Tangled Temptations

Chapter 163

Eloise felt like she'd been fished out of water.

On this Christmas Eve, Harvey gave her an experience she's never had before, upending everything she knew. The lights were blinding.

He kissed her, admiring the blush on her face.

"Eloise, you look so pretty right now. Wanna take a look?"

Eloise covered her eyes.

No, she didn't want to see, not at all!

But Harvey, being the prankster he is, picked her up, heading straight for the bathroom in the master bedroom. Eloise bit into his shoulder, but it was useless.

He pressed her against the bathroom sink from behind, his arms around her waist, both of them reflected in the mirror.

"Eloise, your face was even redder just now."

He whispered embarrassing words into her ear.

Eloise tried to escape, but he spun her back around!

He gently pinched her cheeks, lifting her face towards the mirror.

Eloise, of course, knew she must look a mess right now. Even though she was all

dolled up, his teasing had left her dishevelled...

Eloise knew he led a regular private life, but he was still part of that circle.

She suspected that he knew women better than the likes of Riley.

Did being a top-notch lawyer mean you excelled in all areas?

Closing her eyes, she pleaded, "Harvey, don't do this!"

He finally stopped.

He still held her, appreciating her reflection, gently fixing her dress. Then he couldn't help but say, "Stay tonight! We won't do anything, just spend Christmas together."

Usually, they'd spend Christmas Eve with their families.

So he wanted to spend some extra time with her tonight.

Eloise slowly calmed down. She opened her eyes, her ears red.

This night felt like the first thaw of winter for her. The romantic things he did, no woman could resist.

Eloise didn't want things to move too fast. She hesitated, then softly said, "I should go home!"

Harvey was disappointed, but he respected her wish. He just murmured, "Stay a bit longer, Eloise... I want you with me."

By "with me", he meant something that would make hearts flutter.

When she left, the blush on her face had spread down her neck.
