My Two Billionaire Husbands: A Plan for Revenge-Chapter 177: Things I Want To Do With You

The moon was casting silver streaks across the room as a hushed tension thickened the air. Harry sat there, his eyes locked onto Eve with an intensity that made her breath hitch. His voice was soft, yet it carried the weight of a thousand emotions.

"Eve... what are you still afraid of? Don’t you trust me? Can’t you see that I am no longer the naive boy you once knew? I am a man now, a man who loves you. Am I not the one you want? Am I not the one you envisioned as Cassey’s father?

Because that’s who I was always meant to be. That’s who I am." His voice was marked with both tenderness and demand, filling the quiet space between them as he reached out, his fingers brushing away the stray locks of hair that had fallen over her face.

Eve inhaled sharply, her heart hammering against her ribs. "It’s just that—" she started, but Harry cut her off with a single finger to her lips, silencing her unspoken fears before they could fully form.

"Shh... Answer my question first. What are you afraid of?" His voice was soft, yet there was an underlying steel to it, a desperate need to understand what still held her back.

She swallowed hard, averting her gaze, her fingers twisting nervously at the hem of her dress. "I don’t want to be a burden to you. If your family finds out I’m back... if they discover that I never lost your child, they might take Cassey away.

They might hurt us... or worse, they might do something to you," she confessed, her voice trembling with the weight of her fears.

Harry’s hands cupped her face, forcing her to meet his gaze. "No, no, no, Eve. Look at me. I am no longer under their control. I am my own man, and I can protect you and Cassey.

Just say yes, just be with me, and I swear, I will protect our family with everything I have. Can you trust me this time?" His voice cracked slightly at the end, betraying the raw vulnerability he tried so hard to suppress.

Eve’s eyes burned with unshed tears. She closed them, took a deep breath, and then, with all the courage she could muster, she nodded. It was a small gesture, yet it carried the weight of years of longing, pain, and love.

Harry stared at her as if time had slowed, his heart hammering in his chest.

"Alright," she murmured, voice barely above a whisper. "I will trust you this time because... because I’m tired, Harry. Tired of pretending that I don’t love you. Tired of fighting what my heart has always known. I love you still, Harry... I always have."

His breath hitched, his entire body electrified by her words. A grin, wide and filled with uncontainable joy, spread across his face. He pulled her into his arms, holding her as if she was the very air he needed to breathe.

"I love you, Eve! You and Cassey... you’re my life. And I swear to God, I won’t let anything happen to either of you. I will protect you both with everything I have—even my life, if that’s what it takes."

Eve let out a small, breathless laugh, shaking her head. "That’s too much. No one is dying. I won’t allow it." Her voice, though gentle, was firm, unwavering. "I am no longer the fragile girl you once knew, Harry. I am stronger now. I am braver. I’ve had to be."

Harry smirked, a devilish glint in his eyes, and playfully pinched her nose. "I know, and I can see that very clearly. But you don’t have to be strong all the time, not anymore. I’m here now. You can rest, break down, scream, cry... I will be here, holding you, never letting you go."

Eve bit her lip, a small smile gracing her lips before she suddenly perked up. "Let’s go tell Cassey!" She turned to leave, but before she could take a single step, Harry grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into him.

She frowned slightly, her brows knitting together in confusion. "What?" she asked, tilting her head as she studied him.

Harry cleared his throat, suddenly looking sheepish. "Would it be... too much if I asked you to stay here with me just a little longer? Before we go to Cassey?"

Eve’s eyes narrowed slightly. "S-Sure... but we can also spend time together with Cassey, right?"

A slow, mischievous smirk spread across Harry’s face as he moved closer. His arm snaked around her waist, pulling her flush against him. His other hand traced a slow, tantalizing path up her arm, to her collarbone, grazing her skin ever so lightly before settling at the side of her neck. His thumb brushed her lower lip, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Silly," he murmured, his voice a husky whisper. "The things I want to do with you... It cannot be done with Cassey around. Let me show you."

Eve’s breath lashed as Harry’s lips descended upon hers. The kiss was slow, calculated, yet filled with a hunger that had been restrained for far too long. Her hands clutched at his shirt, pulling him closer as her body melted against his.

The years of separation, the longing, the aching desire—it all erupted in this moment, their bodies pressed together, their breaths mingling as the kiss deepened.

Harry’s hands roamed, tracing every curve, every dip, reacquainting himself with the woman he had yearned for. Eve moaned softly into his mouth, her fingers threading through his hair, tugging lightly as she surrendered completely to him.

"Harry..." she whispered breathlessly as they pulled apart, her forehead resting against his.

He cupped her cheek, his thumb caressing the softness of her skin. "Say my name again," he murmured against her lips, his voice drenched in longing.

She chuckled, but there was an undeniable heat in her gaze. "Harry..."

He groaned, capturing her lips once more, his hands gripping her waist possessively. "I missed you, Eve. More than words can ever say."

"Then show me," she whispered, her own hands daringly slipping beneath his shirt, her fingers tracing the ridges of his toned body.

Harry’s breath stuttered, a low growl escaping him. "Oh, I plan to, love. I plan to."

And as the night wrapped them in its embrace, two hearts that had long been separated finally found their way back to each other, tangled in a love that neither time nor fear could destroy.

Hi readers! I do apologize for the less updates lately, especially to the privilege readers. I was kinda demotivated lately because of the piracy happening right now. A reader messaged me on IG that one pirate site has my book, then the following day another reader messaged me on FB saying that 2 other pirate sites have my book.

Please don’t support these pirate sites. My books are only available in Webnovel, Cheareads, and Novabeats (All owned by Webnovel). Pirate sites kill the motivation of authors like me and also kill our income and family.

For other authors, writing is their bread and butter, so if these pirate sites steal their books, what will they feed their family? You can still read for free in Webnovel, Cheareads, and Novabeats using free passes or free coins, that way it will still be able to help the authors in views and the voting system while you read for free.

But don’t worry, I am trying my best to not think about it anymore and will publish more Chapters next week. Thank you for your understanding and support! Love you all! Mwah!
