Tangled Temptations

Chapter 155

Harvey was all fired up as he blurted out his thoughts.

Sure, she and Callum had a fling that lasted 10 days, but that was just a flash, no biggie.

Only he, Harvey, knew her body inside and out.

He was trying to sweet-talk the woman in his arms, coaxing her to go along with his desires.

Just as he was about to take off his shirt...

A heartbreaking sob echoed in the room, faint but piercing.

Harvey was taken aback.

Eloise was curled up beneath him, whispering she didn't want this, whispering it hurt.

Harvey was intrigued. He kissed her, wanting to understand her feelings. "I haven't done anything yet, how come it hurts?"

Eloise opened her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes were full of tears, shimmering like they were underwater...

She gently stroked his face, slowly voicing her subconscious thoughts. "The surgery hurt! When that machine went inside me, it was agony... Harvey, you weren't there. I could only grip the sheets..."

As Eloise spoke, the tears began to flow.

Big droplets rolled down her cheeks.

"I was in so much pain. I was counting the seconds, hoping that the pain would end... But it never did... Harvey, you were the one who took me to the hospital, but why did you go to Joan Lynch? Do you know how ridiculous I felt watching her, flushed and happy? I wasn't even a decent stand-in..."

Eloise seemed tipsy, maybe she wasn't really drunk.

She took this opportunity to pour out her feelings, wanting to reject him.

"Harvey... I don't want to keep doing this to myself. I don't want to endure the pain anymore."

Harvey listened in a daze, a sudden pang hitting his heart.

Eloise had never told him about any of this...

Was that night unforgettable for her? So much so that she didn't even want to do this anymore?

Even though she was drunk, Harvey could still try to soothe her.

He was confident that he could get her to relax, and then they could have a wonderful night, but when Eloise said she was in pain, he hesitated...

Slowly, his passion began to cool.

He didn't leave Eloise's body, instead holding her gently.

He nuzzled her face, kissing her delicate neck, whispering soothing words. "It won't hurt anymore! Eloise, you won't be in pain anymore... I'll be careful, I'll stay with you even if you have to go to the hospital, okay?"
