"I am certain you would have broken many rules. Now that you have heard what you wanted, I am going to sleep. I suggest you do the same," Eloise said, turning her back to Damien.
Not long after Eloise turned, Damien's hand was placed on her waist to pull her towards him.
"I am helping you will not be overwhelmed by the size of the chamber," Damien defended his actions.
"I wish I could believe that was the only intention for holding me," Eloise said, but still she didn't move. It was comforting to have a reminder that Damien was present.
Eloise couldn't move even if she wanted to. Her back was pressed to Damien's bare chest, and one wrong move could brush her buttocks against his lower body.
"Relax, Eloise. I am not going to harm you," Damien's breath tickled her ear.
"You are too close," Eloise spoke softly.
