Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

The next moment, Nyla felt a soft touch on her forehead, like a feather gently brushing against her skin, tickling her heart.

Damon pressed a light kiss to her forehead before pulling back, his gaze betraying a hint of guilt.

"Nyla, I'm sorry. Thinking about how much you were willing to give up for Clark made me uncomfortable, but that wasn't fair to you," he apologized. When he decided to be with her, he knew he should accept her past and not hold it against her.

Nyla was momentarily stunned. Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against his chest as she murmured, "Okay."

Her body felt soft in his arms, and her fragrance was intoxicating.

Damon's gaze darkened with desire. "Nyla, if you keep holding me like this, I can't guarantee what will happen next."

The restrained desire in his voice sent a shiver through Nyla, a warm tingle spreading across her body as her cheeks flushed slightly.

She quickly pushed him away, her eyes flashing with a mix of mock anger and embarrassment. "I just hugged you for a moment."

Damon awkwardly rubbed his nose and said in a low voice, "I have a meeting to attend. Let's go."

He quickly opened the car door and got out.
