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.
