Chapter 225

Chloe straightened up and glanced towards the door.

Their eyes locked, and it felt like time itself had frozen.

She hadn’t seen him since coming back from Eldridge City, and that was over two weeks ago.

Chloe noticed that Connor still looked composed. Her voice was steady, emotionless. “Aren’t you supposed to be drunk?”

Connor stood tall in the doorway. His features were cool, his gaze clear–not at all like someone who had been drinking. But there was a flush on his cheeks. Against his skin, it oddly made him look kind of cute.

Connor walked in. He glanced at the suitcase on the floor, his voice turning icy. “Where are you planning to move?”

Chloe had never thought about moving away. She was just packing for a trip to Paris tomorrow. But she didn’t feel like explaining anything to Connor.

“That’s none of your business.”

Ignoring Connor, she turned and walked into the closet, continuing to pack her clothes. Just as she stepped out, she bumped straight into Connor’s chest. He stood in the doorway like a mountain, his gaze intense as he looked at her.

Only then did Chloe realize he had been drinking. And quite a lot, at that. The smell of alcohol was strong on him. Chloe couldn’t help but lean in and take a sniff, then wrinkled her nose. “How much have you had?”

Connor looked down at Chloe, who was sniffing his chest like a curious puppy. He couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart. Maybe it was the alcohol, but the next second, he cradled Chloe’s face and kissed her fiercely.

The moment their lips met, Connor’s body trembled. Even though he had touched her countless times before, he would lose himself almost every time. He was addicted to her warmth, her scent. It was like a drug that corrodes the bones. Once touched, it becomes. impossible to quit.

Compared to Connor’s immersion, Chloe seemed indifferent. It wasn’t that she didn’t miss him. She was also drawn to his body, but she was always clear–headed.

“Connor, do you know what you’re doing right now?” Chloe restrained her emotions so her voice came out calm and steady.

Connor stood in front of her, seeming very unsatisfied. Those clear, beautiful eyes made his heart tremble. He scooped Chloe up in his arms, and the next second, her whole body was pressed into the soft bed. A barrage of kisses descended like a storm. He kissed her forcefully, his lips moving from hers all the way to her ear.

Chapter 225

Chloe’s earlobe was very sensitive. In the past, whenever he kissed her there, Chloe would become aroused. He was trying his best to please her. This tactic had always worked on Chloe before. But now, Chloe lay on the bed, neither resisting nor accepting him. Her gaze was cold as she stared at Connor hovering above her.

Connor propped himself up to meet her indifferent gaze. They were so close, their noses almost touching, breathing each other’s air. Chloe could smell the strong scent of whiskey on him, but it couldn’t mask his unique, sharp, cold fragrance.

This was what fascinated Chloe the most. Smelling this scent always made her feel at ease. Chloe almost lost her reason, but it was just a moment of daze. She quickly regained her clarity..

“Connor, get up.”
