She took advantage of her insight into him, and even more so of his overindulgence with her. "Damon, I'm sorry, this is on me. What can I do to make you not mad?"
Damon's eyes stared at her, showing no emotion. But his nonchalance hinted that Chloe had succeeded. As long as Damon wasn't pissed off anymore, everything else would be a piece of cake.
"Huh?" Chloe continued to push her luck, her hands climbing onto Damon's shoulders, gently shaking him.
A flicker of emotion finally crossed Damon's ice-cold face. "If there's a next time, I won't forgive you."
Chloe grinned, her eyes sparkling like they were filled with stardust, bright and captivating. "Uh-huh! Absolutely won't do it again!"
Her apology was so adorable, even the two men lurking in the shadows couldn't help but forgive her, let alone Damon himself.
"Hmph." The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, letting out a low grunt.
Chloe's smile grew even wider. "Come on, give me a kiss." Chloe shook Damon's shoulder again, prompting him to raise an eyebrow at her words.
He turned his head and looked down at her. Her face, cute and charming, was looking up, clearly signaling she wanted a kiss.
"You're too tall; it's tiring standing on my tiptoes." Chloe explained.
Damon squinted his eyes, deliberately asking, "What do you want to do?"
Chloe's face slowly reddened under Damon's gaze. Her eyes flickered a bit, and her face was filled with trouble.
"Huh?" Damon pressed, his voice cold.
Chloe bit her lip, her face flushed as she muttered, "Just...a kiss, then a hug...lift me up...spin me around..."
Damon's lips twitched slightly. He couldn't help but chuckle. "What did you say?"
Chloe bit her lip harder, took a deep breath, and turned her gaze elsewhere. "Just...a kiss, then a hug...lift me up...spin me around..."
She wanted to say it all at once, but she paused in the middle, her voice getting softer towards the end.
A moment of silence!
After Chloe finished, her face turned beet red. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into a hole.
"Ha—"
Nathan at the end of the hallway couldn't help but laugh, clamping his mouth shut the next second.
Oh my God! Such a straightforward request for a kiss, a hug, and a spin!
This was too hilarious!
Kane on the other side was also trying to hold back his laughter. His face was red, his hands were clutching his stomach, his lips were tightly closed, and tears were welling up in his eyes. His cheeks were puffed up like they were about to explode, as if he was about to burst into laughter any second.
Damon's face remained expressionless, but Chloe rubbed her forehead against his, then kissed his tightly closed lips. "I won't do it again. I promise."
She repeatedly assured him in a low voice. It seemed that Damon's anger this time really scared her.
In fact, compared to the time she intentionally got hurt to upset him, this was not much different. But this time, it was much more serious.
In general, Damon's attitude towards Chloe was mostly standoffish. But luckily, Chloe realized her mistake. She deeply reflected on the severity of the situation.
Chloe’s gentle placating was Damon’s greatest weakness. He wouldn’t really do anything to her.
Chloe kissed him over and over, occasionally touching his lips lightly like a kitten. After several times, finally, Damon took a deep breath, bent down, and put her down.
Chloe's feet touched the ground and her heart sank a little, but the next second she saw Damon bend his tall and slender body, enveloping her completely. Her lips were taken by him, her breath stolen, her nostrils filled with his unique scent.
In his eyes, there was a bit of helplessness, a lot of love, and a little bit of punishment.
Chloe tightly gripped his shoulders, passionately responding to him; her heart that had been hanging in the air finally landed.
In the end, she was carried off by Damon, her body limp. He looked at her flushed cheeks. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he opened the door and walked into the room.
