Tangled Temptations

Harvey's question made Eloise cringe. In fact, she and Max hadn't gotten close at all! The most they'd done was a light peck, that was all!

Eloise went silent for a while.

Harvey didn't press on; he just finished a cigarette slowly as the convoy started to move. He parked the car to the side. Before Eloise could ask, he unbuckled her seatbelt. Then, he lifted her onto his lap.

He took off her coat, she was wearing barely anything underneath, and her clothes were a bit damp, quickly staining his steel-gray trousers. Just looking at it was kind of a turn-on.

Outside, the storm was raging. In front of the car window, the wipers were

swinging rhythmically. The scene inside the car was sometimes clear, sometimes blurry.

Eloise was forced to lie on top of Harvey, kissing him. Harvey was skilled, quickly making Eloise give in. She was dazed and fell into his arms, letting him have his way.

Occasionally, she'd open her eyes and see her reflection in the car window, and she'd feel shocked. Was this indulgent woman really her?

Just as things were heating up, Harvey, being a man of his status, wouldn't finish things in the car. He leaned close to her ear, his voice husky. "There's a fancy guesthouse nearby, wanna spend the night there?"

Eloise came to her senses a bit. Even though she was a bit dizzy from the kisses, she knew Harvey was just looking for a one-night stand. She hugged his neck and whispered for mercy, "Mr. Horigan, wait..."

Harvey lost interest. He lit another cigarette and took a deep puff before saying, "If you can't handle it, don't play. It's really boring."

Eloise braced herself and kissed him again. Harvey didn't respond, his deep gaze fixed on her. Eloise blushed, she'd never done anything like this, but this frivolous teasing had no effect on Harvey.noveldrama

He put out the half-smoked cigarette, his voice returning to its cold tone. "I'll take you home!"

Eloise felt awkward lying on his lap, so she slowly moved away. Everybody knew how uncomfortable it was to be interrupted when things were getting hot and heavy. Harvey stared at her face, his breathing getting a bit ragged.

Eloise slid back into the passenger seat. She didn't put on his coat, and she quietly turned her head to look out the window. She knew that her actions had no effect on Harvey. She felt a bit hopeless.

The rest of the ride was silent, neither of them spoke. Harvey dropped her off at her place, the rain had stopped. He didn't get out to open the door for her; just nodded coolly.

Eloise didn't want to give up. "Mr. Horigan, can I have your contact information?"

Harvey refused but softened a bit after thinking. "You can find Dominique Bowen. He's quite famous in the industry, too."

Saying that, he took out a business card. "This is Attorney Bowen's contact information."

The card was handed to Eloise, and their fingers brushed. Eloise looked up dazedly. Harvey's handsome face was in front of her. He was incredibly attractive, and he seemed to have calmed down.

Eloise's heart raced. However, Harvey simply bypassed her, opened the door for her, and said coolly, "Ms. Laurent, I hope we don't meet again."

Even if Eloise was bold, she couldn't stay in the car any longer. As she got out, the car door just closed, and Harvey drove away immediately.

Eloise stood in the darkness, surrounded by the cold...
