Charles POV
The kids spent the past few days at the Moore mansion while Caroline and I stayed sequestered in the house on Garden Street, enjoying some private time. We lay on the huge sofa and huddled together tonight The satisfaction i felt at the simple act of holding her hand was immeasurable
Caroline leaned against my chest and looked up at me.
“What’s wrong?” I asked in a near whisper, unwilling to disturb the blissful silence.
“Nothing. I just want to look at you,” Caroline replied in a soft voice. Warmth filled my chest and I couldn’t help chuckling happily. Just because I could, I raised her hand to my lips and kissed it.
“Is that all you want to do? Just look at my face?”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, wouldn’t you rather look at my whole body instead of settling for just my face?” My voice was Tough with desire when I spoke again.
“How about I show it to you now?”
“You bad boy!” Caroline spluttered, her face turning crimson She snatched her hand back in mock anger and tried to leave the sofa
However, I didn’t release her hand but instead dragged her back to my chest and wrapped my arms around her body
“Caroline, how about we go to the island next week?”
I was not in a hurry to let the quality time Caroline and I were enjoying come to an end. At the island. I was confident that no one would be interrupting us. It would only be the two of us on the island, enjoying quality time together
“On the island where we held our wedding?” Caroline blinked her bright eyes, which glittered with excitement,
I pressed my lips against the corner of her eyes, then kissed the tip of her nose and finally pecked her lips. “Yes.”
