Chapter 547
Connor swept Chloe off her feet without a second thought and headed straight for his usual private room at the Diamond Club. From the get-go, it was complete chaos. Chloe, nearly delirious upon entering, launched herself at him, managing to pin him on the bed with surprising strength. He struggled to break free but couldn't, so he just let her cling to him, biting and all.
Despite her clumsy attempts at affection and not even knowing how to kiss properly, Connor, usually a bit of a neat freak and not fond of strangers, found himself surprisingly unbothered. Her scent—a heady mix of booze and floral notes—was intoxicating, like standing in a field of English roses. Her chaotic seduction and thoughtless kisses somehow captivated him completely.
For years, Connor had thought of her as a child, never imagining there'd be a spark between them. They'd met as kids, and she'd become his faith, his salvation, his reason for living. He had always longed to find her, to see her again, but love? That was never part of the plan. Yet here he was, looking into her beautiful eyes, mesmerized by the tear mole at the corner, her crimson lips tempting him like forbidden fruit. His heart raced, blood roaring, boiling, searing through him as he watched himself fall for her, utterly aware yet helpless.
Chloe kissed him again, her lips meeting his, her tongue daring to explore. In an instant, Connor's reason shattered, and he took charge. They kissed for who knows how long, but she seemed to grow more uncomfortable. He almost lost himself entirely until she accidentally whispered a name: “Lucas…” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
That name snapped him back to reality. Lucas? Wasn't that her so-called husband? Was she drowning her sorrows over him? Did she love him? Suddenly, questions flooded his mind. Chloe snuggled into his arms like a kitten, but eventually, he regained his senses.
Calling a doctor friend, he learned the best remedy for her state was to ride it out. Furious, Connor listened as the doctor suggested cold water as a second option, since the effects wouldn’t last long.
So, he took her to the bathroom and doused her with cold water. She shivered, and he got soaked, but after about half an hour, the effects wore off.
Still drunk, Chloe needed rest, so Connor carried her to bed, closed his eyes, and undressed her, letting her sleep. By then, he was fully sober, regretting any moment of disrespect. Chloe was unaware, but he wasn’t. He never imagined losing control like that. Nothing happened that night, but when Chloe woke up and saw herself undressed, she misunderstood the situation.
