole pregnancy so we can look back on it."Without hesitation, Karl crossed the room and wrapped his arms snugly ar

“Is my husband still angry with me?” she murmured.She could feel the scorching heat of his body through the thin silk of her negligee and smell the warm, musky scent of his skin. It made her head spin with a dizzying rush of want.Before Karl could respond, Lavinia closed the scant distance between them and captured his lips in a deep, hungry kiss.For a long, heated moment he seemed to melt against her. His mouth moved in tandem with hers as one of his hands slid up to fist in her hair.A low rumbling groan of pure masculine appreciation vibrated against her lips and it made her shiver with delight.Then, all at once, Karl seemed to come to his senses. He tore his mouth away from hers with a harsh curse. His hands quickly dropped away from her as if she had scorched him."Dammit, Lavinia," he growled.There was an unmistakable bulge tenting the front of his pajama pants. "Don't do this, not tonight. I'm serious."Lavinia felt her heart plummet at the rejection. "But Karl--""No buts.

Lavinia felt her stomach twist itself into an anxious knot when the realization struck her. Karl must have retreated upstairs to their bedroom, no doubt seeking the solitude and space his anger and hurt seemed to demand.She wavered in the doorway for a long moment, chewing nervously on her lower lip while weighing her options.Part of her wanted nothing more than to leave him be, to give him the time and distance he so clearly needed to process whatever emotions were raging inside him over the disastrous misunderstanding.Another, deeper part of her, however, knew that putting off a reconciliation would only breed more resentment and pain between them.No, better to bite the bullet and face the awkwardness head-on no matter how painful it might be.Drawing a fortifying breath, Lavinia finally turned on her heel and slowly headed for the stairs.By the time she reached the bedroom door, her heart was pounding a staccato rhythm against her ribcage. She could hear the muffled sounds of

Martin gestured grandly at the table laden with boxes of crispy fried chicken, mounds of buttery mashed potatoes, biscuits, and other picnic fare. “We were talking about food, you nutters! This glorious chicken, to be exact.”The revelation hit the women like a ton of bricks.Rosie’s face flushed a brilliant crimson, slowly lowering the rolling pin, suddenly feeling very foolish.“We…we thought…” She stammered, unable to meet anyone’s eyes when the weight of their overreaction crashed down on her shoulders. “Oh god, I’m so sorry.”Talia scoffed loudly. “Wow? After our whole dramatic scene?” She shook her head in disbelief, but carefully set the skillet down.Andre stepped forward. “It’s okay, really. I can totally see how it sounded out of context.” He shrugged. “But we were just a bunch of guys enjoying some food and…well, guy talk. That’s all.”Lavinia forced an awkward laugh while pressing a hand to her reddened face as the absurdity of the situation fully registered.“Chicken…we re
