Chapter 105: A New Obsession

Carter pulled his black aviators down over his eyes as he stepped onto the tarmac with Ariana. He guided her to the black SUV by the small of her back. She wrapped an arm around his waist as they walked to the car.

Ariana peered up at him and his set jaw. "Hey."

"What?" Carter opened the door for her, and she stopped to turn to face him.

Ariana played with the lapels on his suit coat as she grabbed them and slowly looked up at him. "Relax. You're so stiff."

"It's hard to relax when the world is going insane around me." Carter sighed and touched her chin, tilting her head up to brush his lips against her. "Now, get in the car before more photos are taken of us together."

"What if I want more photos? We could always frame them on our walls." Ariana teased and got at least a small smile out of the stoic man.

"Will you just get in the car, silly?" Carter shook his head, with a laugh, as he watched her giggle and get into the SUV for him.
