Love Trap: The Billionaire's Regret CH.38
The crudity of his words made me flinch slightly. My cheeks flooded with scorching heat as realization set in with dizzying force. Oh god, what had I gotten myself into? How would I extricate myself from this rapidly escalating situation without angering Karl?Before I could formulate any sort of response or plan of action, Karl took my free hand in his and firmly placed it directly over the thick, rigid length straining against the soft cotton of his pants. The sheer heat and hardness of him seared into my palm like a brand, making me suck in a sharp breath of mingled shock and something darker that I refused to put a name to."You can't tease me like that and not follow through, baby," he growled in a voice rendered husky and thick with naked arousal. "You need to take responsibility now."My hand rested awkwardly over the prominent bulge, feeling it twitch slightly against my splayed fingers as if reacting to Karl's commanding tone. I felt utterly trapped, caught between the

I stared up at Karl in shock and disbelief. His crude demand left me feeling utterly exposed and helpless like a fragile insect pinned beneath his intense scrutiny. It was as if I had gotten irreversibly tangled up in an inescapable grasp of his own depraved making, the silken threads binding me tighter with every passing second until I could scarcely breathe."What do you want now, Karl?" I managed to ask in a voice strained with fear and trepidation, feebly attempting to wriggle free from his overwhelming physical dominance and the iron grip of his large hands.But Karl wasn't letting up, not even for a fraction of a second. He intertwined my hands with his in a bruising grip, holding them immobilized above my head in a display of sheer strength as his other hand began exploring the soft curves and valleys of my body with an unhurried sort of dark possessiveness."Did you really think one little teasing touch would be enough to satisfy me, hmm?" he growled in a low, grating

"Get off me, Karl, you're too heavy," I muttered breathlessly once I had regained some of my senses, trying in vain to squirm out from under the solid weight of his large frame pinning me to the mattress.He flashed me a wicked grin that held not a shred of remorse, his eyes still glittering with the lingering embers of satisfaction before rolling off me and tugging my sweat-slicked body flush against his chest in an almost tender embrace. As much as I wanted to resist the gesture, to push him away and create some much-needed distance between us, I couldn't deny the small flicker of comfort and security I felt being enveloped in the scorching heat of his arms and surrounded by his overwhelming presence.---I woke with a start to the first rays of golden morning light creeping through the edges of the heavy curtains, momentarily disoriented and deeply unsettled by the vivid remnants of the previous night's activities. It took me a few seconds to get my bearings and remember that I

"Please be quick about this. I'm on borrowed time here," I urged, unable to mask the urgency in my voice any longer as I shifted restlessly in my seat. I really wished he would just hurry up and get to the point so I could get back before Karl returned from work and inevitably started interrogating me about my whereabouts.Felix wouldn't be wasting both of our time like this, dragging out some dramatic speech, if only he knew the precarious, suffocating dilemma I was caught in at home. The invisible chains Karl kept me bound with were growing tighter each day, making even the simple acts of breathing or thinking for myself a struggle.I tried hard to resist the urge to check my watch, not wanting to seem rude or impatient with my oldest friend, but the seconds felt like they were stretching into eternity. My nerves were rapidly fraying with each agonizing tick of the clock, the knot of dread in the pit of my stomach winding itself tighter and tighter until I could hardly draw

We boarded the plane together a few hours later, but the tension between us was palpable, almost a living force in and of itself. Karl kept his distance, slouched beside me with his arms crossed over his chest and his jaw locked in a tight line. He shot me hard stares whenever our eyes met, his gaze burning with an intensity that made me shift uncomfortably in my seat like a scolded child. I hated his wild, unhinged look in those moments when the promise of violence simmered just beneath the surface. But I had no idea what had triggered this particular mood. The not knowing, the constant uncertainty of how to walk on eggshells around him to avoid setting off another powder keg, was slowly driving me mad.We soon approached the house, my anxiety growing a thousandfold with every mile we drew closer to the isolated, sprawling estate. I knew I would have to tell Karl the news about my meeting with Felix soon. There was no way to avoid the inevitable confrontation, no matter how mu

Karl glared at me, his eyes glinting with a dangerous combination of fury and suspicion that made the hairs on the back of my neck prickle with instinctive trepidation. The muscle in his jaw ticked rhythmically as he ground his teeth, clearly struggling to maintain some semblance of control over his volatile temper."A harmless morning encounter with Felix, huh? Don't insult my intelligence, Lavinia!" he spat, his full lips twisting into a disdainful sneer that made my stomach churn uneasily. "You've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to spill the beans about your little rendezvous, haven't you? Biding your time until you thought you could slip it into casual conversation without me seeing through your transparent lies." His voice was low and laced with biting venom. Each accusatory word felt like a barb meant to draw blood. I could see the storm brewing behind his eyes, the tempest of rage and jealousy threatening to break loose at any moment.I remained rooted in place,

Karl let out a mocking bark of laughter that sent a chill skittering down my spine and made the fine hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. "I don't believe for a second that's the whole story, Lavinia. That's just the sanitized, family-friendly version you're trying to feed me."He whirled to face me again, his expression twisted into a mask of pure, unrestrained fury. Hot steam was practically flaring from his flared nostrils as he glowered at me, his face mottling an alarming shade of purple from the force of his rage. I could see the vein throbbing in his neck, bulging beneath the taut skin like a tiny captive heart trying to beat its way free."Now, you either tell me the full, unvarnished truth this instant or I swear to God, I'll make you regret every second of He slammed his fist into the wall with a sickening crunch. I flinched violently. A small cry escaped my lips as I shrank back against the door, certain he was about to turn that explosive violence on me next.

Karl was silent for a long moment. His eyes bore into me as if he could see straight through to my soul simply by the intensity of his gaze alone. Finally, he gave a curt nod, apparently accepting my words as the truth for now."I believe you...this time," he said in a clipped tone. "But let this be a lesson to you about lying and trying to pull one over on me. I don't tolerate deception of any kind, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. If you ever go behind my back again, if I catch you in a lie, there will be severe consequences. Are we clear?"I could only nod mutely, not trusting my voice as relief and lingering fear battled for dominance within me. Karl was unpredictable at the best of times. Yet I knew I had pushed him dangerously close to the edge this time. I would have to be more careful going forward, picking my battles and avoiding giving him any more reasons for suspicion or mistrust."Good. Now get out of my sight before I change my mind about being so l
