Do You Still Love Me When We Meet Again? (Aubrey and Damon) novel Chapter 126

Chapter126.

Aubrey was preoccupied on the drive home.

She drove, with Damon in the passenger seat.

Dusk settled, streetlights flickered to life, and the city’s neon signs began to glow.

Damon leaned back in his seat, turning to gaze at her delicate profile. “Bree,” he said softly.

“Hmm?” Aubrey kept her eyes on the road, focused on driving.

“Aren’t you curious about what Grandpa and I discussed?”

“If Grandpa called you into the study alone, it must be something I’m not meant to know. I’m not curious.”

“But I’m curious about what my cousin said to you.”

Aubrey frowned, “You saw us?”

“Yeah, I caught a glimpse of you two from a distance when I came out.”

Aubrey sighed, pausing in thought.“What he said was ambiguous, difficult to understand.”

“So, what did you hear?”

“A threat.”

Damon exhaled sharply, his tone hardening.“He’s really lost it.”

“When there’s money involved, everyone loses it.”

Damon gave a wry smile.

Aubrey suddenly swerved the car, pulling into a convenience store.“Wait here, I’m just going to grab something.” Damon looked at her, puzzled.“What are you getting?”

Aubrey unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car without a word, hurrying into the store with her purse. When she came out, she was still carrying her purse. She got back in, closed the door, and started the car.

Damon glanced around, not noticing anything new.“You got what you needed?”

“Yep.”

“What is it?”

Aubrey pulled a chocolate bar from her purse and offered it to him.“Want some?”

Damon chuckled softly and shook his head.“No, thanks.”

Aubrey’s eyes flickered, and she bit her lip with a shy smile, trying to hide her embarrassment by focusing on driving.

Her heart pounded, skipping beats.

It was evening when they arrived back at Blackwood Crescent.

The housekeeper wasn’t there, so Aubrey made noodles for them both. After dinner, they retreated to their separate rooms to shower.

Damon’s bone injuries weren’t fully healed, but he was more than capable of taking care of himself.

A gentle evening breeze stirred through the deep shadows of the courtyard.

After taking her antidepressant, showering, and drying her long hair, Aubrey stood outside Damon’s bedroom door in a white silk nightgown, a condom clutched tightly in her hand.

She stared down at her cute slippers, her hands clasped behind her back, the condom packet nearly crumpled from her grip.

She was torn about whether to go in.

She had been staying here for almost a month.

She knew she wanted this too, deep down.

But Damon’s thigh bone wasn’t fully healed yet, though his ribs were recovering quickly. What

he accidentally broke them again?

Aubrey’s head throbbed. She ulted her head back, taking a deep breath, and paced a few more steps before suddenly stopping

The warm yellow porch light cast a glow on her conflicted face. Her long hair danced in the breeze as she took a deep breath.

Whether she was on top or on the bottom, Damon’s thigh would definitely hear some weight

She couldn’t risk causing further injury.

Aubrey turned to leave when the door opened, and Damon’s voice, laced with exasperation, floated out, “Tve been waching you on the security cam for en minutes. Are you coming in or what?”

At his words, Aubrey spun around, flustered, her cheeks flushing as she looked at Damon leaning against the doorframe

Damon was wearing loose–fitting black silk pajamas, his short hair was half–dry, his handsome face gentle, his eyes smiling, radiating husband material vibes.

Aubrey’s heart skipped a beat, and she kept her hands hidden behind her back, afraid to bring them out. “Never mind, goodnight.”

Aubrey took a step backward, and Damon’s eyes darkened.“Bree, come back here.”

Aubrey blushed, a shy smile playing on her lips as she shook her head, backing away further from his room.

Come on, Bree. Be good.”

Aubrey stopped moving her feet, but her head continued to gently sway back and forth.

Her slender figure was outlined by the thin white nightgown, long hair cascading down her shoulders, a coy expression on her flushed face. She was still hiding something in her hands, and the fact that she’d been lingering outside his door made her intentions perfectly clear.

Like a moth drawn to a flame, there was no way he was letting her get away now.

Damon’s gentle tone was tinged with exasperation as he shifted forward, leaning on his crutch.“Bree, do you think I can’t catch you now that I’m injured? Is that why you’re deliberately provoking me?”

I’m not provoking you.”

Then come inside!”

I don’t think I should. Your thigh isn’t healed yet.”

Damon was tempted to toss the crutch aside and grab her, but instead he took a deep breath, coaxing her softly, “It’s really okay.”

I’m worried you’ll hurt yourself again.”

‘I won’t.”

‘Let’s wait two more months, okay? Didn’t the doctor say a thigh bone injury needs at least three months to heal?”

Two months. An eternity. For Damon, that was an agonizing prospect.

Especially since she was already wearing that dress.

Her stunning face and gorgeous figure had long since stirred his desires, setting his blood ablaze.

How was he supposed to sleep tonight if she didn’t come inside?

He parted his lips slightly, exhaling a hot breath, and nodded.“Okay, good night.” Then he closed the door.

Aubrey also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to head to her room.

Suddenly, a sharp crash echoed from inside Damon’s room, “Bang!”

Aubrey jumped, startled, and immediately turned back, knocking on Damon’s door.“Damon… what’s wrong?”

There was no response from within.

Panic rising, Aubrey quickly twisted the doorknob and stepped inside.

As she entered, the first thing she saw was his crutches tossed on the floor.

She glanced around, but Damon was nowhere in sight.
