Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234

“Mark? What mark?”

Khloe tilted her head, feeling a playful itch at his teasing, completely unaware that there was a mark on the back of her neck.

“A red birthmark,” Nick’s voice dropped low, almost pressing against that spot as he spoke. “It’s hidden… but…”

His breath grew heavier, and he trailed off mid-sentence.

“But what?”

Though he hadn’t finished, Khloe had already turned to face him.

In an instant, Nick shifted forward, his broad shoulders drawing her closer. With lightning reflexes, he pressed her body against the cabinet behind her, but his hands had already cupped the back of her head, steadying her.

A cold, shallow breath brushed her cheek. Their eyes met, dark, smoldering, and restrained yet feral in its intensity.

“But…” His husky voice dripped with temptation, “…it’s very attractive. Impossible to resist… I want to see it more closely.”

Before she could respond, his warm lips descended on hers.

Khloe barely had time to react, letting out a soft hum as she tilted her head, yielding to the sudden, consuming intimacy.

Her cheeks flamed red, blood tingling through her veins like electricity. Her delicate fingers instinctively clutched at the firm expanse of his broad back.

Nick’s kiss was gentle yet penetrating.

Khloe began to retreat, trapped uncomfortably between his chest and the cabinet, but he closed his eyes and lifted her effortlessly, wrapping her legs around his waist and securing her against him.

Her brows furrowed slightly; her body softened under his touch. Yet just as his hand traced toward the hem of her shirt, an abrupt ringtone shattered the moment.

Her phone lay just behind her, but trapped in his embrace, she couldn’t reach it-and Nick had no intention of letting go.

The ringing didn’t stop. Whoever it was, they were relentless.

Distracted, Khloe glanced toward the phone. Nick, however, swiftly grabbed it first.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Khloe reached to hang up, but instinctively, Nick pressed the answer button. His eyes darkened, showing an uncharacteristic flash of impatience.

“Khloe… why did you block my number?”

Trey’s slightly anxious, almost pleading voice pierced their bubble.

Khloe’s brow knitted. She moved to end the call, but Nick shifted just enough to block her, staring her down. His eyes, still glistening from moments ago, now carried a sharp chill.

She froze, trapped by his tightening grip, knuckles whitening.

“Khloe… I’ve missed you so much…” Trey’s voice softened, drawn out seductively even across the line.

But to Khloe, words that once felt intimate now only churned disgust in her stomach.
