Love Trap: The Billionaire's Regret CH.45
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

"I really don't see why you need to work when I make more than enough to support us both comfortably," he said with a shake of his head, sounding mildly exasperated as he released a harsh breath through his nostrils. "What's the point of busting your ass at some bullshit nine-to-five when you don't have to? When you could be here, at home, focusing on me and being a good wife?"My frustration was rising to see him feign ignorance of the agreement we'd made, but I kept my composure and opted for a peaceful approach despite my growing irritation. I knew from experience that meeting his displeasure with raised voices and heated words would only lead to a fight, and I wanted to remain calm and reasonable. "Karl, we agreed before we got married that I could get a job once we were settled," I repeated, keeping my tone even and focused. "I'm just...really bored being home all day with nothing to do, you know? I need something more mentally stimulating than just being home. Something tha

Karl's desire was pretty evident even before he looked up at me. The bulge tenting the towel wrapped around his waist left little to the imagination. His lips gently brushed the sensitive skin above my collarbone, leaving a trail of tingling heat in their wake before he pulled away slightly. I slowly opened my eyes and took in his handsome features - the sharp angles of his jawline, the heavy brow and those eyes that always seemed to bore straight through me. His gaze was heated, pupils blown wide with want as he drank in the sight of me."I want to feel your presence in every passionate moment," he mumbled. "I want to enjoy your company and hear my name on your lips when I move inside you."He pulled me closer with each word until our bodies were flush, his arousal an insistent pressure against my belly. He planted a lingering kiss on the back of my neck, his beard scratching deliciously, before nipping at the juncture of my shoulder with just a hint of teeth."If you ag

Karl performed his magic. His wicked tongue swirled, thrust and sucked until I was a writhing, whimpering mess above him. The pleasure built and built until it crested in an explosive orgasm that had me crying out, my whole body going rigid as I rode out the pulses of blinding ecstasy.I was still on the brink of another when he suddenly, cruelly pulled away, leaving me bereft and aching for more.I let out a frustrated, needy moan and shot him a wistful glance, silently pleading, only to be met with a devilish smile that promised sweet torture."What's the matter, honey? Is there something you need?" Karl asked in a blatant taunt as he licked his glistening lips in a way that should have been illegal. He was expecting me to beg him. This bastard!He expected me to debase myself and voice my most shameless desires aloud. And damn him, I was so far gone that I didn't even care about clinging to my shreds of pride anymore. I wanted - no, needed - him too badly.I looked at

Karl helped me into my coat. He gently pulled it up over my shoulders and adjusted the collar. "Don't take it off while we're out, okay?" he said in a tone that was slightly stern but laced with obvious affection. I rolled my eyes a little at his overprotective tendencies. "Don't you think you're being a little over-possessive?" I countered, unable to hide the amused smile tugging at my lips.One of his thick eyebrows arched upwards as he reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear, his fingertips grazing my cheek in a tender caress. "You can give me some space to do things on my own if you really love me," I mock-pouted, sticking out my lower lip exaggeratedly.A low chuckle escaped from Karl's lips. He scoffed softly and shook his head, his eyes roaming over my body in an unmistakable look of desire. "I'm actually taking it easy on you, babe. The last thing I want is to smother you with my jealousy or make you feel overwhelmed by how insanely attracted I am to

We took our time strolling back through the park to where we had parked the car, enjoying the picturesque scenery and each other's company. We stopped at a nicer Italian restaurant that Karl loved for an early dinner once we returned to the city. It had a warm, romantic ambiance with low lighting, white-tablecloth-covered tables, and a cozy fireplace crackling in the corner.We were seated at a quiet corner table partially secluded by a series of intricately carved screens, and I immediately felt myself start to unwind in the intimate setting. Our server brought over a bottle of their finest Chianti to accompany our meal, filling our glasses with rich, full-bodied red wine. Karl's hand found mine on the tabletop, and our fingers laced together in a comforting way that just felt so natural.Our food arrived a while later - a hearty beef ragu over thick pappardelle noodles for Karl and a light yet decadent mushroom risotto for me. I must have been eyeing Karl's plate with a bit

Karl's side of the bed's sheets was already chilly when I woke up the following morning.I ran my fingers over the indentation his head had left on the pillow with a frown creasing my brow. It was unusual for Karl to be up before me. I was the early riser in our relationship."Karl?" I called out softly in a voice still husky with sleep. No response.Pushing myself to sit, I swept my tangled hair out of my face and glanced around our bedroom. Sunlight streamed through the gap in the heavy curtains. Everything was in its place, exactly as we'd left it the night before - except for my husband.I threw off the silk sheets and swung my legs over the side of the bed. The plus carpet next to our bed was soft beneath my bare feet, and I padded over to the walk-in closet to grab my favorite silk robe from its hanger. "May as well go find him and figure out what he's up to," I muttered, running a hand through my sleep-mussed hair. I made my way out of the bedroom and down the long

Karl closed the distance between us and reached out to settle his large hands on my waist. He pulled me flush against his solid chest with a gentle tug, wrapping those strong arms around me in a tight embrace. I immediately started squirming against his iron grip, trying in vain to wriggle free."Let me go, Karl!" I growled, my voice muffled against the soft fabric of his shirt. The spicy scent of his cologne filled my nose, bringing back a flood of memories that I ruthlessly shoved aside. "I'm not in the mood for your stupid games right now. Just tell me the truth!"Karl simply let out a deep chuckle that usually made me melt into a puddle at his feet. Now it just pissed me off even more. He nuzzled against the sensitive skin of my neck, his warm breath sending an involuntary sensation racing down my spine despite my best efforts to remain angry."Lavinia, just relax and hear me out," he murmured in his velvet voice. Damn him and his stupid sexy voice!"It's not what you think

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
