She rested her head lightly against his chest, a soft drowsiness creeping in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the time they arrived at her apartment, the night was deep and quiet. Nick carried her into the car, up the stairs, through the door, and finally gently set her down on the sofa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe, initially shy, found herself gradually addicted to the sensation of being carried like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Nick bent slightly, his cheek brushed against her neck, tickling her into instinctively pressing her hand against his waist. He let out a low hum and pressed his lips gently against her brow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lights inside were off, leaving only the soft glow from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The atmosphere was so tender that it felt wrong to break it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe\u2026 I\u2026\u201d Nick hesitated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She noticed his Adam\u2019s apple moving slowly as he spoke. His shirt collar was open, hinting at the sculpted lines of his chest, enough to send her mind wandering.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry.\u201d Khloe quickly withdrew her hand, though her eyes lingered on him a moment longer than necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick straightened, and she hurried to sit up as well. \u201cBy the way, why did you come over suddenly tonight? Are you fully recovered from your fever? And\u2026 did everything on your side get resolved?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, all sorted. Your help with the project made things go smoothly.\u201d Nick stood a little awkwardly, his back straight, voice tinged with hesitation. \u201cI just got back tonight and heard that Grandma invited you to dinner, so I came to see you. We didn\u2019t finish our conversation the other day\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe remembered now-they had been talking about watching a movie together before the news of Trey\u2019s grandmother\u2019s return interrupted them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had always loved horror films but hated watching them alone. As a child in the orphanage, she\u2019d had friends to accompany her, but growing up, she hadn\u2019t dared to watch one by herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When she first dated Trey, he had taken her to the cinema to watch a horror film, knowing she wanted to see it. Yet he had been far more scared than she was, leaving the theater several times before the movie ended. Eventually, Khloe had given up watching it. After that, neither of them mentioned horror films again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When she had casually brought up her fondness for horror movies, Nick had been indifferent, admitting he rarely watched films. Khloe had initially hoped to invite him to watch a movie with her, but hearing his response, she could only smile wryly and drop the subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What Khloe didn\u2019t know was that later, Nick had sent her a message suggesting they\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>sometime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>atch a movie together\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, I was a bit sleepy, so I fell asleep,\u201d she admitted, a little embarrassed, though she quickly added, \u201cBut I\u2019d like to watch a movie with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen why not watch one now?\u201d Nick said immediately, his voice gentle, his gaze carrying a hint of expectation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d He glanced at his watch-just past ten. It wasn\u2019t too late to watching a movie before leaving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though Khloe was already feeling sleepy, she didn\u2019t refuse. Instead, a playful thought crossed her mind, and she\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>smiled. \u201cThen let\u2019s watch a horror film. Charlotte downloaded a new one for me a few days ago-it\u2019s perfect for nighttime viewing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright,\u201d Nick replied with easygoing warmth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They settled in the living room, but after a few minutes, Khloe began to shift uncomfortably. Seeing Nick seated upright on the sofa, poised as always, she moved a little closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick\u2026 are you brave? Do horror movies scare you? We don\u2019t have to watch it if it\u2019ll scare you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 134 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 134 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26651\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
