Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 131

On the plane, Clara was too sleepy to resist and fell fast asleep, cuddling tightly to Alex.

Emmett looked over a few documents, sorting out what he needed to do at the office after the plane landed. He then got up to check on them and found them sound asleep, so peaceful and sweet.

He smiled slightly, then bent over to tuck them in.

Suddenly, Emmett heard Clara stirring and mumbling something in her sleep.

He paused, then leaned in to listen.

Was she calling out Elio's name?

Emmett felt his blood rush in reverse. He wanted to shake the woman in front of him awake and ask her what the deal was with her and Elio. Why was she calling out his name in her sleep?

But as his hand was halfway out, he retracted it.

Seeing Clara sleeping so peacefully and Alex happily nuzzling against her, he couldn't bear to wake her up.

Emmett hesitated for a few seconds, then turned to leave.

Suddenly he heard Clara's voice from behind, "Uh! Mr. Melendez, what are you doing here? Where am I?"

"Aren't you awake yet?" Emmett frowned, "We're on a plane heading home."

Clara rubbed her eyes, her memory slowly coming back.

"Ah, how much longer till we get home?"

Clara, of course, couldn't stand his teasing. Her cheeks were flushed like a ripe peach!

Emmett could no longer control himself; he undid his shirt's buttons.

After a passionate encounter, Clara lay on his bed, panting heavily.

Emmett calmly and elegantly buttoned up his shirt. His elegance was such that it was hard to believe he had just.

"Why did you call out Elio's name? You still haven't given me an explanation."

Clara widened her eyes and blinked, "I... I don't know! I was really asleep then!"
