Tiana Thorne stirred a bit, then placed her ear against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
One beat after another, quickly.
His slightly husky, incredibly sexy voice came from above: "Baby."
This term of endearment surprisingly made her heart flutter. She couldn't help but nuzzle her head gently against his chest, playfully whining, "Hm?"
"From now on, this heart will beat for you."
Upon hearing this, warmth filled Tiana's heart, and she giggled: "Okay."
Who would've thought, when Fourth Brother speaks such sweet words, he's quite charming.
He stroked her earlobe, smoothed her hair, and then kneaded her small hand. Each little gesture became especially tender this morning.
With a raspy voice, he asked again, "Does it hurt?"
Tiana murmured an affirmative before speaking, "Of course it hurts; try being a woman in the next life?"
Aiden Shaw chuckled, caressing her little fingers, "Do you want to be with me in the next life?"
