Johnny’s jaw tightened… just a fraction—but Charlotte saw it. The subtle flex of muscle, the way his eyes narrowed ever so slightly. He didn’t explode. He never did. That was one of the things she loved most about him: his anger was quiet, controlled, lethal in its precision.He crossed the space in three long strides, the paper bag from the Thai place swinging lightly in his left hand. Without breaking eye contact with Ramon, he set the bags on the counter with deliberate calm, then slid his right arm around Charlotte’s waist and tugged her gently but firmly against his side. The movement was protective, possessive, and utterly natural.“Hey, baby,” he said, voice low and warm, as though he’d walked into a perfectly ordinary Wednesday evening and not a standoff. He dipped his head and pressed a soft kiss to her temple, lingering just long enough for the gesture to register. “Everything good?”Charlotte leaned into him instinctively, the solid warmth of his body chasing away the chill

But Chloe didn’t want to talk. Not about her mom, not about the pain she was feeling in her heart. She surged forward, capturing Karina’s mouth in a fierce kiss. It was hungry, raw and teeth clashing, tongues tangling as Chloe poured every ounce of her turmoil into it. Karina gasped against her lips but melted instantly, her arms wrapping around Chloe’s neck, pulling her even closer.They stumbled backward into the living room, hands roaming. Chloe’s fingers dug into Karina’s hips, lifting the hem of her T-shirt to reveal the soft curve of her ass, and she noticed Karina wore no panties underneath. “Jeez, you’re not wearing anything” Chloe's eyes widened and she moaned, breaking the kiss to trail her mouth down Karina’s neck, sucking hard enough to leave a mark.Karina arched into her, moaning softly. “I wanted to surprise you… but this… Chloe, you’re shaking. Tell me what is wrong”“Later” Chloe murmured, nipping at her collarbone. “Just… let me have you. Please”Karina nodded, her

“I love you baby" he whispered.Charlotte felt herself go totally still. But the tear in her eyes continued to slide down her cheeks. This was the first time he ever spoke these words to her and her heart felt like iced crystals were being poured on it. It feels so good to finally hear those words from him. Really good.Noticing the tears sliding down her cheeks, he gently cupped her face and used his thumb to clean the tears away.“Don't cry baby girl. It's my fault for not saying these words earlier. But I have loved you since the day I set eyes on you and that day at the pool was just the beginning of something permanent for me and you. I was very sure of it." He cleaned more tears from her face "so done be sad… I didn't mean to make you cry" She shook her head "I'm not sad” she sniffed and raised her head up to stop the flow of tears “I'm just… happy. I love love. And all my life I dream of having something special like this with someone. I have only ever been in one relationship

Charlotte shook her hand, warmly and firmly “Hello, Sonia. It’s really nice to meet you. And wow… you do an incredible job here. This place is so beautiful and so well kept and managed”Sonia’s smile turned a little shy and pleased. “Nature keeps it beautiful. We just help maintain the beauty”The “we” caught Charlotte’s attention. She remembered Johnny had mentioned a groundskeeper… Mr. Harrison, she thought. “Do you and the other person come on different days?”Sonia’s mouth twisted in a small, telling grimace. “We actually do come in on the same days. He’s outside right now… probably pretending to check the dock for the hundredth time or he is probably trimming some flowers which don't need his attention”Charlotte noted the subtle shift in tone, the way Sonia’s eyes flicked toward the window then away again. “Oh… does he—”Sonia stepped forward quickly, taking Charlotte’s hand with easy familiarity. “Let’s not talk about that big head. He isn’t important right now” She guided Char

Charlotte gave Sonia a little wink as they passed her.They nearly bumped into Sammy in the doorway… he was making his way in, tools in hand from whatever outdoor task he’d been handling. He was Johnny's sturdy man in his early-thirties, with salt-and-pepper hair and a kind looking face.“Mr. Wellington” Sammy said, inclining his head respectfully. “Miss…” and just like Sonia, he trailed off unsure what to address her asJohnny nodded. “Baby, meet Sammy Harrison… Sammy, this is Charlotte, my woman”“Hello” Sammy said, offering a polite smile.Charlotte returned it warmly. “It’s nice to meet you, Sammy”“Same here”“Alright” Johnny cut in smoothly, not liking that his baby girl was smiling kindly to another man “I think you should go to Sonia and amend what’s broken between you two. She looks like she could pour something hot on you right now at any little provocation… You should go back to where you are coming from if that is what you intend to do”Sammy chuckled ruefully, rubbing the
