Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 85

The phone call came just as Harvey and Eloise had finished.

Eloise felt exhausted, but Harvey was still full of energy, teasing her gently with his arms around her waist.

Eloise couldn't help but bite her lip. "Stop it. I want to take a bath!"

Harvey was very considerate. He whispered in her ear, "I'll prepare your bath."

Eloise's ears were lightly pink, with a little fluff on them, utterly adorable. Harvey couldn't resist reaching out to touch them gently.

Eloise pulled the blanket over her face, not letting him touch it.

"Feeling shy? Wasn't it you who wouldn't let go of me just now?" Harvey picked her up and wrestled her out of the blanket.

He was going to tease her again.

"I don't feel well, let me take a bath," Eloise whispered.

Harvey chuckled, "Why are you so scared now?" He brushed her sweaty hair aside, kissed her forehead, and got up to leave.

Harvey was muscular, but Eloise dared not look.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

About five minutes later, Harvey came back to the bedroom to pick up Eloise, who was wrapped in a towel. "I'll go by myself," she said shyly.

Harvey didn't force her.

While she soaked in the tub, he took a quick shower.

Back in the bedroom, Harvey lit a cigarette leisurely, inhaling and exhaling slowly. The recent case was almost settled, and he started to relax.

Then, the phone on the bedside table rang.

Harvey frowned. Who would call him at this hour?

He held the cigarette to his lips, and answered the phone, his voice a bit muffled, "This is Harvey."

On the other end was Officer Ferris.
