Chapter 467 An Offer of Comfort

Damian refused bluntly. “No. I want to hold you while I rest for a bit.”

Scarlett frowned. “Damian, we’re in a store. You can’t sleep here.”

“This is my mall,” he said. “I can do what I want. But the condition is that you stay with me.”

He leaned most of his weight against her. Feeling the strain, Scarlett suggested, “Let’s go to the car then.”

At the mention of the car, Damian’s eyes lit up. “Go to the car to sleep?”

His words clearly carried a double meaning, but Scarlett chose to ignore it.

“Yes,” she said flatly. “To sleep.”

Damian knew she was humoring him, but he couldn’t help a low chuckle.

After a moment, he finally turned around. “Get dressed first then.”

Seeing he had no intention of leaving the fitting room, Scarlett felt an uneasy flutter.

But she knew arguing was pointless, so she simply began dressing behind him.

Damian didn’t turn, but the soft rustling of fabric behind him sent his thoughts spinning.

Even without seeing her, his imagination filled in the rest-the curve of her collarbone, the swell of her breasts, the dip of her navel, the slope of her waist…

Everything about her.

To Damian, Scarlett seemed dusted with some intoxicating pollen, a fatal allure that could undo him completely.

Soon, Scarlett finished dressing. She finally turned to look at Damian’s broad back.

She had half-expected him to peek, but surprisingly, he hadn’t so much as glanced over his shoulder.

For a moment, her heart clenched with an unnameable tightness.

Pushing the feeling aside, she spoke softly, “Damian, I’m ready.”

Hearing her, Damian turned around. The moment his eyes landed on her face, he stilled.

“You…”

His expression darkened almost instantly, a clear displeasure settling over his features.

Scarlett looked at him, confused. “What is it?”

Damian stared into her eyes, his tone edged with annoyance. “Who said you could wear makeup today?”

Only then did Scarlett remember she had applied makeup that morning.

She didn’t understand his objection. “I put it on because I was taking Vanessa to school.”

“Still not allowed,” Damian grumbled, his unhappiness evident.

Scarlett didn’t want to argue. “Do you still want to rest or not?”

Hearing that, Damian flashed a wicked grin. “Looks like someone’s getting impatient.”

Scarlett caught his meaning and shot him a look. “You know what I meant.”

The roguish glint in his eyes deepened. He leaned down until they were eye to eye. “Of course I know. I know exactly.”

He was deliberately twisting her words.

Scarlett ignored him, pushed open the fitting room door, and walked out.

Damian caught up and took her cool hand in his.

“It’s cold out,” he chided. “You should’ve worn more.”

Scarlett tried to pull her hand back, but after a few attempts, she gave up.

Damian’s smile widened when her resistance faded.

When they reached the underground parking garage, Scarlett slid into the back seat of Damian’s car. Damian settled beside her.

Once inside, he stretched out, resting his head in her lap.

He was tall, but curled this way, he seemed perfectly comfortable.

Scarlett looked down at him. He faced her abdomen, his warm, steady breath ghosting over

the fabric of her clothes.

Her heart fluttered, and her body tensed.

Damian knew she was watching. He opened his eyes, glanced up at her, then complained, “Don’t just stare. Touch me too.”

His words left her flustered, and she stayed silent.

Seeing no reaction, Damian wasn’t angry. He even chuckled. “Not taking me up on the offer?”

Scarlett’s cheeks flushed. “You’re… shameless.”

Damian laughed. “Since you know I’m shameless, then cooperate. Touch me. Otherwise, I’ll have to touch you instead.”

There was a clear threat in his tone.

Hearing this, Scarlett gritted her teeth and reached for Damian’s abdomen.

Her fingers brushed over the defined lines of his muscles. The hard, corded strength beneath made her shiver slightly.

Lower down was-

Scarlett didn’t stop; her hand drifted lower.

But at the last moment, Damian suddenly caught her wrist. “What are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me?”
