Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 279

Damon’s tone carried a hint of grievance.

Nyla looked up, startled. “I was planning to finish up the experiment and then come to you.”

“Since I’m already here, why don’t you do it now? I’ve got another meeting soon,” Damon said.

“Alright, take off your shirt,” Nyla instructed.

As she prepared the fresh bandages and medication, she glanced up to find Damon’s bare torso before her. Her grip on the bandages tightened involuntarily.

His upper body was defined with perfectly sculpted ab’s, and his muscular back appeared both raw and masculine.

Noticing Nyla’s gaze fixed on his abs, Damon cleared his throat. “If you want to look, I can take it all off for you tonight. You can admire it all you want.”

His teasing tone made Nyla’s face flush instantly.

How embarrassing! She had actually zoned out while looking at his abs!

There was no way she was going to admit to something so mortifying, so she denied, “I was just thinking about something. I’ve seen plenty of men with abs. I wouldn’t get distracted by a few muscles.”

Damon raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And whose abs have you seen?”

“Too many to count. I’ve forgotten,” Nyla lied.
