Chapter 131
Sean had never cared much about meteor showers.
But seeing his Lottie so enchanted by them, watching her close her eyes and make a wish beneath the stars–suddenly, the sky full of falling stars felt breathtakingly beautiful.
When Charlotte finished her wish and opened her eyes, she turned to look at him. Her gaze sparkled with joy, like a pair of bright, innocent doe eyes.
“Sean,” she asked with a playful smile, “why didn’t you make a wish?”
The nighttime chill had reddened the tip of her nose and her earlobes, making her look even more delicate.
Sean couldn’t resist. He reached out and gently pinched her ear, his voice light with amusement.
“I didn’t need to. My wish already came true.”
He only ever had one wish–to have her by his side for the rest of their lives.
Charlotte didn’t quite understand. She blinked up at him, her lashes fluttering.
“What wish?”
Sean gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, a soft smile curving at his lips.
“My wish… is to be with you.”
His gaze was steady, dark and deep as he looked at her. Then he added, with quiet sincerity, “Forever.”
Charlotte’s heart melted in an instant. His words wrapped around her like a warm breeze, soft and tender, stirring something sweet and shy inside her. She felt like a flower blooming in the spring wind.
She ducked her head bashfully and mumbled, “You usually seem so serious. Who knew you had such a way with words?”
Sean’s voice dropped, low and magnetic.
“It’s not just talk,” he said. “I meant every word.”
Charlotte pressed her lips together, suddenly feeling flustered. She nudged a small pebble with the toe of her shoe, her lashes lowered, too shy to meet his eyes.
“What did you wish for, Lottie?” Sean asked, softly pulling her into his arms.
“I’m not telling,” she said coyly. “If I say it out loud, it won’t come true.‘
”
That night, Charlotte and Sean shared a tent.
The space inside was roomy, but the air felt warm and heavy with tension.
Sean’s lips moved to her neck
“I’ve waited years for this and now I finally have what I wished for.”
His kisses fell gently on her bare skin, slow and lingering. His breath came in soft, restrained gasps, warm against her neck
Charlotte had come for the meteor shower. She never expected Sean to get this handsy out in the middle of nowhere.
They definitely hadn’t brought any protection.
Could she get pregnant without it?
She wasn’t ready for that yet.
Especially now, with their engagement having been called off. They were just dating. The idea of getting pregnant before marriage didn’t sit right with her, but how was she supposed to bring it up?
She had never done this before. Talking about it out loud was embarrassing,
Just as she was working up the courage to say something, Sean suddenly stopped.
In the quiet of the tent, his breathing was loud, heavy with restraint. His voice, rough with desire, came in a low murmur.
“Not here. Not your first time. Let’s sleep.”
Charlotte was rendered speechless.
