Chapter 9

Zahara wasn’t surprised about how fast Carter moved. He had everything all set up before they even touched ground back in New York. She stared around at the new place they would be calling home for a little while as she finished her studies, which would take another year. They would become parents before she received her diploma.

He had found a two-story—a three-bedroom home with a large den for him and her to work in, with a small back yard that had a patio for BBQs and for them to have breakfast outside in the summer.

What she had been surprised by was that instead of renting a home, he had bought this one. He said he needed another place here anyway, as he was about to break ground on building his new hotel here. He had just received the permits to go ahead and had hired a developer, a team of engineers, and interior designers.

Zahara gazed around at the fully furnished home and felt Carter’s presence right behind her. He didn’t touch her but stood close. His presence was already affecting her; she craved his touch.

When she found out about the pregnancy, she had told them, but kept his name a secret because she didn’t want them to go to him and tell him she was pregnant until she was able too. She knew her parents would try and force a marriage between them, especially when they found out he was a Brooks.

Her parents had let their walls down and warmed up to him when they found out that he had been there to protect her and had helped to diffuse the situation at the ranch with the gunmen and the deranged trafficker who had been in love with Carter’s half-brother’s wife, Deana.

They had loosened up after hearing the details of the incident and thawed completely when Carter turned on the charm and let them know that he had the means and the wealth to take care of their daughter and his child. He planned on marrying their daughter and them being a family. He was even very attentive to her, but that was it. No kisses or touches to her body, just his caressing and talking to her belly.

She had enjoyed that part. He had been awkward at first, as if he
