A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 24

"Mrs. Carrington?" I hear, accompanied by kisses, wake me. I giggle, turning to the other side of the bed.

"Wake up." Luke says. "Noooooo!" I reply as I use the pillow to cover my face. He removes it and drags the duvet off my body. I gasp, getting up immediately, "I'm naked!" I try grabbing the duvet from him but he's not having it.

"Fine." I say as I get up, heading for the bathroom. He drags me back and gives me a back hug. I hold his hands in front, as I place kisses on each of them.

"I'm so tiny, compared to you." I say

"Exactly. The perfect fit." We move to the window opposite the right side of the bed and the sunlight falls on us.

"The weather's so nice today, I feel like going for a run and having a picnic by the lake." I say, caressing my ring.

"I want to do anything you want to do, my love."

I break the hug, turning to face him, "Right after we shower. I smell like you."

He raises his brow, playing a small laugh, "So you don't like that? Really, wow? My feelings are hurt."

I laugh too, "No, silly. What I meant to say is, I smell like sex." I lean in for a kiss and he grabs my bare rump as he begins to kiss back.

Luke is already in the shower and the water is already running as I join him. I touch his back and he becomes aware of my presence. I walk into the water, pressing my hair down.

"I promise to always love you, no matter what." He says, as he cups my jaw.
