A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1174

She had indeed become quite obedient, but her hands still clung tightly to his hair, refusing to let him go, as if it were her personal self-defence weapon.

Hailey had gotten her guard up, but she was feeling safe. She got a feeling this guy holding her won't harm her, so she let go of his hair, curled her hand around his neck, and settled down comfortably in his arms.

Cedric's a big guy and Hailey's kinda petite. She looked like a doll hanging on him when she settled down.

He was holding this "doll" carefully, walking into the elevator, heading to the underground parking lot, and putting her in the passenger seat, fastening her seatbelt.

Then he drove, while sneaking glances at her. Seeing her hair all messy and her sleeping peacefully, he couldn’t help but smile.

As the smile crept up his face, he reached over with his long fingers, brushed her hair off her face, and lightly touched her cheek...

It's just a light touch, but she grabbed onto it like it's her favorite pillow at home, holding it tightly...

Cedric's fingers accidentally touched her soft chest, and he instinctively pulled back. His calm heart was now in a turmoil...

He glanced at the traffic light, then at Hailey, wishing she'd wake up and grab his hair...

Ignoring his desire, Cedric drove one-handed to Hailey's home.

He tried to pull his hand back, but the sleepy girl wouldn’t let him go.

A bit helpless, he unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned over, and whispered,

"Hailey, if you don't let go, I might do something intimate to you in the car."

This seemed to work a bit, as Hailey loosened her grip.
