Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 339

“Wait! Charles…” I protested in shock as I felt his arm around my body before he started lifting me up into his arms.

Effortlessly, Charles lifted me up into his arms and began carrying me princess-style. These big and tall guys with too much strength always just like to do whatever they want, don’t they?

“I’ll carry you to the car. Just tell me the way,” Charles said calmly.

I let out a long sigh as I shook my head a little to myself. This is nuts. However, it did save me from walking on blistered feet. I felt quite uncomfortable at how effortlessly he could lift me up as if I was lighter than air. I could feel Charles’ strong arms around my body and the hardness of his chest and body against mine.

“Thanks…but seriously, you didn’t need to do this…” I thanked him begrudgingly.

“It’s nothing. So, which way is your car?” Charles said like it really was nothing.

I was starting to wonder if he randomly lifted women with blistered feet into his arms just like this but then I realize that he probably didn’t. With another defeated sigh, I pointed my finger in the direction where my car was parked. Immediately, Charles started walking in the direction that I had pointed.

If I had met Charles earlier when I was living my old life as the Natalia Rosenhall, I would have seriously considered spending a wild night in bed with him…or anywhere he wanted to do it. His body and looks were definitely the type that I coveted, and his character is charming and decently respectful. I was sure that with the body and history that he had, he knew very well how to please a woman in bed and that I would probably have an enjoyable time with him. However, right now, I wasn’t at all interested in bedding him or anyone for that matter.

This dress probably sent off all the wrong messages and the bar setting didn’t help either. With a sigh, I decided that perhaps it was time that I told him straight forwardly that if he’s looking for a one-night stand, he’s more than welcome to look elsewhere because I wasn’t game. A nagging feeling at the back of my mind told me that that wasn’t the case with Charles though.

‘…not everyone women here can be bought for a price and not every man is here looking for company for the night,’

For some strange reason, Queen’s words came back to me, and it only made me wonder what Charles was really looking for. It also made me wonder if I had been unknowingly looking for something here too.

The walk to my car wasn’t a long one and I didn’t want to stretch it out more than necessary. All the while, I was mindful that he was still holding me in his powerful arms. After a short while, we arrived where my car was parked.

“Did you drive here?” I asked curiously.

“Yes, I did,” he replied.

“This is my car. Thank you carrying me,” I said as I gestured to my car.

Charles took the last few steps towards my car with me still in his arms. Carefully, he put me back down on the ground and I felt the pain in my feet once more. It was now time for us to part ways for the night. I reached for the handle to the car’s door, but Charles larger hand beat me to it. I watched as the door slowly opened as he opened the door for me.
