Brian's mouth was truly something else. As soon as he made that call, Damian came running.
Isabelle had always thought Damian just wanted a wife to check a box. With his usual unapproachable, poker-faced demeanor, he didn't seem like the type to be a doting husband, let alone a lovesick fool.
But ever since they got the marriage certificate, it was like he became a different person.
Damian tilted his head, looking at her, his gaze settling on her flushed cheeks. "Ready to go home?"
Isabelle asked, "Don't you need to go back to the hospital?"
Damian replied, "She's out of danger. We hired a private nurse."
"Oh." She nodded slightly.
"So, home?"
"Yeah."
Damian bent down, scooped Isabelle up in his arms, and hooked her high heels with his fingers.
She automatically wrapped her arms around his neck, turned her head, and buried her face in the crook of his shoulder. She greedily inhaled his scent—still that same, deeply reassuring smell.
I think I'm getting used to him carrying me like this.
He took the back exit. It was empty.
"Brian's still at the party." She suddenly remembered.
"Already called him a ride-share," Damian said.

Back at the villa, he carried her straight to the bathroom.
"You go first, I'll..." Isabelle tried to struggle free, but he pulled her back.
"Honey, water isn't free..." Damian whispered.
She wasn't wearing shoes. Standing barefoot on his feet, the hot water quickly soaked through both their clothes.
"Undo it..." He paused, his voice incredibly hoarse.

Damian held her tightly and fell asleep almost immediately.
Isabelle looked at the man so close to her, reached out to touch the two-day stubble on his chin, and frowned.
Then she let out a soft laugh, poked his lips, and began carefully tracing the lines of his face with her finger.
His eyes slowly opened, deep and glistening.
Isabelle froze. His breathing was so steady, I thought he was asleep. How can he fake it so well?
Aurora watched his broad shoulders and narrow waist, the veins standing out on the wrist he had tucked in his pocket. So damn sexy.
