Author’s POV “Would you like to hear my story?” she asked and her voice came out just as a whisper. Chase felt her heartbeat increasing to an abnormal level where their bodies were connected, when she mentioned the words ‘my story’. He didn’t say anything for a moment and just rubbed her back with his palm. He placed a soft gentle kiss on her hairs. Slowly her heartbeat became normal. When he felt like that she is okay now, he pulled away a little so that he can stare into her eyes. Her eyes were red and puffy due to all the crying. “I would love to know everything about you Cara, but you don’t have to do it now. We can talk when you are actually ready to share. No need to feel pressured. You know what I mean right?” he said softly. His one hand was wiping her tear stained face and another one was drawing soft soothing circles on her back. She smiled at his words, “I know I don’t have to but I really want to share everything with you. And I think that if I didn’t do it today, I
Author’s POV By the end she was done talking, Cara was crying bitterly in his arms. Going through those petrifying memories was difficult for her. This is the reason why she is scared of offending people. The moment when she offended her adoptive father by calling him bad, still horrifies her. This is the reason why she wanted to apologize to Chase in the beginning when she used to think that she made him think that he is a monster. Because she knew the pain of being called what you are not. She remembers when her father, James used to blame her for her mother’s death, calling her by different names. She didn’t know the meaning of those words when she was young but as she grew up, she understood what all those words meant and it hurt her. That is why she didn’t want Chase to think that he is a monster who scares her. And now she knows for sure that he is not a monster, he never was. At least not to her. He was like her protector who saved her whenever she needed help. His ways
Author’s POV Cara turned around to find his intense gaze stuck on her which caused her heart to pound against her chest. Chase was trying so damn hard to control himself but when she turned around and his gray eyes met with her blue ones, it was his undoing. He strode towards her and captured her lips in a hot kiss, taking her by surprise. His hands slid around her lower back, pulling her in closer so her soft body was pressed against the length of his hard one. Cara closed her eyes and slid her hands up to wrap her arms around his neck, kissing him back with the same passion. He was devouring her mouth with a kind of hunger, he never had before for anyone except for Cara. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hoisted her up placing her on the kitchen counter. She gasped in surprise, breaking the kiss for the moment but he again covered the gap bringing their mouths together. He stepped between her legs as his one hand got tangled in her silky brown locks and another one wa
Author’s POV Chase is sitting beside Cara on the edge of the bed. His eyes are fixed on her beautiful sleeping face. No one in this entire world can imagine, how staying around her or looking at her or just hearing her voice, makes him relaxed and feel at ease. A small smile appeared on his lips when she started squirming in her sleep before opening her eyes. Their eyes met and a beautiful shy smile plastered on her lips. He leaned forward, hovering his upper body over hers so that their faces were just an inch apart. He removed few strands of her hairs from her face and caressed her head gently before pressing his lips against hers in a morning kiss. He left her mouth and whispered softly, “Good morning” and she replied in same kind of tone. “Did you get any sleep last night?” she asked him. “Yes I did” he replied confidently. She stared at his face for few moments before saying, “You are a bad liar, you know?”. He chuckled lightly at her words, “In front of you, yes I am.
Author’s POV “How are you my boy, Chase?” Chase was stunned. He didn’t know if he was dreaming or he really received a call from this person. “Chase what’s wrong?” Cara asked him in concern. Chase came out of his shock after hearing her voice. He picked up his phone that he dropped earlier, putting it over his ear again. “You seem to be very shocked. Did you forget all about your uncle, huh?” the person on other line said and it confirmed Chase’s doubt. It’s the same person he thinks it is. His jaw clenched tight as his grip on his phone tightened. “How can I forget about you?” Chase gritted out in anger. The guy on the other end laughed making Chase even more angrier than he already was and said, “Of course, you should never forget about me. I won’t let you forget about me”. “Why the f**k have you called me?” Chase growled on the line. “Because I missed you my boy. I still miss your crying face, you begging in front of me and most importantly those angry eyes of yours. I miss

She lifted her eyes up to look at Chase who was in the kitchen, making her favourite pasta for dinner. “Do you need any help?” she asked him making him shift his gaze towards her. “It’s almost done…” he suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence. Cara saw a playful smile breaking onto his lips when he continued, “Actually yes. I do need your help”. “And what is it that you need my help with?” she asked folding her arms over her chest and resting her back to the back rest of the couch. An amusing smile was plastered on her own lips. “If you could give me a kiss, it would have been perfect. You know I am in dire need of it right now” he said it so seriously as if he was talking to a doctor and was asking for a medicine. “Hmm… I have to think about it. As you might remember how you attacked me with lots of kisses as soon as we entered in the house, afte

Author’s POV“Are you really not going to talk to me?” Chase asked for the n’th time now. But Cara didn’t answer him and kept looking outside the window of the car, ignoring him completely. “Cara please… I am sorry for being late” he said glancing in her direction. His one hand was grabbing the steering wheel of his car, as he drove. His other hand reached to take one of her hand in his. “Cara… I promise I won’t be late next time. No, no, I won’t be late ever again” he requested again but she didn’t budge. He sighed. “If you are angry with me then take your anger out on me, scold me if you want for keeping you waiting. I will take it. But why are you ignoring me, huh?” he asked now sounding sad as he gave her hand a slight squeeze to get her attention. Finally she turned her head around to glare at him. “So that you know how it feels to be ignored, again and again” she replied with an edge to her tone and Chase knew that he f**ked up. He sighed again. “That is because, I was rea
