Tangled Temptations

When Harvey got back to the apartment, it was already 3 in the morning.

He cracked open the door, and a warm yellow light spilled out from the bedroom, adding a touch of warmth to the cold luxury decor.

Harvey stepped inside.

Eloise was a light sleeper, and she woke up the moment he entered. Sitting up and leaning against the headboard, her voice still husky from sleep, she asked, "Hungry for some late-night snack?"

"Too late for that. I'm going to hit the shower."

Eloise found this odd. Hadn't he showered outside? Could it be?

Seeing her eyes sparkle with curiosity, Harvey bent down to kiss her, "What's on your mind? Do you really think I've got the energy to mess around? You've got me all tied up."noveldrama

Eloise turned red and didn't pursue the matter.

Harvey stripped and entered the bathroom, casually tossing his white shirt onto the floor. Eloise picked it up and put it in the laundry basket for washing the next day.

Suddenly, she froze.

There were bloodstains on the shirt. Eloise sniffed it. There was a faint smell of blood.

She looked towards the bathroom, furrowing her brows. Had Harvey been out fighting?

Smart as she was, Eloise immediately thought of Max's odd behaviour tonight. She guessed it had something to do with him.

She gently put down the shirt and climbed back into bed.

When Harvey came out, he was wearing a black bathrobe, damp all over.

He hugged Eloise from behind, slowly exploring her body, holding up her head with one hand and kissing her. The position was uncomfortable, but for some reason, Eloise was unusually submissive.

She could tell his mood was a bit off.

Harvey pinned Eloise underneath him, his eyes deep and dark.

He did nothing, he just stared at her.

His handsome profile entranced Eloise, her slender fingers tracing his high nose and firm chin. Blushing, she whispered, "Harvey, you're so handsome." Harvey was taken aback.

Then he laughed, "Who flatters their man like that? Aren't you embarrassed?"

Eloise arched her body, leaning in to give his lips a quick peck. The light touch stirred deep emotions.

That night, she became a real woman.

The joy was all thanks to Harvey.

Harvey was deeply moved. He kissed her softly.

After a long while, he lay down and pulled her into his arms, sighing softly, "Let's get some sleep."

Eloise nestled against his shoulder, one arm around his waist, and closed her eyes, while Harvey watched her in the dark for a long time.

Her beauty was breathtaking, her features captivating.

No wonder Max couldn't let go. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to let go quickly either.

In the morning, Eloise woke up.

She was alone in bed, but there was a long-stemmed white rose on her pillow, still fresh with dew. Seeing it filled Eloise with joy.

She turned over, picked up the rose and, sniffed it, then rolled around in bed, hugging it.

Eloise felt warm, reminded of last night.

Although she didn't have much experience with men, her intuition told her Harvey was very potent in specific ways, his needs greater than most men. After making love twice last night, he didn't need any rest and was ready for more.

Eloise was a mature woman, and she didn't think of sex as torture.

On the contrary, she enjoyed it too.

Just then, there were faint sounds from outside, followed by a knock on the door. Marianna's excited voice rang out, "Ms. Laurent, Attorney sent you a gift. Come check it out."

Eloise bit her lip gently. Harvey sent a gift?
