All Chapters of Scent of Desire : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Don’t leave! If you don't treat your wound right now, it can get infected,” I murmured in a low and trembling tone, still grabbing his sleeve firmly.Keir sighed as he turned to me, “Are you scared to stay alone? I can send Violet to-”“NO! I am not scared of anything.”I demanded in a gentle tone, stealing a glance of his deep injury from his right shoulder to his back, “Let me call the nurse for you.”Keir looked a bit puzzled at first, not understanding why I was so demanding. But, looking at my teary eyes and the dark red spots on my cheeks, his face softened. He replied after a little pause, looking at me, “I don’t like to be touched by any female. Don’t call the nurse. I will treat it myself.”My mouth felt like old paper, dry and dusty. Without letting go of his sleeve, I murmured promptly, “There is the first aid box in that cabinet. Do it here. I will help you if you need.”Honestly, I was very reluctant to let him go at that moment.A weird fear was tormenting me within. It

“Get in!”“You? Why are you here?”I was shocked to see Keir in the driver's seat of the car. Coming out of the car, Keir opened the door for me as he answered briefly, “To pick you up. Morris and Violet are not in the town today.”“I know that. I could just return to my home alone. I wasn’t expecting you here,” I answered promptly. However, opening the front door for me, next to the driver seat, he answered casually, “You are not returning home. I asked the doctor and he said that you can join the work from today.”“What! That’s just unfair. Can’t I get a holiday?” I complained helplessly.Keir signed me to enter inside the car as he answered nonchalantly, “No, no more holiday. You already enjoyed two lazy days.”I got in the car as I mumbled, rolling my eyes, “Those were just painful days. Humph!”I noticed Keir’s mischievous smirk, playing on his lips. He looked in a light mood that morning as he started the car. Suddenly, he leaned closer to me, startling me. While pulling the s

“Why do you look afraid?”Keir asked in utter confusion. Closing the distance between us, I answered nervously, “I don’t know how to swim. Is it really necessary for me to attend the cruise party?”Keir stared at me for a few seconds and then, he burst into a jovial and rich laughter. Half laughing, he stated, offering his hand, “I will only take you to a small cruise tour; not like, I will throw you in the sea from the cruise.”Frowning, I still mumbled, “Still, I am scared of water. Can’t we just-”Grabbing my wrist suddenly, Keir declared arrogantly, “Stop being dramatic. I will be there with you.”Without waiting for my answer, Keir dragged me towards the entrance. The crowd began from there.There was a long queue in front of it. Bulky and huge guards in black were maintaining the crowds while well-dressed females with bright smiles were welcoming the guests inside after checking their Ids.All in that crowd were dressed extravagantly and the feeling of inferiority hit me hard on

“Don’t worry. I will go easy on you, Eliza,” Keir whispered in my ears.He took my hand into his and guided me to the centre of the dance floor. There were numerous other couples but the spotlight was on us. My heart was bouncing to the tempo of the enthralling music. I noticed Dave, still standing near the bar with a glass in his hand. He had a mysterious smirk on his face as he whispered something to one of the waiters. Looking into Keir’s eyes, I answered with an enchanting smile, “You don't need to go easy on me, Sir. I am quite skilled.”Keir’s smirk widened as his emerald eyes sparkled like shiny gems in the dim light. He whispered in his husky voice, leaning closer to me, “We will see, Eliza.”My name on his lips always sounded different; very special. His one hand was placed on my upper back while my hand was placed on his shoulders. Our fingers intertwined with each other and our eyes were lost into each other. My body tingled from that minimum contact. He guided me into wha

“Keir!”The tense lines on my face relaxed immediately. I instantly pushed him inside the room and closed the door behind us. I sighed in relief when the sound of the approaching footsteps faded gradually. Resting my forehead against Keir’s chest, I mumbled in a low and breathy voice, “Thank God! I found you. I- I-”I couldn’t say anymore. I didn’t even realise that I was resting my head on his chest until his hand gently touched the back of my head. All the sounds disappeared and his steady heartbeat calmed me down.After a little pause, Keir asked in a low and gentle voice, “What is wrong? Why do you look so scared?”Without looking up, I mumbled briefly, “Why did you leave me alone in the hall? I was looking for you everywhere.”Keir’s familiar scent and his warmth worked like magic. In a few seconds, the inner torment and fear of Lucas both faded away from my mind. I slowly looked up, taking a step back from him.Keir spoke in an odd yet gentle tone, “S-sorry. I shouldn’t have lef
