Chapter 146
After breakfast, Chloe was still confused about last night.
Damon trotted upstairs again. Chloe wanted to tell him she had already made plans with Rose to go to the company today, but at last decided to sttay in the living room and
wait for Damon to come down.
Marina came over in a bit of a rush, holding a tray. “Ms. Summers, could you do me a solid and take this medicine up to the mister? I can’t leave the sauce I’m stewing in the kitchen.”
Chloe took the tray immediately, “No problem, I got this.”
Marina nodded gratefully and dashed back to the kitchen.
Chloe knocked on Damon’s door, and carefully stepped in with his permission.
Damon was standing in front of the wardrobe, fixing his tie. He glanced at her and stopped what he was doing.
“I’m here to deliver your medicine for Marina,” Chloe put down the tray.
Damon looked away and yanked off the half–done tie.
I can’t do this tie.”
Chloe walked up to him.
“Need help?”
He didn’t answer, but just handed the tie to her.
Chloe picked up his deep blue striped tie.
Damon was looking down at the woman in front of him.
Her skin was delicate and flushed, her nose upturned, long eyelashes cast down, lips slightly pursed, beautiful in her quietness..
The scent wafting off her was so light, so clean, he couldn’t help but move a bit closer to her.
Chloe froze, taking a couple of steps back.
Damon watched her, slowly closing in on her.
Chloe backed up again, but her back hit the wardrobe. There was no way out.
The regal man, with his aggressive aura, was making her heart flutter.
“Do you remember now?”
His deep voice dropped down on her, like a bass drum, shaking her heart and stirring up ripples.
“No, I might… need some more time…”
Damon’s hand suddenly landed on her waist, slowly tightening.
Chloe trembled, her hands instinctively landing on his shoulders. Before she could react, she heard Damon’s husky and sexy voice again.
“Do you need a reminder?”
Chloe, right now, just couldn’t look straight at Damon.
The man in front of her, his presence was just too overwhelming. He had no idea how much his closeness affected her.
Her hand on his chest pushed slightly, trying to push him away, but the man was like a mountain, unmoved.
Chloe felt a little deflated.
“Thanks, then.”
As the distance decreased, her light scent became more and more pronounced. The hand around her waist tightened silently.
“Lift your head, look at me.”
Chloe thought she was going to lose it. His deep voice sent a shiver down her spine.
She lifted her head.
Her forehead bumped into his chin.
His body bent towards her again.
His warm breath spilled onto her face, and is then inhaled into her own body.
“Just tell me. You don’t have to get so close…”
“I can’t explain in words.”
