Hobart's lips were thin, and when his gaze met hers, his throat moved slightly before he spoke in a low, hoarse voice. "Bonnie…"
At that word, Bonnie's eyelids twitched hard.
The shock she felt was far stronger than when Derek had lazily called her "Bonnie" before.
"I…" Hobart hesitated, lowering his head a little. His tone carried an almost embarrassed sincerity. "It's my first time doing something like this."
Bonnie: "…"
His Adam's apple bobbed. Staring at her exquisite face, his voice grew softer. "I promise I won't cause you any trouble in the future."
Despite his aloof appearance, there was something obedient and earnest in him now , like a kept boy trying to please his rich lover.
Bonnie's hand began to tremble.
"No matter what you ask, I'll do it," Hobart continued, his gaze steady on her as his breath slowed. He leaned slightly closer, his hand reaching toward her. "Bonnie, you can treat me however you want…"
