Carlos's POV
I was stunned.
This felt like a trap—no matter what I said, I'd be wrong.
If I lied about having serious relationships before, Grace would assume she was just a rebound.
But if I told her the truth about being a playboy who switched partners regularly, she'd probably walk away immediately.
I was trapped with no good options.
Grace must have read my expression because she said, "You change partners frequently, don't you?"
I sighed. I wished she wasn't so perceptive—it would make this less complicated. Though I doubted I'd be this fascinated by her if she were some naive, gullible woman.
"Yes, I had plenty of casual hookups and one-night stands before meeting you," I admitted. I grabbed Grace's hands, wrapping them in my warm grip. "But you're different, Grace. I experience things I've never felt before—things I only feel with you."
