His Regret Arrived Three Days Late novel Chapter 39

The accusation hung in the air, a weight he couldn't shake. Since she already believed the worst of him, he saw no point in defending himself. The words that left his lips were as sharp and cold as ice. “Annika, if you want me to save him, you need to show me some sincerity.”

Annika’s lips pulled into a slow smile. It was ethereal and beautiful, yet held an unmistakable chill. She leaned forward and, without a shred of hesitation, settled onto his lap. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she lowered her head, her lips brushing against his Adam’s apple before trailing slowly upward. As she kissed him, Annika could see a storm brewing in his dark eyes—a volatile mix of fury and desire.

The simmering rage Conrad had suppressed for so long finally erupted, consumed by the passion she was deliberately stoking. Their cheeks pressed together, his hot breath fanning across her skin. It had been a long time since they had been together like this, and the look on his face—dark and predatory—sent a shiver of fear through her.

Perhaps Serena, with her injured leg, couldn't satisfy his needs, she thought grimly. That would explain this terrifying intensity.

“Conrad, I’m pregnant,” she whispered, her hand instinctively moving to her stomach, afraid his wildness might cause harm.

Conrad’s gaze flickered down to her belly, a complex emotion crossing his face. His movements gentled, but the tension remained. In the dim light, with her hair disheveled and clothes in disarray, her eyes held a hazy, broken look that was undeniably beautiful.

He had always known she was a captivating woman.

The thought of Tyler seeing her like this, of him being the cause of this intoxicating dishevelment, reignited the anger in his chest. He lowered his head and bit down on her reddened lips, not gently.

Annika was his. She would always be his.

The possessiveness of his own thought startled him, revealing an intensity of feeling he hadn't realized he harbored for this woman.
