Kisses for the Billionaire: Final Kiss Read Online Free

urge to wipe him from existence. My heart beat spiked as I remembered what I’d done to his father, what he’d manipulated me into doing.
    The baby kicked.
    It was really just a tiny flutter against my stomach but I felt it. My hands automatically going to my bump.
    “What’s wrong? Carrie, is it the baby?” David sounded panicked and I shook my head.
    “She kicked…” I said, lifting my face to his as he crossed the room to where I stood.
    “Is she all right? Why did she kick?”
    Smiling at him I took his hand in mine and laid it across my stomach. It happened again, the tiniest of kicks as she shifted inside me. But it didn’t matter how small her movements were, she was moving and that was all that mattered.
    “She probably just likes listening to her Daddy’s voice,” I said.
    David dropped to his knees in front of me, both hands cupping either side of my belly as he kissed the bump.
    “Hi baby girl,” he said, speaking directly to my stomach.
    There would have been a time where I would have felt more than a little uncomfortable by David doing that. I hadn’t always been on the best of terms with my body and its appearance and sometimes David’s overly enthusiastic admiration for my more than ample frame left me a little overwhelmed. But not anymore.
    “I can’t wait to hold you in my arms, to meet you,” David continued. “Your Mom and I love you very much.” The baby gave a series of excited kicks and jumps and couldn’t help but giggle as David pressed his ear to my belly.
    “She likes you talking to her,” I said.
    David lifted his face to mine and smiled. “It’s all true,” he said, pushing slowly up onto his feet.
    “I know.”
    “When I watched them take you away, I think a piece of me died. I didn’t want to eat, to sleep, I was barely functioning as a human. All I wanted was to find you and get you back in my arms.”
    “I’m here now,” I said, brushing my fingers against the side of his face.
    “When I thought I’d lost you…” he trailed off his expression turning dark. “I would have done what they asked, I had everything lined up.”
    His words shocked me to my core and ice prickled in my veins.
    “I don’t understand,” I said, studying his face carefully.
    “The guy they wanted me to kill, I found him, he lives a few states over and…”
    “David, please tell me you didn’t hurt him, that you didn’t…”
    He shook his head and I released the tension that had been building between my shoulder blades.
    “You called me and that was it, I came for you instead. But I would have done it.”
    “It doesn’t matter, it’s over now.”
    He shook his head, “you see that’s the problem, it’s not over. Andy and Dominic still want me to kill the mark, they still expect a body on the ground and if I don’t provide one, then I’m afraid of the retribution.”
    “You can’t allow yourself to be afraid of retribution from a bunch of cowards like them. We can’t live like that but you also can’t stoop to their level.”
    “Carrie, what choice do I have?”
    “There’s always a choice, David, you and I both know that. All we need to do is find a way through all of this. And we will, we’re not going to let them beat us, not now, not ever.”
    He sighed and cupped my face with his hands, lowering his face to mine he pressed a feather light kiss against my lips.
    “I love how certain you are, it gives me courage that we will find a way through it all.”
    “We will…” he cut me off before I could continue speaking, his mouth crushing mine, the passion and ferocity in his embrace stealing my breath away.
    When he finally released me I was gasping for air, my chest rising and falling, each time I sucked in a deep breath it pushed my breasts tight against his rock hard chest.
    “I won’t ever lose you again, Carrie.”
    “You won’t…” I said, holding on to him as tightly as I could. My legs threatened to buckle beneath and still I clung to
