Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347

Nick’s words caught in his throat midway. His eyes flickered with hesitation, as if he wanted to say more.

“What is it?”

Khloe’s heart skipped a beat, her chest tight, her hand hovering over him as if to touch, yet frozen by nerves.

“It’s just…” Nick’s lips curved in a barely perceptible smile as he leaned close to her ear. “…I miss you too much.

”

“Nick, stop scaring me like that!”

Khloe exhaled, a mix of exasperation and amusement threading her tone. But as her teasing words faded, her eyes reddened again. Nick had only meant to tease, but seeing tears form in her eyes made panic spike in him, and instantly, his expression darkened.

“Why are you crying?”

He reached urgently for her cheek, but Khloe pressed herself gently into him first. Her embrace was feather- light, as if afraid she might crush something fragile.

“Nick, I’m really scared… I’m fragile. I’m afraid of parting, afraid of losing you, afraid I’ll never see you again.”

Her voice trembled with emotion, warm and wet against his shoulder, seeping into him, piercing straight to his

heart.

Nick’s lips twitched, suddenly at a loss for words. Guilt washed over him like a tide. He moved to wipe her tears, but she didn’t let him.

“When you couldn’t wake up in the hospital, I was terrified… I wanted-so badly—to walk through life with you. If you left me without a word, I honestly wouldn’t know what to do…”

Khloe had never revealed herself so openly, not even when she’d given her whole heart to Trey. But in front of Nick, she surrendered without restraint.

“I know… I know everything. I promise I’ll take better care of myself, for us.”

Nick’s brow furrowed, pain threading through his voice. He repeated the promise again and again, running his fingers through her hair as he spoke.

Finally, Khloe looked up at him with a pout, muttering, “…You don’t keep your promises.”

“I do.”

Nick parted his lips, throat rolling, and with a single word, claimed her soft lips in a kiss.

The kiss deepened, skilled and lingering, his gentle tongue teasing at the very tip of her heart, stirring waves of sensation with every touch. Reason melted. Desire overtook restraint.

But Khloe, mindful of his recovery, pressed her palm lightly against his jaw before he could go further.

“Don’t… let’s wait until you’re better.”

Her voice trembled, her face flushed red. Every moment beside Nick was like a trial of willpower-his heated gaze and passionate kiss were almost unbearable.

After a quick shower, Khloe towel-dried her hair halfway and returned to him.
