Caroline’s heart skipped a beat when Kirk looked at her that way. She angled her head to one side to escape his gaze. “Did you hear everything Grandpa said?”

Kirk stared at Caroline quietly.

*If you don’t want to see him, I can cancel it.”

Caroline gripped the edge of her clothes in nervousness. Jude was really important to her. He was the closest family she had in this world. If she could get Jude’s blessing

“Do you want me to go?” There was a complicated look in Kirk’s eyes.

Kirk swallowed. He reached out to brush her hair behind her ear. “Really?”

Kirk’s husky voice was seductive.

Caroline’s face was red as a tomato now. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, and she was so nervous that her body was tightly wound. She was afraid that Kirk could hear the pounding of her heart.

Before she could finish speaking, Kirk kissed her. He was in such a frenzy that Caroline’s lips quickly became red and swollen.

“Kirk …”

Kirk’s knuckles turned white. The desire he had been resisting all night was bursting forth now. A ripping sound rang out.

Even though she seemed skinny, her figure was full under her clothes. She was slim but had generous curves. Kirk’s gaze was possessive. It made Caroline go red. She wanted to cover herself, but Kirk held her back.

Kirk seemed to notice Caroline’s awkwardness. He bent over and kissed her collarbones, “You’re so beautiful.”

With this kiss, he could hold back no longer. It was as if he’d tasted the sweetest fruit and couldn’t stop until he’d devoured it, Caroline couldn’t resist either, and her gaze clouded over.

Suddenly, Caroline felt a stinging pain, bringing her back down to earth. She gave a shrill cry from the pain in her ankle,

Kirk restrained himself despite his lust. He asked, worried, “What is it?”

“My ankle hurts …”

Although the desire was about to consume him, Kirk got up. “Where does it hurt?”

“Where I twisted my ankle. I think I have a cramp.”

Kirk took a deep break. He applied some medication to Caroline’s ankle and rubbed it in.

As he did, Caroline kept stealing looks at him.
