Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1054

Chapter 1054 A Playful Tease

Sebastian was spot on; those folks had done everything correctly. They just knew her and ended up becoming friends.

So, because they were implicated because of her, it made sense for her to take on the responsibility of protecting them, right?

The first order of business was getting her memory back…

In that scenario, romance wasn't exactly her thing.

But now that she was in the loop, the fastest route to jog her memory!

The woman took a deep breath and gazed up at Damien. "Yes, that's it," she said.

Damien narrowed his eyes, his gaze intensifying. "And the reason?" he pressed.

"Because we're husband and wife! Because I love you!" she declared.

"That's not good enough," the man asserted, his grip tightening on her hand.

"You were dead set against this before," he reminded her.

Damien's icy gaze bore into her. "Why the sudden change of heart after talking to Sebastian?" he interrogated.

"What's gotten into you?" she shot back.

Cherise pursed her lips, momentarily at a loss for words. As the weight of the situation settled heavily upon her, she found it challenging to discuss the idea of using him to restore her memory.

She then raised her eyes, stubbornly and earnestly locking her gaze with his. "Don't ask," she insisted.

"I just want to be close to you," she murmured.

As she spoke, she leaned in toward him, her movements conveying a sense of urgency and longing.

Damien hesitated as he sensed her intent to lunge at him. He didn't want to cause her harm, but her determination made him cautious in his defense.

Despite his reservations, he could not resist the allure of a determined woman charging towards him.

In the end, he yielded to Cherise's relentless allure.

He gently cupped her chin, his icy gaze piercing hers. "Are you absolutely certain?" he inquired firmly.

She playfully pushed his hand away, her lips grazing his chin teasingly. "Yes, I'm sure," she affirmed, her desire evident in her voice and actions.

Faced with the irresistible allure of the woman he deeply loved, Damien, acknowledging his human frailty, ultimately succumbed to temptation.

The drawn curtains cast a dim glow across the room, the soft illumination of the wall lamp highlighting the scene as everything spiraled out of control.
