I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 Temptation

#Finished

Once someone falls asleep, their awareness of the outside world drops. Add alcohol to the mix, and it’s even worse. Ellis had no idea her ex–husband had taken off her top. She didn’t know he was leaning over her now, his eyes flickering with something dark and heated.

She couldn’t sense how close Easton was to losing control.

The longer he stared at her, the more it tested his self–control.

He wanted her. Plain and simple.

But Ellis had called him a useless creep and a deadbeat too many times for him to forget. She hated him touching her. If he did anything now–took advantage of her like this–she’d lose it She’d never forgive him.

And he knew it.

Still, the temptation was real. The sight in front of him made his pulse pound. One part of him screamed to just go for it. Take her. Get her pregnant. Then use the baby to talk her into getting back together

It was a dirty ma

by move. But would it be worth it!

Another part of him, the more rational part, held him back. He remembered how she’d reacted when he thought she was pregnant last year–dragging her to the hospital, only for her to completely shut down. She didn’t want to have his kid. She’d get an abortion without a second thought.

If she did, he wouldn’t get what he wanted–and she’d only end up hating him more.

His jaw clenched. Weighing everything out, Easton shut his eyes and forced himself to look away. Slowly, carefully, he reached for the pajama top he’d picked out earlier and helped her into it, doing his best not to look at her bare skin.

Just as his breath started to steady, he looked up–and froze.

Ellis was awake.

Her eyes were blurry, unfocused, and she kept blinking like she couldn’t quite figure out what was going on

Easton’s heart jumped into his throat.

I didn’t do anything. I really didn’t

He cleared his throat, trying to sound casual. “I was just helping you change. I didn’t do anything else.”

If anyone else had seen him like this, they wouldn’t believe it–cold, always–composed Easton, fidgeting like a nervous schoolboy. But he was terrified of her misunderstanding. One wrong move, and all the effort he’d made to get close to her would go straight down the drain.

Ellis didn’t recognize him. Still tipsy, she only knew she’d felt someone’s hand on her, something warm and oddly pleasant trailing along her skin. Her instincts took over. She grabbed the man’s hand and pressed it to her cheek.

The sudden gesture startled Easton.

ED-

He didn’t even get her name out before she leaned forward and practically collapsed into his arms. Her hands found their way around his neck like it was the most natural thing in the world.

The heat he’d tried to suppress came roaring back, sharp and fierce. His mouth went dry. Every cell in his body screamed for

more.

Don’t do it. Don’t touch her

She really didn’t. Her brain was still clouded with alcohol. All she knew was that the man holding her felt cool to the touch, and she liked that. It made her feel better somehow–less hot, less dizzy.

She shifted in his lap, rubbing against him in a slow, lazy motion.
