Chapter 499


    ?


    Chloe and Connor made their way back to Greenpeace Estate. The moment they stepped through the door, Connor swept Chloe up into his arms with a yful grin. Startled, Chloe let out a little yelp, "What are you up to?" Yet, almost by instinct, her arms wrapped around his neck.


    Connor''s eyes sparkled with mischief. "I''ve got something big nned, and we need to strike while the iron''s hot, or it''ll lose its magic."


    Chloe couldn''t help butugh at his antics. ying along, she asked, "What big n needs my help?"


    "Only you can help with this," he replied, leaning in to capture her lips in a kiss.


    They kissed their way from the living room, up the stairs, and down the hall to the bedroom. By the time they reached the soft, inviting bed, Chloe was breathless. Connor gentlyid her down, and she gazed up at him, a little dazed.


    Connor cradled her face, studying her like she was his most treasured work of art. Chloe was breathtakingly beautiful. He marveled at how the little girl with pigtails and chubby cheeks had grown into such an enchanting woman, like a rose in full bloom.


    Chloey back in the bed, her eyes shimmering with a dreamy haze. Despite her seductive allure, Connor found her eyes to be the most innocent part of her.


    “What are you staring at?" Chloe teased softly, her voiceced with a rxed charm.


    Connor, propped up on his elbows beside her, ran his fingers through her long, cascading hair. "Just you. I could look at you forever."


    Chloe chuckled, "After all these years, and you''re still not tired of it?"


    "How could I be? A lifetime wouldn''t be enough."


    Chloe turned her head, smiling a deep, warm smile. "You''re such a sap."


    Connor, unable to resist, kissed her neck. Just a whisper of a kiss, but enough to make her giggle, "Stop that, it tickles."


    Connor whispered in her ear, "What did you call me?"


    Chloe turned to him, eyes twinkling. "Darling, like always, right?"


    “It''s time for something new. Try again."


    Chloe pretended to ponder, "Sweetheart?"


    "Nope!"


    "Babe?"


    "Uh-uh."


    "Trophy Boy?"


    "Chloe!!"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Connor pushed himself up, and Chloe stopped teasing. She pulled him down for a kiss, whispering sweetly, "Husband, I love you." Connor kissed her back, thoroughly content. His voice was a low, seductive murmur, "Wife, tonight''s our real wedding night."


    Chloe traced little circles on his chest, teasing, "Well then..."


    With a quick move, Connor flipped her over, and Chloe found herself straddling him. Connor''s grin was pure mischief, "Tonight, you''re in charge." Chloe raised an eyebrow, her hair cascading around her as she shifted her hips yfully, "You might regret that."


    Connor would indeed find himself


    rethinking that decision. In their three years together, sharing the same bed, it was usually him taking the lead. Chloe was theid-back type never too eager, but never a buzzkill either. But tonight.


    Chloe fell asleep, nestled in Connor''s arms, her breathing soft and steady. Connor, however, stayed wide


    awake. Every time he closed his eyes, alt he could see was Chloe''s bold, captivating presence, the memory of their night together teasing him with its intensity.


    He wanted more-much more. But watching Chloe sleep peacefully, he knew how precious her rest was. Not wanting to disturb her, he quietly recited calming mantras until the sun rose.


    When Chloe woke up, Connor had just stepped out of the shower, fresh and ready to start the new day.
