Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 152: Reward And Punishment

Brooke returned to Thane’s room, only to see he had just stepped out of the shower and was in a white robe. She quickly turned to leave, but Thane intercepted, placing his hands on both sides of her wheelchair.

"Are you trying to run away again?" He asked, his voice teasing.

"I was giving you privacy..." Brooke’s eyes naturally fell to Thane’s exposed cheek, she gulped at the water droplets slowly trickling down his skin, leading her gaze towards his lower abdomen.

He chuckled, "How considerate."

Brooke cleared her throat. "And what about Maverick? What did you two talk about? I didn’t know you both were close."

Thane’s demeanor dampened. "Don’t worry about-"

Brooke cupped his cheeks and brought his face down to hers, planting his lips on hers for a quick kiss.

Checks flushed she said, "A-Anytime you dodge a question, I’ll kiss you!"

Thane blinked twice, processing what had happened. His tongue licked his lower lip, his eyes lit up. "Is this a punishment or a reward?"

Brooke narrowed her eyes, "Mr Grayson-" her words were cut short when Thane held the back of her head and planted his lips onto hers, stealing a kiss.

Only his was longer, and included tongue. Brooke felt a tingle in-between her legs when Thane’s tongue wrapped around hers. And when he pulled away, he kept his hand on her cheek, gently caressing it.

"Anytime you formally call my name, I’ll kiss you like that." He said back to her, his gaze never leaving her lips, his itching to taste her again.

Brooke felt her heart leap in her chest, she looked away, "That’s ridiculous, you’re just looking for an excuse to kiss me."

"I learned that trick from my wife." He retorted sharply, earning a small smile from Brooke’s lips.

She straightened her back, and folded her arms around her chest, "You’re naturally shameless, that isn’t my fault." Clearing her throat she said, "Anyway, you should change into proper clothes so you don’t catch a cold."

Thane took his hand off Brooke’s cheek, the moment he did her skin felt lacking, but she wouldn’t show it. He made for the bed and picked up the folded clothes he had Gilbert bring him.

Noticing the clothes Brooke let out a sigh, "I wonder if Hannah’s okay, I’ve been trying to contact her but she didn’t answer."

"Don’t worry about that, Hannah is very self sufficient. She can handle herself." he said.

Brooke bit her lips, "I’m just worried." She was used to Hannah always answering her calls. "Maybe I should go check one more time-" holding that thought, she reached into her phone pouch and pulled out the business card she got earlier.

"I wanted to ask, do you maybe know the owner of this company?" She asked, passing the card to him.

Thane sat at the edge of the bed, legs crossed, he picked up the card and stared at it for a while, before answering, "I’m afraid not. How did you get this?"

"Oh, I met the owner outside, he was a kind older man, who helped me out. He gave me his business card..." she was saying, only to see Thane’s lips furl into a frown.

"That old bastard." Thane hissed.

She chuckled, "He was a nice gentleman, and I really enjoyed talking to him. He wanted to repay me for my phone, and gave me his card. But, I get that you wouldn’t know it, his business might not be that famous."

Thane stared at the card once more, "I don’t bother myself with businesses outside my field, but you could ask Matthew, he would know-" Thane took a pause, "No, I’ll ask Matthew for you."

"You don’t need to go to such lengths, I can just call the number on the card." She suggested.

"Brooke, for him to even be in this hospital means his family must have a networth in the billions. And in my circle, people don’t just run into each other, everything is calculated. We have to run an investigation on this man just to be extra certain of his intentions." He explained.

Brooke nodded, "But I don’t think he had any ulterior motives, he seemed too nice for that."

Thane sent Brooke a weary smile, "You’re too trusting."

Brooke parted her lips to speak, but Thane pulled her by the wheelchair and effortlessly lifted her onto the bed, knocking down the folded clothes.

"Mr-" she stopped herself from calling him by surnam, "What are you doing?" She asked, referring to his arms wrapped around her.

Thane let out a groan, "What’s a man to do. My wife is just too charming, wherever we go there’s always down someone trying to get with her. I wish, I could just hold in my arms like this, and we could just stay like this forever."

Brooke couldn’t stop herself from smiling, "Stop, someone is going to come in, let go."

He kissed her forehead and held her tighter, "I just want to go away with you. Let’s travel to some other country, buy a house, with a nice view of the ocean a big kitchen we can experiment in, a theatre where I can watch you perform..."

Brooke cut him off, "Aren’t you getting ahead of yourself here?"

"Why? Don’t you like the idea?" Thane asked.

"No, of course I do. I would love that." She sighed, "A theatre would be nice, a classic one, with a lot of costumes I could change in and out of. We would have a huge library filled with books we may never read in our entire lifetime. And we could have a small garden at the back, where we could grow all sorts of flowers. And the kids could-"

Brooke paused, her eyes widened in shock that she dared to say something like that to Thane.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-"

"How does three kids and a dog sound? Or maybe two dogs? And a cat, and a bird...we might as well get a small zoo while we’re at it." he said in a softened voice, he pointed his gaze to Brooke, and passed her a smile.

Letting her know that he felt the same way...
