Grace's POV
My gut reaction to his words was an immediate yes. I'd never felt this desperately wanted before—I was practically starving for affection at this point.
This man had a gift for stealing my breath with that smoldering intensity in his gaze. He declared he wanted both me and my baby like he actually meant every word.
Yet something nagged at me about Carlos's true motives. My instincts screamed that things weren't adding up.
Somehow, I couldn't reconcile this man with the one I'd spent that passionate night with. This version felt calculated compared to the Carlos from that evening. They seemed like completely different people.
So I hesitated.
Before I could utter a word, Carlos crushed his mouth against mine. It took several heartbeats before reality hit and I started fighting back. I shoved against Carlos's chest, but he was far too powerful for me.
Carlos finally released me after taking what he wanted.
