Reborn Second Chance With The Scheming Tycoon novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2 An Unexpected Connection

“Ouch…” Amelia Johnson groaned, forcing her eyes open.

Damien Taylor immediately released her, but in a sudden, impulsive move, Amelia threw her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.

It was her first kiss-clumsy, unpracticed, almost innocent.

What Damien didn’t expect was that it was his first, too. The moment their lips met, a raw, unfamiliar heat surged through him.

His mind went blank for a second before instinct took over, and he deepened the kiss.

Just as passion began to override reason, Damien pulled back abruptly.

He was breathing heavily. What the hell was that?

He’d always prided himself on his self-control. Since when did he lose his composure like this?

He quickly called a female attendant to help Amelia shower and change.

About fifteen minutes later, Amelia had dozed off again, now dressed in dry clothes.

When she woke, the first person she saw was Damien.

She stared, wide-eyed and disoriented.

“Relax, I’m not going to hurt you,” Damien said calmly from the sofa. Outwardly, he looked composed, but inside, he was still reeling-though he hid it well.

Then Amelia remembered-this man had saved her. She sat up, sincere gratitude in her voice. “Thank you.”

Damien gave a slight nod. “It was nothing.”

It was only then that she really took in his appearance-he was breathtakingly handsome, like someone who’d stepped out of a dream.

Honestly, he was the most striking man she’d ever seen, with an aura that was both copl and compelling.

She slipped off the bed and walked over, extending her hand. “I’m Amelia Johnson.”

“Damien Taylor,” he replied after a brief pause, shaking her hand.

That electric sensation returned-intense and heart-jolting.

Amelia checked the time, then picked up a pen and wrote a number on the notepad. “Mr. Taylor, here’s my number. Let me treat you to dinner sometime-you choose when and where.”
