Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 72

The last time Terence was in BH City, he was so close to having sex with her. Now that she was in his arms again, and they were both lying in her bed, Terence felt he was turned on.

He still remembered how bitter and wronged he felt last time she refused him.

He felt like she was a glorious meal that had been served in a plate and placed right in front of him. An inch away and he would eat her alive. But the plate had an invisible cover that prevented him from touching her.

Or maybe, he just wanted the cover to open up itself rather than opening it by force.

"Carla? Were you asleep?" Terence tried to call her again to test if she had really fallen asleep.

He waited and waited but there was no response.

Carla fell into her dreams as soon as her skin touched the bed. She had been having a hard time falling asleep lately until tonight. Though she was completely relaxed, her arms still covered her body as a gesture of protecting herself. Terence, on the other side of the bed, could clearly hear her rhythmic breathing.

He tried, with all his strength, to suppress the desire coming from between his legs. He breathed heavily and reached over to her earlobe, giving it a soft yet vengeful bite suddenly. The woman had already fallen in deep sleep and had no idea what the man lying beside her was going through. Feeling uncomfortable and dejected, Terence returned to his side of the bed and forced himself to sleep.

Around six o'clock the next morning, Carla was woken up from her dreams by a loud noise coming from the living room.

"Terence! You told me last night that I'd still see you when I wake up in the morning! Yey! You're really here! Tell me, tell me! Do you know any kind of magic or something? Like Harry Potter?! You know like when you cast a spell and you'll just show up in front of people! That is so cool!"

Sean laughed out aloud like it was Christmas morning. He curled up onto Terence's arm like a Koala and screamed with excitement.

"Of course I know magic. You know what? I know every kind of magic in the world. If you don't believe me, see it for yourself on the bookshelf in your room!"

Terence claimed with confidence and patted Sean's shoulder. He noticed that Sean had grown taller. The kid's height barely reached his belly button when they first met and now, Sean was almost towering his chest.

Sean couldn't believe what he just heard and suddenly dropped himself down to the floor, rushing inside his room.

Ten seconds later... "Oh my god!" Sean couldn't hold his extreme excitement and shrieked from his room. "Terence! You got me the whole set of the comic book! I only mentioned it once to you and you remembered! I need to take this to school and show it around the class so the other kids will know that I have the whole collection! Thank you so much!"

Although Terence couldn't see Sean's face, he knew that little Sean was blown away by his simple gesture. He guessed that Sean was already going through the comic book after a long silence so he turned around and opened the door of the master bedroom.

Carla heard his footsteps and suddenly threw herself on the pillow and pretended to be asleep. A few breaths after, the door opened and Terence walked directly to the bed.

"Hey sleepy head, I know you're already awake," Terence called out to her. He reached for the blanket and gently pulled it to the side. Seeing her unmoving body, he jumped to the bed and hugged her from behind. 'Mmm, she's so warm, ' Terence murmured softly.
