Damon stared down at Chloe, drew her close and hugged her, his head resting on her forehead, his large hand gently stroking her waist, slowly creeping under her pajamas.
Chloe bit her lip tightly.
Damon leaned in close to her ear, kissing her flushed earlobe, whispering softly, "Chloe...I want you..."
His warm breath fanned her face, his deep, magnetic voice full of desire. His straightforward confession nearly made Chloe unable to resist him. But she couldn't.
She grabbed his hand that was trying to touch her chest, looked up at him, her starry eyes making Damon feel soft.
"Damon, we can't keep doing this..."
Damon's desire-filled face instantly stiffened. "We can't keep doing this?"
Chloe hesitated, nodded, and couldn't bear to look at his expression.
About the pregnancy, she felt that she should confirm with the hospital before telling him. On the other hand, she was worried that telling him now would disappoint him. And most importantly, he was injured.
Finally, Chloe resolutely nodded her head. "Yes, we can't keep doing this."
Damon tightly gripped her waist. "But I want you now."
His attitude was like that of an unreasonable child.No one could imagine the proud, gentlemanly CEO behaving like this. Even Chloe found it hard to believe.
Having been with him for a while, this man's actions were sometimes quite unpredictable. Yet also very real, and adorable.
She never thought that one day she would describe Damon as "adorable". Adorable Damon, adorable CEO! Chloe couldn't help but laugh.
Damon's face changed instantly, reaching out to pull Chloe into his arms, ready to lift her up. Seeing his movements, Chloe immediately knew his intentions. Her face darkened, and she dodged to the side.
Damon missed his mark, his long arm reached out, blocking Chloe's path. Chloe was pulled back into his arms, she didn't dare to struggle hard, but Damon was holding her too tightly. She was angry and frustrated, and suddenly slapped his shoulder.
Damon's body stiffened. His face also became stiff.
Chloe said angrily, "Why did you stop hugging?"
Damon turned his eyes, staring deeply at her for a while. "...When did you find out?"
Chloe pushed him away and walked to the edge of the bed without any expression.
"Don't think I will be touched because you hid it from me for my sake."
Hearing Chloe's words, Damon immediately knew something was wrong. He walked over to her, and looked down at her, his voice no longer harsh, but somewhat comforting. "I didn't hide it from you to make you feel touched."
Chloe clenched her lips and ignored him. Damon pulled Chloe into his arms, holding her tightly, and gently kissed her lips. "I'm really sorry, Chloe."
Chloe looked at him, her eyes filled with tears. "Do you know, if I hadn't found out that you were injured, I would have blamed you for letting me go so easily? You didn't even come to find me for several days. Do you know what I might have thought? Damon, don't lie to me anymore."
As Chloe spoke, tears poured out like a broken dam. Damon suddenly felt helpless; he found that he always made this strong woman cry. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again, it's my fault..."
Damon held Chloe tightly, and cuddled in his arms, she finally let the tears flow.
Chloe was also surprised, why would she cry? Actually, Damon didn't do anything excessive to her. If it was before, she would have just let it go. But why today, had she become so persistent?
Thinking about it, her recent emotions had indeed changed. But it was okay, it was all because of the baby that was about to be born.
Thinking of the child in her belly, Chloe's mood suddenly improved.
Damon was thinking about how to comfort Chloe but heard her suddenly laugh. He was a bit confused. His woman didn’t have a mental problem, did she? "Chloe, what's wrong?"
