Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 207

Terence, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, whispered, "Carla, haven't I made it clear already? Why do you still insist on leaving?"

"You're the one who said it yourself. You said that you needed to get some rest. So, I'm just gonna go back to my room as well. Or are you planning to throw me out of the villa?"

teased Carla. This had not been a good day for her whatsoever, and the same went for Terence.

But it appeared as though she had underestimated him a bit. If he wasn't feeling good, then the two of them were in the same boat.

Turning her around, Terence pushed her into the door. Holding her chin on one hand, he pressed his lips intensely upon hers without a warning, as if to give her some kind of punishment.

"Te..."

"Call me dear husband! I won't be accepting anything less!" Terence demanded, leaning back for just a brief second. Wasting no time at all, he continued biting her lip. Of course, he had no intention of hurting her, but certainly couldn't let her have the pleasure at the same time.

"No... Why would I do that?!" Carla blurted out in refusal, barely able to get away from his passionate kiss. "We're not married yet."

Terence loosened his grip. However, he grabbed her chin and lifted it up a little and asked, "Which law is it that states you shouldn't call me your husband before we get married?"

Carla took that window of opportunity to take a deep breath as she glared at him through her moistened eyes. "Look, could you please just let me get some rest? It's getting way too late. I still have to go job hunting tomorrow, so I need to get some much-needed sleep right now."

There was just no way she could simply stay home all day and do nothing. She desperately needed to be in the company of others.

Upon hearing that she was still intent on going to sleep, Terence heaved a heavy sigh and questioned her, "Carla, was the kiss still much too gentle for you?"

Then, he positioned her face closer to his again, and pressed his luscious lips onto hers, gradually heading south.

"Terence, what do you think you're doing?"

'We're going through this again?'

There was really nothing Carla could hope to do about Terence's sexual appetite. And he had actually gone a step further this time, not just on the lips, but even on...

Terence was bringing out all of his techniques just to somehow get her turned on, and didn't give her what she wanted.

He tried checking with her again, "So, how about now? Do you still plan to return to your room?"

Carla had to catch her breath, but she didn't bother trying to stop him anymore. Shooting him a quick cold stare, she turned off the lights and slithered onto his body and finally gave in to him.

Under that faint moonlit night, Terence's gaze had been completely fixated on Carla's gleaming eyes. Under his breath, he whispered, "Carla, I thought about something, if you were to have been in Erica's protection, I mean, you becoming the daughter of a maid, or even the daughter of some murderer, I would still love you nonetheless.

In my eyes, Erica doesn't mean anything. As I've been telling you time and time again, I love you and only you."

There was always gonna be just one Carla. She was so unique and much too precious to him.

Nobody could hold a candle to her!

Carla murmured. Burning with intense desire, she had already gotten in way too deep that she couldn't process a single word he said. All she longed for then was to get laid on that bed and mess up those sheets.

Right then and there, Terence had finally managed to get her engine running.

Feeling her insatiable hunger, Terence grinned and carried her over to the bedroom.

——

The morning after, the sunlight peered through the curtains, filling in the room with light. Carla was still sleeping on the bed.

Last night she stayed up way too late, and got herself so exhausted.

So much so that she didn't have the strength to even get up, let alone go job hunting.

Rubbing her eyes, Carla let out a bitter chuckle. The moment she actually fully opened her eyes, she realized it was already high noon.

Her sluggishness began to kick in.

'I just left my previous workplace. Why should I be in such a hurry to find a new one? It would be best for me to get some much needed rest before I worry about that, ' Carla thought to herself.

At the thought of that, Carla made up her mind and went back to sleep, without having any sense of guilt at all.

When she decided that she had gotten enough rest already, she sprung up from the bed to take a shower and got herself dressed up before heading downstairs, feeling quite reinvigorated.

"Carla, you're finally awake,"

Sean remarked, dashing into the house upon noticing her. "Carla, would you mind telling me just what happened last night? You woke me up all of a sudden and asked me to leave. I just don't get it, and I've been wondering about that all day."

Carla felt up her neck as she looked around and cleared her throat. "What do you think? Is there anything else it could possibly be? Terence and I got into a fight."

There was no other way she could put it.

"Oh! So that's why! Carla, was it your fault? Terence has always been treating you so well. Do you intend to make a scene again this time?"

Sean pried, carrying a basketball in his hand. He gave her a judgmental look, as though he knew everything.

"Hey, little man, are you forgetting that I'm your sister? Just whose side are you on anyway?" With the way he reacted, Carla flicked his forehead for having Terence's back.

Rubbing his forehead, Sean pouted and commented with a serious tone, "Carla...

I'm glad that you're finally back. I don't think you have any idea just how much I've missed you while you were gone. Terence had been taking good care of me, but he wouldn't ever be able to compare to you. You're my one and only sister. You're precious to me. And I could never live without you.

There were times when I would be left alone in here that I was seriously pondering about going back to BH City to be with you so many times."

Sean suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia and became so emotional, something which caught Carla by surprise. So, she put down the glass of water she was holding onto the table and walked over closer to him.

Sean was a stubborn boy who usually wouldn't act so sentimental no matter what.

He was truly afraid after Carla had gone for so long this time.

"Sean, I promise I won't be leaving this time around! And even if I would have to go back to BH City every now and then, it will only be a couple of days at best. I swear I won't leave you alone for such a long time ever again."

Carla pinched Sean's cheeks. It looked like he had grown much taller and became even more handsome during her absence. "Alright, Sean. I'll tell you what. How about I take you out this afternoon? Would you like that?"

She smiled at him so lovingly with such doting eyes. She felt a pang of guilt for not being there for him for a considerable amount of time, and now, more than ever, would be the best time to make up for the lost time.

Sean grew up having no parent figures. So, being his sister, and the only family he has left, she thought she should be spending more time with him.

"Em! Carla, to tell you the truth, while you were away, Terence actually brought me along to a shooting club. I found that absolutely exciting, and it would be great if I could go there again. I would love it if you could ask Terence to take us there," Sean requested.

Sean had a blast in the shooting club last time when he went with Terence that he would always look forward to going there again. For that reason, when Carla offered to hang out with him somewhere, it was the first idea that came into his mind.

"It's possible that Terence might be doing something this afternoon. I'll just have to take you somewhere else then," Carla replied. She hadn't seen Terence all morning. Who knew where he could have gone?

"Who was it that said I might be busy?"

When Carla was just about done talking, Terence walked in on the front door, his dark eyes filled with excitement. "Sean, I'll take you to the shooting club, and we'll also bring your sister along with us this time. It's possible she hasn't ever seen a real gun before in her life."

Then, shifting his gaze over to Carla, he explained ever so softly, "Carla, I'm sorry I had to leave so early. I just didn't want to bother you. Something was up in the company this morning. I'll just make it up to you in the afternoon."

Carla turned her head and then proceeded to grab Sean to wash his hands and get ready for lunch. But before walking away, she said, "I don't need it. Why don't you just spend time with your Erica instead?"

Sensing that jealousy was spilling all over the place, Terence approached her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, whispering straight into her ear, "You never said anything about that last night. Just who was it that crept onto me like a koala bear last night, begging me for more?"

Carla became flushed red in an instant. That was then and this is now. Those were two completely unrelated things.

"Carla, Erica is also going to be there. Who knows? Maybe this is a chance for you two to get to know each other better," Terence added. He didn't want Carla to have any weird ideas about his relationship with Erica. He was the one who got himself into this mess, so he needed to find a way to smooth things out.

Taking one big gulp, Carla turned around to give him an intense glare.

'Please tell me he didn't just say that, ' thought Carla to herself. She was at such a loss for words that she actually wondered whether her ears had been playing tricks on her.
