She\u2019d long forgotten the giddy, fluttering excitement of young love and had almost overlooked Khloe\u2019s pure-hearted nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But this was perfect!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite his age and commanding presence in the outside world, Nick was just as innocent at heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta leaned close to Khloe\u2019s ear. \u201cThen tonight, let him sleep on the sofa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely not!\u201d Khloe immediately protested. \u201cHe won\u2019t rest well there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta laughed uncontrollably. \u201cAh, so this is what it\u2019s like to be married-already worrying about your husband?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma, I\u2019m not-\u201d Khloe floundered, completely flustered, and could only tug on Loretta\u2019s arm in a playful, helpless gesture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHush now, you two can handle your own affairs. I just want you to feel comfortable at home,\u201d Loretta said, patting Khloe\u2019s hand. \u201cNick treasures you, don\u2019t worry.

Her fingers brushed across the smooth, silky sheets, but her mind was ablaze with memories of the past few days with Nick. Her heart and her gaze both burned with warmth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two hours had passed since Nick returned from the phone call with his father. Only the two bedside lamps lit the room, casting a soft, muted glow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe?\u201d Nick called gently, assuming she had fallen asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the voice didn\u2019t come from the bed\u2013it came from behind him. Turning around, he saw her curled up on the wide sofa, absorbed in a game on her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sitting up, the blanket slipped off her shoulders. Her hair was half-dry, cascading over her chest, and her loose white lace sleepwear draped over her delicate frame. She looked like a soft, fragrant porcelain doll.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you on the sofa?\u201d Nick asked, loosening the collar of his shirt as he sat beside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her subtle fragrance enveloped him, easing the tension in his br\u00f3w, Almost instinctively, he wrapped an arm around her waist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was waiting for you,\u201d Khloe said, her eyes sparkling. \u201cAre you done talking with your dad?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick buried his chin in her shoulder, letting the fatigue accumulated over the day slide off him. His breaths deepened slightly before he murmured, \u201cTalking to him\u2026 it\u2019s exhausting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe didn\u2019t reply, only lifted her hand to gently stroke his hair, a soothing gesture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen rest early.

He let out a small smile. \u201cTogether?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHuh?\u201d Khloe\u2019s eyes flickered. \u201cTogether what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSleep together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The room was dimly lit, but her flushed, burning face made the answer obvious.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, we\u2019re married now. Are you really planning to sleep apart from me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her voice was so soft it was almost a whisper, her head lowered and lips bitten in nervousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before she could finish, Nick lifted her effortlessly into his arms. Khloe gasped lightly and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He strode steadily across the room, placing her gently on the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his arms, she was as small and delicate as a fawn. Curled up in the vast bed, she looked fragile and endearing, the kind of vulnerability that made him want to protect and tease-her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Catching the flicker of her hesitation, Nick pinned her arms lightly and leaned down, lips close to hers. \u201cI\u2019ll go shower first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The heat radiating off him, mixed with a potent surge of pheromones, sent shivers of electricity coursing through Khloe from head to toe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 187 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 187 \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-26704","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\/26704","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=26704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26704\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
