Chapter 43

Carla opened her eyes to sunlight streaming in from the window. She winced and squinted her eyes a little, as it had reacted to the sudden brightness. She felt strange, oddly satisfied, why? What happened to her? She looked disoriented for a moment, thinking about the changes that had occured in her life lately until memories started rushing back to her. Liam, the baby contract they signed, proposal, marriage, wedding night... Yes that's it! Their wedding night! She remembered how passionate their lovemaking was. Liam couldn't seem to get enough of her, thus making her night short but enjoyable and memorable. She had collapsed against his chest when her body could take no more and had fallen asleep. The guy sure didn't seem to get tired though, he could go on for hours without getting tired of lovemaking. She turned and took in a sharp breath when she came face to face with him. They were so close that they would make physical contact if she so much inched a little bit closer. His eyes were closed, which meant that he wasn't awake yet, or was he? She studied his profile for some minutes, drinking in his relaxed profile. He really looked calm while asleep. The eyebrows that never seemed to quit frowning now looked peaceful. Slowly, she reached out a finger and inched it towards his face until it met with the thick eyebrows. She moved her finger back and forth, caressing the soft but thick hair. He really do look like a baby when his penetrating gaze was not on her, as if searching her soul.
