As he spoke, he rested his head against Scarlett\u2019s shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he looked up, he suddenly caught the glistening wetness of unshed tears in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, he felt a jolt of confusion, followed by a sharp pang of concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Immediately, Damian sat up straight. He reached over and switched on the bedside lamp. As light flooded the room, Scarlett instinctively turned her face away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, she raised a hand to hastily wipe her cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian saw it all clearly. He shifted closer and gently took her hand. His voice was thick with worry. \u201cWhy are you crying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett shook her head. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing. I just had a bad dream.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian used his warm fingertips to brush away the moisture clinging to her lashes. He softened his voice. \u201cWhat did you dream about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t want to talk about it. She shook her head again. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Damian wasn\u2019t having it. His voice turned insistent, though not unkind. \u201cTell me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett lowered her gaze, her voice barely a whisper. \u201cDamian, I\u2019m really tired. I just want to sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian held onto her hand, his grip firm but gentle. \u201cNot yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett tried to pull away and lie back down, but Damian held fast, refusing to let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the slight struggle, he lost his balance and tumbled down with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett found herself lying on her back on the large bed, with Damian hovering above her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Worried about crushing her, Damian quickly braced his hands on either side of her body, holding himself up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Breathing heavily from the sudden fright, Scarlett\u2019s chest rose and fell rapidly. With each breath, she brushed lightly against Damian\u2019s torso.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian held himself in a push\u2013up position over her, looking down at her face. Seeing her panicked, vulnerable expression, he deliberately lowered his face a little closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, his breath, his scent, his very presence enveloped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, Scarlett felt utterly disoriented.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It took her a few seconds to gather her thoughts. Her voice came out hoarse, almost like a plea. \u201cDamian\u2026 could you please get off me first?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s gaze swept over her face, her collarbone, down to the neckline of her top, which had shifted slightly from the movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A faint, dusky pink flush instantly crept up his neck to his ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett followed his gaze and instinctively moved a hand to cover her chest. \u201cDamian!\u201d she said, a note of reprimand in her voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian seemed not to hear her. He caught her wandering hand. Then, as he leaned down, he deliberately aimed for her lips, stopping just a hair\u2019s breadth away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked directly into Scarlett\u2019s eyes. His own were growing hazy with a deep, unspoken want. He asked her, his voice serious and low, \u201cScarlett\u2026 is this okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett saw the raw emotion and desire in his eyes. Fear spiked within her, and she tried to wriggle free, but Damian held her hands firmly, making escape impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, out of sheer exhaustion, she went still. She looked at him with wide, anxious eyes and said firmly, \u201cDamian, no. You can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A slight frown creased Damian\u2019s brow. He looked at her, a tinge of genuine hurt in his expression. \u201cAre you really going to leave me hanging like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett was flustered and a little scared. \u201cThen what do you want me to do?\u201d she asked, her voice strained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that, Damian lowered his head and buried his face in the curve of her shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was careful not to put his weight on her. His voice, muffled against her skin, was soft and pleading. \u201cI just want to lie here next to you. Let me stay until you fall asleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Scarlett\u2019s eyes widened. She asked nervously, \u201cTh\u2013that\u2019s all?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian lifted his head then. He met her gaze, a knowing, playful smile touching his lips. \u201cWhat else were you thinking?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s cheeks flushed a deep crimson. She turned her face away, flustered. \u201cI\u2026 I wasn\u2019t thinking anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian chuckled softly. \u201cYour face is telling a different story. You\u2019re definitely thinking something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her like this, the corner of Damian\u2019s mouth curved into a gentle smile. He then rolled off her and lay down beside her, easily wrapping one long arm around her shoulders to pull her close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett found herself nestled against his side before she could even process it. Then, Damian\u2019s voice, warm and amused, sounded by her ear. \u201cI know what you were thinking. But don\u2019t worry. I would never cross a line you haven\u2019t drawn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing his reassurance, Scarlett let out a quiet sigh of relief. She gave him a half\u2013hearted push. \u201cThen let me go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of releasing her, Damian pulled her a little closer, his arm a comfortable weight around her. \u201cJust sleep. You\u2019ll sleep better with me here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the steady certainty in his voice, Scarlett stopped resisting. She didn\u2019t try to push him away again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
