Chapter 8 REPAY

CHLOE'S POV

After a minute or so, Mr. Gonzalez returned to my room, this time with a cold compress in his hand. ‘‘Please accept my apologies for searching through your belongings in the kitchen...’’ He remarked as he dashed back to sit next to me.

However, when he realized that I had only a towel wrapped around me, he was at a loss for what to do.

‘‘Sir…I think I can do it on my own. You don’t need to---’’

“No,’’ he groaned, cutting me off. ‘‘You took care of me last night. And I think, it’s now my responsibility to repay the favor...’’ he stated before placing the cold compress on top of the nightstand.

My lips were pursed as I lay down and he carefully removed the towel from around my body. I turned to the side facing him with the towel clutched in front of me, covering my bare front.

‘‘Shit!’’ Easton cursed when he saw a wide purple spot now covered my injured hipbone. When he gently laid his fingers onto the affected area, I flinched and hissed in pain at even the slightest pressure he did on my skin.

He reached for the cold compress and slowly pressed it on my hips causing me to groan and squeeze my eyes shut.

‘‘Do you think this is okay?’’ he inquired, gently dabbing the blue bag around my hips, his eyes darkening a little.

‘‘Y-yeah…’’ I whimpered under my breath. Because he was looking at my naked side, I couldn't help but blush a little.

I knew my boss had seen numerous naked girls because he had been sleeping with them after Rosie cheated on him, but it was me we were talking about here, his assistant, not one of his girls.

And no one, not even my ex-boyfriend, had ever seen me in this kind of state before.

He cleared his throat and continued to press the cold compress to the lightest possible on the damaged area, and I didn't notice that the silence was making my eyelids heavy until I finally shut my eyes and fell asleep.

EASTON'S POV

I was in serious trouble.

That was the first thing that crossed my mind as soon as I opened the bathroom door and saw my assistant naked on the floor, looking at me with wide eyes. As my stare swept over her bare physique, I could feel my brain begin to freeze, and my body hardened.

She even had to yell at me to get my attention back when I became startled by how her body had entranced me. I swallowed the water that had collected inside my mouth before turning around to conceal the bulge that had grown in front of me and secretly adjusted my pants.

‘‘I-I’m sorry… I heard a loud thud from here and I thought something happened to you, so… I barge in without knocking. I’m sorry…’’

After hearing that she needed my help, I wasted no time and rushed towards her. I carried her back into the room in bridal style and laid her down on the queen-size bed, which had a white cover that had gotten wet after I had placed her on top of it.

Miss Bell didn’t want to see a doctor so, I stormed out of her room and rummaged around her kitchen for something I might use to cure her injured hipbone. It was in the hanging cabinet that I saw a cold compress, so I grabbed it before going into the refrigerator to get ice cubes and fill the bag with them.

This will at the very least help to minimize the inflammation and pain she was experiencing.

I returned to her room, but I was taken aback when I discovered that it wasn't that simple to assist a woman who was almost completely naked in front of me. It was making me feel uneasy, but I had to finish what I had started.

I had to keep my nerves under control and keep my sight concentrated on her face so that I wouldn't be tempted to look at the parts of her body that were making me hard.

It wasn’t because of the purple bruise that had formed around her hipbone that I cursed, but because one of her round globes behind was in my line of sight and I couldn't help but brush my fingers across it.

She hissed in pain and before I could do something I would later regret, I removed my hand and reached for the blue bag on the nightstand and began treating the damaged region. I was almost tempted to cup her ass cheeks, but I had to remind myself that Chloe had placed her trust in me to help her.

I hadn't noticed Chloe had fallen asleep after about ten minutes until I realized it. Suddenly, my gaze was drawn to the towel she was holding, and it was loosened from her hold, revealing one of her well-rounded breasts and the pink n!pple that was calling out for a lick.

Oh, God…please help me. Don't do this to me.

I moved my attention away from her and wiped away the beads of sweat that had formed on my forehead. I cleared my throat and adjusted my pants for I don’t know how many times I did after seeing Chloe in this state.

My breath caught in my throat as I finally withdrew the blue bag from her hipbone and wiped the wet area with the towel before pulling the sheets over her and covering her entire body.

I stood there for a while, staring at Chloe's sleeping form, before pulling out my phone from my pocket and dialing the HR department's number to let them know that I and Chloe would be unable to make it to the office today.

‘‘Mrs. Travis, please do me a favour by cancelling all of my appointments for today. Right now, I'm focused on much more important things than to do any work in the office.’’

‘‘With Miss Chloe Bell...?’’ the middle-aged woman inquired, her voice filled with skepticism.

“Yes… With Miss Bell...’’ I repeated with an authoritative tone. I had to remind her that I was the boss here, and they needed to follow every instruction I was going to give to them. ‘‘You can open Miss Bell’s computer in her office and check all my appointments for today. I’ll send you the password. Thank you, Mrs. Travis…’’

Immediately after that, I hung up the phone before she could ask another question.

After sending the password to Mrs. Travis, I walked back to the bed, and searched the room for a couch where I could lie down and rest, and I sighed when I realized that Chloe's room was even smaller than my en-suite. Only a bed, her vanity dresser and a closet was seen inside.

I decided to lie down alongside her on the bed and gently pull her head to rest on my chest. I gently kissed her forehead before closing my eyes, feeling the headache from the previous night's event starting to come back, drowning myself into a lovely dream with the beautiful girl who was sleeping next to me, naked.
