A glint of delight flashed in Damon's eyes as he leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Go rest on the bed for a bit."
Seeing Chloe nod in agreement, he turned and headed for the bathroom.
By the time he emerged, Chloe was already lying on one side of the bed. Her delicate silhouette on the sheets was like another presence in his territory.
Before meeting her, he could never have imagined all that was happening now,
That such a woman would appear in his life.
He glanced at the figure occupying a small corner, his lips moved slightly.
"Already asleep?"
Chloe was facing away from him, her fingers tightly clutching the blanket.
"No..."
Chloe's gentle voice echoed in the bedroom. The other side of the bed suddenly dipped as the blanket was lifted, a strong arm draped over her waist, with a gentle push, she was flipped into his arms.
She let out a yelp, instantly enveloped by the distinct masculine scent, a mix of fresh shower gel, warm moisture, and her own scent.
"Why so tense? Where's the courage you had before, huh?"
There was a hint of complaint in his voice.
She glanced up at him, resting her hand on his waist, giving a light pat.
"Be patient a little longer."
"I've been patient."
Chloe could hear his voice full of grievance, a twinge of guilt in her heart. She shifted her gaze, then said:
"Rose called me today, you asked me to join the perfume competition with Keira?"
His hand slowly relaxed on her waist, allowing her to rest on his arm.
