Eloise was gently fiddling with her hair, regretfully saying, "I messed it up while sleeping."
Harvey cracked a smile.
He then said, "Send me the time and place. I've got things to handle in the next few days."
Eloise hurried back to her room to grab her phone and send him the information.
Harvey saved the details in his notes.
Looking up, he saw Eloise staring at him.
He knew she was quite taken with his looks, and he felt a hint of masculine vanity, playfully pinching her face, "Staring, huh? Why didn’t you dare to do it when I was in the shower?"
The charm of a mature man was evident in his smile and eyes.
Eloise's face turned red.
She pretended to clear away the dishes, but Harvey held her hand, "Let Marianna handle it tomorrow!"
Eloise could sense something in his tone, but she wasn't the type to make the first move, and he hadn't taken things any further with her, so she wasn't sure about his intentions.
Harvey carried her back to the master bedroom, and just like the previous night, he stopped after a simple intimacy.
Eloise was nestled against him.
He whispered in her ear, "We'll do the rest on Saturday, okay?"
Eloise was too shy to respond, burying her face in the crook of his neck. Having spent quite some time with him, she had a fair idea about his personality.
Harvey had a strong need for control.
Even in bed, he called the shots. When and how far they went was entirely up to him.
Eloise could only follow his lead.
As the night grew late, she fell asleep from exhaustion.
In the darkness, Harvey quietly watched Eloise's face.
His mood was off tonight, but having such a tender person taking care of him in his apartment, letting him do as he pleased, felt good to any man.
