Tangled Temptations

Chapter 358

Chapter 358

A sleek black sedan cruised steadily along the road. The children, worn out from

the day's excitement, slumped in their seats, a tangle of weary limbs.

Harvey glanced over at Eloise. She leaned back in her seat, gazing quietly out the window.

"Still mad?"

Harvey gently squeezed her hand.

Eloise offered a faint smile. "Why would I be? Keep your eyes on the road."

Eloise often wondered, was this alright?

When Harvey returned to the bedroom, Eloise had finished her bath and was applying lotion at the vanity.

Their relationship was good lately, and they'd had sex often.

Harvey naturally wrapped his arms around her slim waist, sliding his hands up and down. His breath felt warm against the nape of her neck, half-teasing, half- flirting. "Seems like you've put on some weight."

Every woman liked to be slim. Eloise lightly swatted away his fingers, a touch annoyed. "Then go find someone without an ounce of fat."
