Chapter 79 You Seem to Have Fallen for Me
Carolineâshe was the woman David had chosen as his wife.
Whether or not he loved her didnât matter. She was his, in every sense of the word.
How dare she think about Nash? How could she?
If Caroline had kept her feelings buried, he might have overlooked them.
But instead, she had spoken Nashâs name so naturally while halfâasleep in the bath.
David couldnât bear it.
No man could tolerate such an insult.

His rage wasnât out of affection or jealousy; it was about possession. Caroline belonged to him and him alone.
The sudden shift from warm water to the cool air made Caroline shiver, her shoulders instinctively curling inward.
She was soaked, exposed, and vulnerable.
âWhy so quiet?â David demanded. âIs it because youâve never truly forgotten Nash?â
Caroline bit her lip and replied, âYes.â
Davidâs eyes narrowed, his expression turning icy.
âYes,â she repeated, her voice firm. âI havenât forgotten him, and I donât see why I should. What does it matter to you?â
âIâm your husband!â David barked.
Caroline stared straight at him. âYou can dictate my actions, but my heart is beyond your reach.â
There was no use trying to explain herselfâhe had already heard everything. She decided to confront him headâon.
Breaking free from his grip, she picked up her robe, wrapped it around her, and stepped out of the tub to face him.
âWhy does it bother you so much who I love?â she asked, stepping closer. âCould it be⦠youâre in love with me?â
She reached out and poked his chest, right where his heart beat beneath his shirt.

âThey say men only get jealous and possessive when theyâre in love. They start worrying about whether a womanâs heart is truly theirs. David, everything about your behavior right now shows that youâve fallen for me. It seems⦠you just donât realize it yet. So let me point it out for you. Now, will you let these feelings take over, or will you try to suppress them? Either way, Elizabeth wonât be happy about it.â
Carolineâs wet hair dripped onto her robe, which hung loosely on her figure. Her makeupâfree face radiated a fresh, natural beauty.
Unknowingly, she looked irresistibly enchanting.
Davidâs breathing grew heavier.
Her sharp words left him momentarily speechless.
But he quickly recovered, his expression hardening. âMe? In love with you?â
âIsnât that whatâs happening?â Caroline asked, her chin tilting up. Her lips lingered near his, close enough to tease but never touching.
A faint, intoxicating scent lingered around her, teasing Davidâs senses.
âAnd what exactly do I love about you?â he sneered. âDo you think youâre worthy of me?â
âBut you seem to care,â she challenged. âOtherwise, why would you react this way just because I said Nashâs name?â
David reached out, pulling her into his arms with a firm grip. Leaning down, he whispered into her ear, his voice deep and commanding.
âForget the word âlove.â Thatâs not what this is about.â
Forget âloveâ?
Then what he meant wasâ¦
He desired her.
Carolineâs eyes widened, but before she could protest, Davidâs scorching lips brushed against her collarbone, sending heat coursing through her skin.
