Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 44

Whether it was out of gratitude towards Harvey or because of his charm, Eloise wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck. Under Harvey's gaze, she felt a warmth spread through her body. She mustered up her courage and asked, "Should we keep going?"

Suddenly, Harvey leaned in. He moved forward and she moved back. Eloise ended up lying down, barely managing to hold herself up. She didn't dare look at Harvey, and lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes cast shadows in the light, looking like little fans.

He caught one of her hands and placed it on his face to feel. "Ms. Laurent, do you like it?"

Eloise's eyes widened, and her face involuntarily turned red.

Harvey nuzzled her with his nose and confidently said, "Who's really taking advantage of each other here? You seem pretty into this."

"I'm not! I want to sleep." Eloise burrowed into the covers.

Harvey looked a bit disappointed. Actually, he had been really busy recently and was already tired. He was just momentarily attracted by Eloise in her black shirt, but then lost the mood to continue.

He tidied up the medical kit and then got into bed. Having someone else in bed was something he wasn't used to, so he simply pulled Eloise into his arms and intertwined their fingers.

Eloise was trapped in his embrace, not daring to move. She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she quickly fell asleep to his steady heartbeat. That night, she slept better than she had in a long while.

...

When she woke up, it was already eight in the morning. She suddenly sat up and saw that Harvey was already up, tying his tie at the side of the bed. He was wearing a dark blue shirt and grey trousers, looking mature and handsome.

Seeing that she was awake, Harvey casually said, "I'll be heading out in a bit! Go home and pack your things during the day. I'll pick you up tonight."

Eloise replied softly, "Wouldn't it be better if I just come over when you want me?"
