Chapter 438:
Their passion carried them deep into the night, the intensity between them only growing. It wasn’t until Carrie's
soft, tearful pleas broke through — her voice hoarse, her eyes glistening with unshed tears — that he finally

moments, her breathing softened, and she drifted into a deep, much-needed sleep.
Kristopher glanced over and caught sight of her long legs peeking out from beneath the blanket, marked with
faint red traces of his passion. A smug satisfaction filled him, as though admiring a masterpiece he had created.

her pajamas.
