The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1324

Who else could be in the room beside Chloe? His face darkened instantly, his tight lips making him seem

intimidating.

He glanced at his watch; it was already past ten. At this hour, that woman should have been asleep.

He stood there for a long time, clueless about what he had done wrong to have been barred from his own room.

Finally, he left with a cold face.

Damon returned to his study, sat on the sofa for a long time, deeply pondering what exactly had gone wrong

before tonight.

She had intended to wait for Damon to knock on the door but fell asleep due to a sudden bout of sleepiness.

She woke up in the middle of the night, still having things on her mind. She felt a sense of emptiness, knowing that

Damon was living under the same roof but not beside her when she slept, making her feel somewhat lost.

She sighed softly, intending to continue sleeping, but suddenly found herself in a warm embrace. Her heart stopped

uncontrollably for a moment as she was surprised to see Damon lying next to her in the dark.

Damon, having already finished his night routine, was lying beside her. When she rolled into his arms, he

immediately wrapped his arms around her waist, gently pulling her into his embrace.

Chloe blinked, taking a moment to register. “I… I thought I locked the door…”

Damon slowly opened his eyes, looking at her, his deep voice slowly ringing in her ear. “Did you get enough sleep?”

The way he said it, it was clearly a “If you’re well–rested, let’s have a serious talk” kind of tone.

Chloe’s eyes darted around, her mind racing, and then she closed her eyes. “I’m so sleepy, I’m about to fall asleep,

snore…”

She even made two exaggerated snoring noises, leaving Damon both amused and exasperated. But it was still the

middle of the night, not the time to fuss over things with her. He helplessly kissed her forehead, holding her in his

arms, and continued sleeping.

The next morning, Chloe rolled over unconsciously. Feeling the warm chest and familiar scent, she paused her

movements.

“Awake?” A deep, husky voice came from above her head.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and in the next second, she closed her eyes again.

Damon, who didn’t get a response, watched her face for a while, a slight smile lifting the corners of his mouth. He

pulled her back into his arms when she slightly moved away. His hand rested on her waist, patting gently, as if

coaxing a child to sleep.

For a moment, Chloe really felt at ease, feeling secure, as if she was about to fall into a deep sleep. But not long

after, she felt his hand stop patting her waist, his large palm resting on her waist.

Soon after, she felt his palm gently squeezing her waist, then releasing.

Damon was kneading her waist. She froze, her body tensing up instantly, her breathing deliberately shallower.

Until Damon’s slender fingers slowly lifted her pajamas, gently sliding on her skin, she involuntarily trembled

slightly, subconsciously wanting to say something, but the thought was immediately suppressed.

If he knew she was awake at this point, he would definitely hold her accountable for locking him out last night, and

she wouldn’t be able to escape.

First of all, this man would definitely take full advantage of the situation, then settle accounts with her in detail. Like,

first kissing her forcefully, kissing until she was dazed…

This kind of handling was highly likely.

But this was based on the premise that she was already awake, wasn’t it? Why was it that she was clearly still

asleep, yet still being kissed breathless?

“Mmm…” Chloe had been holding her breath very carefully from the start, so when she was kissed intensely, she

soon found it hard to breathe.

Damon chuckled lowly, his hand directly slipping under her clothes, caressing her silky skin.

Chloe took a few quick breaths, reaching out to grab his arm, but her weak strength couldn’t stop his exploration.

“So you’re ignoring me when you’re awake, huh?”

Chloe, with her eyes slightly open, looked at his handsome face close at hand, her cheeks flushing. “I… actually

want to keep sleeping.”

Damon’s deep black eyes stared straight at her, his gaze sweeping past her rosy lips and landing on her delicate

chest. Her pajamas had been disheveled from the previous tussle, exposing her shoulder and the beautiful shape of

her collarbone.

He suddenly felt his throat dry, his heated gaze darkening a few notches, as if all his blood was rushing to one

place.

“Since you’re already awake, let’s deal with things before continuing to sleep.”

Chloe pursed her lips, thinking to herself, she knew it would be like this.

“What’s the matter?”

Damon squinted slightly. “Why did you deliberately lock me out last night?”

“No way. If I locked you out, how could you be in bed now?”

Damon looked at her feigned ignorance, a slow smile lifting his lips. “I used the spare key to open the door. You

didn’t expect that, did you?”

Chloe bit her lip silently, but her face was all smiles. “Of course I expected it. You prepared this house for me

initially. I knew you had a spare key, so obviously, I didn’t deliberately lock you out last night, it must have been an

accident.”

Damon looked at her seemingly calm demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh. “So, you really weren’t mad at me

yesterday?”

“Why would I be mad at you?”

Damon chuckled, grabbing her hand, and placing it on her head, leaning his forehead against hers.

Chloe took a deep breath, looking nervously at him as he suddenly got closer. “What… what are you going to do?”

Damon gently touched her cheek, his voice deep and full of affection. “Chloe…”

Just calling her name made Chloe feel a warmth spread from her feet all over her body. She swallowed, her

eyelashes trembling slightly as she looked up at him. “… Yeah?”

Damon’s kiss fell on the corner of her lips, carrying a wet warmth. “I’m not feeling well.”

Chloe felt as if her hair was about to stand on end from excitement. “You’re not feeling well… what do you want me

to do?”

Damon was planting a smooch on her lips, his big hands gently gliding all over her body. He didn’t utter a word, but

his hands shifted their course on her, gently prying apart her subconsciously clenched legs…
