Chapter 135:

Eileen quickly averted her gaze, unsure whether to continue down the stairs.

At that moment, Bryan had already removed his shirt and draped it over his shoulder. He began ascending the stairs, his intense gaze locked firmly on her.

Reeling instinctively, Eileen stepped back, forgetting her position on the stairs, and stumbled, landing awkwardly on a step.

She grimaced in pain and rubbed her backside, the sharp scent of alcohol wafting up to her as Bryan’s legs came into view.

Looking up, she saw his face drawing closer, his features sharp and his eyes slightly clouded. His lips had a glossy sheen.

“‘Eileen?” Bryan sounded confused as he reached out to touch her face, leaning closer.

“‘Mr. Dawson,” Eileen murmured softly, grasping his wrist with both hands. “You’re drunk. Let me help you to your room to rest.”

Bryan offered no resistance as Eileen gently pushed his hand away and stood up. She then assisted him up the remaining stairs.

She fumbled with the light switch on the wall, flooding the dark room with light. Bryan just leaned against the wall.

He was half-naked, exposing his defined Adam’s apple, delicate collarbones, and well-sculpted chest muscles to Eileen.

Eileen averted her gaze quickly and guided Bryan toward the bed. As they neared the bed, Bryan’s balance faltered, and he leaned heavily into Eileen.

Caught off guard, Eileen found herself pinned beneath him, his sudden weight forcing an exclamation of surprise from her lips.

His arms were positioned on either side of her head. They were just inches apart, their breaths mingling, heating up the space between them.

His gaze moved from her delicate brows down to her petite nose, and then to her inviting red lips.

He licked his lips and lowered his head towards hers. Eileen quickly turned away, but Bryan mirrored her movement.

His slightly cool lips brushed against hers.

Then, he lay still beside her, his arm resting on her waist.

Suddenly, untimely images invaded Eileen’s thoughts, causing a sudden reaction in her body.

Frowning, she sat up, removed Bryan’s hand from her, and tidied her hair.

Once her breathing steadied, she moved Bryan onto the bed and covered him with a light blanket.

Seconds later, Bryan quietly drifted into slumber.

Standing by the bed, Eileen pursed her lips and looked at Bryan as memories and emotions overwhelmed her.
