Chapter 82
Their breaths were mingling, so close that they could each feel the warmth of the other’s breath. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Chloe’s heart was about to leap out of her chest. She wanted to push him away, but he was so close that there was no room to flinch.
All she could do was lean back, but Damon moved in closer, their noses almost touching.
His scent enveloped her.
Chloe finally couldn’t help but put her hand on Damon’s shoulder.
“Damon.”
She tried to stop him, but before she could get the words out, her lips brushed against his.
The cool temperature, the soft sensation.
Damon’s eyes narrowed slightly, the brief contact making her nervous.
It was over before it even started, leaving a frustrating sense of regret.
The sight of those red, moist lips, the intoxicating fragrance, it was all too tempting
Chloe’s hand on his shoulder clenched into a fist.
What the hell.
Was that considered her making the first move?
Damon lowered his gaze and unbuckled her seat belt.
“If I hadn’t brought you here tonight, I would’ve definitely responded to that kiss.”
“But bringing you to my place is already making you uncomfortable. If I took advantage of that, I wouldn’t be a gentleman…”
After saying that, Damon paused and chuckled, “Even gangsters have their principles.”
Chloe’s tension gradually faded.
Damon then got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“Welcome to the gangster’s lair. I have kidnaped you. Let’s go, the future first lady of the gang.”
Chloe blushed a little but got out of the car.
She took a quick look around – mountains and water surrounded the place.
She pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, “The location does make it seem like a typical gangster’s den.”
Damon grinned, “Then you better be careful. There’s no turning back once you’re in.”
He led Chloe into the main house, where several servants stood respectfully.
“Prepare a guest room,” Damon ordered.
“Yes, sir.” The servant went off to do as told.
“It’s getting late. You will stay in the guest room tonight. Tomorrow, you can look around, and you can choose to live in a few villas in the backyard.”
“But, I can’t, Damon. Tonight is enough.”
Damon turned around, his voice frosty.
“I’ve been trying to avoid making you uncomfortable. Letting you choose a villa is the biggest concession I can make. You’re in the back. I’m in the front. we’re not under the same roof. It’s a safe distance. What else are you worried about?”
*1…” Chloe bit her lip, frowning slightly. that wasn’t what she meant.
Damon moved closer, gently brushing her hair off her shoulder, and looked at her intently.
“Don’t feel embarrassed. consider it as getting familiar with the place. Sooner or later, all of this will be yours.” Chloe looked up at him, her lips moving but not making a sound, her clear eyes revealing a hint of helplessness. Damon smiled, “Don’t look at me like that. If you dare to reject me, I don’t mind doing what a gangster should do
