The others didn’t talk much while working, but once they got the chance, they never stopped asking questions.
Ethan let out a low sigh. “I just don’t want you to get too tired.”
“I’m fine.”
The second Dawn said that, she realized it sounded wrong.
She quickly corrected herself. “I mean–who takes time off for something like that?”
Ethan opened his eyes, his gaze yful. “Oh? For a moment, I thought maybe my servicest night wasn’t good enough for you.”
“I didn’t think that.”
She really didn’t.
Even though Ethan had been a little awkward, he’d been patient and gentle. He took care of her in every way, and that made her more than satisfied.
As the memory ofst night shed through her head, her cheeks burned hot. Her eyes darted everywhere except toward him.
Ethan’s voice softened. “You’re sure you don’t need a day off?”
“Positive.”
Absentmindedly, she started to fiddle with his fingers one by one. Her lips jutted out slightly as she spoke. “Even if people know about us, I don’t want special treatment. Unless it’s necessary, I want things to stay normal.”
Their bodies were still pressed close together, and the heat between them kept rising.
Looking at her flushed face, Ethan wanted to devour her whole.
After more than 20 years of self–control, one night with her wasn’t nearly enough. He wanted
more.
But Dawn didn’t seem to be thinking the same way.
Compared to Ethan, Dawn found going to work more appealing.

When she nearly bent his fingers in frustration, Ethan finally gave up and released her with a helpless sigh. “Fine. Can we at least have lunch together?<b>” </b>
“No, we just got the crystal, remember? I’ll probably have to check in with the master at noon.”
<b>As </b>she spoke, Dawn sat up.
She hadn’t put on clothes yet, but the room was warm enough.
The moment she stepped out of bed, her legs almost gave out. She shot Ethan a sharp re before stomping off to gather her clothes.
But she forgot she wasn’t dressed, which meant she had no defense against Ethan’s burning stare. His gaze followed her every move, growing darker by the second.
Ethan had no intention of looking away.
One arm propped behind his head, he simply enjoyed the rare view like it was his right.
When Dawn finally got dressed, she caught his expression. Her face red, and in a rush of embarrassment and anger, she grabbed a pillow off the couch and threw it at him. “Ethan!”
He caught it easily,ughing. “What’s wrong, honey?”
<i>Nothing</i><i>! </i>
But she had no idea how to exin herself. So instead, she snapped, “Aren’t you getting up? You want to eat breakfast with the others?<b>” </b>
Afterst night, she already knew their n. The whole point of keeping her and Ethan here wasn’t about meals. It was about trapping them together to create an opportunity.
“Forget breakfast with them.” Ethan stretched. “Let’s eat out. I’ll take you.”
Those three usually slept until noon anyway, so breakfast was
er on their radar.
After washing up, the two of them went downstairs. Sure enough, the ce was silent, not a single door opened. Dawn kept sneaking nces at Ethan. After the fifth time, he finally sighed. “Just say it. You staring like that is making me nervous.”
“Um…” Dawn fumbled. “I was just wondering … is it really okay to leave the bed such a mess?”
<i>What </i><b><i>if </i></b><i>someone </i><i>saw</i>?
Ethan gave her a look. “You didn’t notice when you came out earlier?”

“Notice what?<b>” </b>
“Rx. I already stripped the sheets.”
“Where’d you put them?”
“In the trash.”

Dawn was stunned, while Ethan spoke like it was the most natural thing in the world. “Of course, I threw them out. What, did you think I’d bring them home?”
When he put it that way
…
… he wasn’t wrong.
She let out a quiet breath of relief and followed him to the car.
As they neared the office, Ethan slowed the car in front of a pharmacy. He rubbed his nose, looking awkward. “Do you want some ointment?”
“What?”
<i>What </i><i>ointment</i><i>? </i>
…
“Um you know. Down there.”
…
Dawn had never seen him blush before. The only other time wasst night, when he’d been swept away by passion. And now–again.
But the way he said it sounded so ridiculous.
“It’s not that bad! Why would I need medicine?”
She turned her head toward the window, refusing to look at him.
Ethan frowned slightly. He already knew Alex couldn’t be trusted, but he hadn’t realized just how unreliable that guy really was.
Twice already this morning, things had gonepletely differently than what Alex had imed.
When they pulled up outside her office, Dawn unbuckled her seatbelt. But just as she reached for the door handle, Ethan grabbed her arm. <fnd863> Checktest chapters at </fnd863>
