Chapter 297

"WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG?" CARSON blinked at Ryan, needing answers as her body seemed to throb, aching for release.

"Not the time," he replied.

Not the time? Was he serious?

That was bullshit.

He'd pounced on her the first day together and whenever they were remotely alone. And it hadn't always been the right time then, so why now? Life didn't follow rules or order.

Carson dug her fingers into his short hair and tugged his face up. She pressed her lips to his, but he held back, keeping it sweet. That wasn't what she wanted. It wasn't his style. She wanted him to be real with her. The only way they'd find their trust again was if they started at the ground level, being honest about everything. And right now she wanted him. She wanted to feel that release and pleasure without the burden of truth haunting her. She wanted to hold him and know this was right. That they were together. And that maybe she did love him and just not know it yet.
