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 playful 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 planned, and we need to strike while the iron's hot, or it’ll lose its magic."
Chloe couldn’t help but laugh at his antics. Playing along, she asked, “What big plan 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 gently laid 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.
Chloe lay 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 voice laced with a relaxed 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?”
