\u201cOf course. You didn\u2019t cry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe nodded, patting Nick on the shoulder like she was coaxing a child. \u201cWatching the movie with you was fun. We\u2019ll do it again next time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She switched off the TV with a swift press, tidied up the dishes on the table, and hummed a tune as she returned to the bedroom to change. She was going to take a shower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No sooner had she wrapped herself in a towel than Nick followed her in. She spun around, startled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, I\u2019m going to shower. You need to\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRelax. I\u2019ve seen it all before. Why so nervous?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick spoke as if deliberately teasing. His arms circled her waist from behind, his hand sliding upward in one smooth motion, and her towel slipped to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even with her back to him, the sudden exposure left Khloe flushed and embarrassed. She bent instinctively to retrieve the towel, but Nick gripped her waist, holding her still.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re taking a shower together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop it-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t manage alone. Help me out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He played his trump card. Without waiting for her consent, he loosened the collar of his pajamas. They fell effortlessly to the floor, covering her towel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe knew he was deliberately scheming, yet there was nothing she could do. All her defenses, all her careful restraint, had been undone. She surrendered to the warmth and closeness that enveloped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Water flowed, their bodies light and buoyant. Nick had regained much of his strength, but Khloe chose to tend to him gently\u2026 and briefly. A taste, then restraint.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick held her close, still hungry for more. \u201cFrom now on\u2026 every night, can we do this a few more times?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, you\u2019re insane.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe laughed softly, biting her lip, cheeks flushed. Yet even as the word \u201cinsane\u201d left her lips, it hit him like a spark-momentarily stealing his focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they finished showering, Khloe finally told Nick about her upcoming business trip abroad.-\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBusiness trip? Suddenly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick was sharp; most of the Morrison Group\u2019s business was domestic, but she was talking about Naraida.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll still spend time with you these next few days\u2026 and the trip will only be two or three days-real quick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe spoke vaguely, avoiding a direct answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Nick grasped her wrist as she reached for the hairdryer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me. What\u2019s going on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a business trip,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His gaze lingered, sharp and calculating. He seemed to sense that her smile was hiding something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caught, Khloe quickly shifted the topic. \u201cBy the way, tomorrow night, Grandpa and Grandma want to have dinner with us. I told them you can\u2019t move around much, so they\u2019ll come here. We\u2019ll invite Arista too, and I\u2019ll cook\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWherever you go, I go too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick wasn\u2019t deterred. He circled back to his point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t come.\u201d Khloe exhaled, firm. \u201cYou need to rest properly. It\u2019s not suitable for you to travel so far.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can go,\u201d he insisted. \u201cI won\u2019t let you go alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s there to worry about? I\u2019m going for work-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLying.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he spoke, the softness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a sudden hardness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow am I lying? I\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re hiding something from me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s gaze flickered, restless. Her voice pitched higher, betraying her unease. If this were really just a business trip, she wouldn\u2019t be speaking with such careful avoidance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s expression darkened. He tilted her chin up with one hand, the warmth and strength of his touch undeniable. \u201cThere\u2019s something you\u2019re not telling me, isn\u2019t there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
