Tangled Temptations

Chapter 262

Chapter 251

Harvey went to his study, lighting a cigarette as he settled into the solitude.

These past three years, he'd been too busy to even miss Eloise, let alone anything else. But now, in this rare moment of tranquility, he had some time to himself.

Regret washed over him as he remembered how he'd forced Eloise to cut ties with Landon. That single act had ensured Landon a permanent place in Eloise's heart. Even if it wasn't love, it was enough to make him feel jealous.

Just as Harvey was immersing himself in his thoughts, the study door creaked open. A head of curly brown hair peeked in, belonging to a little girl with bare feet, clad in a cute colorful nightie.

"Daddy!"

Linda threw herself into his arms, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck. Harvey put her small feet into his arms, planting a gentle kiss on them.

"Why are you up, sweetheart?" He asked softly.

Half-asleep, Linda nestled into his chest, mumbling something about wanting her mommy. Harvey felt nervous at the thought of Eloise in their bedroom - she was in no state for Linda to see.

He soothed her gently, "Mommy's asleep in daddy's room."

"I want to sleep with mommy!" Linda insisted.

Harvey cradled her in one arm, gently shaking her as he told her a bedtime story. His voice, slightly raspy from the late night, was a calming presence. Eventually, Linda drifted off in his arms. Knowing she'd wake if he put her down now, Harvey wrapped her in a blanket and held her for almost an hour.

Finally, Linda was asleep. Harvey sat by the edge of the bed, watching her peaceful face, and couldn't resist planting a soft kiss on her cheek. This little girl was the treasure of him and Eloise. Of course he loved her dearly.

Linda stirred in her sleep, cuddling her stuffed bunny. Harvey couldn't bear to leave her just yet, so he stayed a while longer.

When he eventually returned to the bedroom, he was taken aback. Eloise was a mess. Her hair and forehead were damp with sweat, and her body was seductive and tempting.

Harvey moved closer, crouching down to take a closer look at her. His Adam's apple bobbed. He removed the tie and gently loosened her. Eloise's breath came in soft pants, and her voice sounded very soft, "Harvey... you asshole!"

Harvey knew women well. He knew what she wanted, so he leaned in close, "Bath first, or...?"

Eloise wrapped her arms around him, meeting his lips.
