Through the gap, a woman leaned halfway in, bringing the light from the hallway with her into his world.
She spread her fingers and waved.
“Hey, can Ie in?”
At that moment, Ethan felt like something mmed right into his heart. Heat and emotion surged up inside him, rushing through every inch of his body and flooding his eyes.
After a couple of seconds, he smiled and opened his arms to her.
“Dawn,e here.”
Dawn’s eyes sparkled as she ran over and threw herself into his embrace.
She’d just taken a shower, so the scent of her body wash and steam still clung to her skin. Ethan lowered his head and inhaled her scent. Then, he asked softly, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Dawn sighed dramatically, tipping her head back with a soft voice. “I just had a feeling someone wasn’t happy, so I couldn’t sleep.”
She wrapped her arms around his waist. His body was firm and muscr, and she couldn’t help giving him a little squeeze.
“You don’t have to worry about me.”
Dawn knew what was on his mind.
Even though he always tried to act rxed, she could still sense how tense he was. Otherwise, he wouldn’t havee downstairs just to get her.
“If that person really ising for me, there’s no way to avoid it, so I’ll just see what he wants to do. After all, I’ve got such an amazing husband. Besides, you saw how I made it through that kidnappingst time, right? I … mm!”
Before she could finish, Ethan suddenly leaned down and kissed her.
Dawn’s eyes went wide, seeing the intensity burning in his gaze.

Ethan let out a lowugh, hooked his hands under her thighs, and lifted her onto the desk.
“Silly, close your eyes.”
Dawn didn’t listen.
She loved seeing him when he was ovee by emotion. The corners of his eyes would be tinged red, making him look just like a handsome demon from aic.
Their breathing got heavier, and in the dim study, it felt like a thin veil of heat and desire had settled over them.
This time, it all happened in the study–and they hadn’t used protection.
The next morning, Dawn woke to the sound of her phone ringing.
She fumbled for it and pressed it to her ear, mumbling, “Hello?”
No one answered on the other end, but she could make out the faint sound of running water.
As her mind slowly cleared, Dawn pulled the phone away and nced at the screen. The number is just a string of random digits. It doesn’t look like any Crestavia number … Is it an overseas call?
She frowned and tried again. “Hello?”
Just then, the caller hung up.
“That’s weird…”
Ethan walked in from the hallway and saw her sitting on the bed, looking lost.
His dark eyes glimmered. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Probably just a scam call … ”
Dawn answered, then realized he was staring at her strangely. She looked down–and saw the nket had slipped, showing her bare skin … and more.
She quickly yanked the nket up over her chest and squeaked in surprise.
Then she buried herself under the covers.

Ethan wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. He strolled over to the bed, patted her, and leaned in to say through the covers, “Ms. Cocoon, I’m off to a meeting at the office. Hannah made breakfast. Get up and eat when you’re ready.”
Dawn shifted under the nket but didn’t say anything.
Ethan couldn’t hold back a smile and tapped the covers lightly.
He got up and left.
Dawn didn’te out until she was sure the coast was clear. She took a few deep breaths, andughter danced in her eyes.
She got ready and headed downstairs, where the sound of a familiar song was humming from the kitchen. She called out with a smile, “Hannah.”
“Hey!”
Hannah came out and broke into a grin when she saw her.
“It’s been days since Ist saw you. Did you miss me?”
“Of course.” Dawn gave her a big hug and said softly, “I missed you, and I missed your cooking… Look at me, I’ve lost weight.”
Maybe it’s just something about getting older, but Hannah always fell for that. She hurried to check Dawn over, worried. “You really have! I’ll make you something good these next few days… Dawn, what’s that on your neck?”
She lifted her head, using the kitchen window as a mirror. Her expression changed in an
instant.
<i>That </i><i>jerk</i>!
<i>I </i><i>told </i><i>him </i><i>not </i><i>to </i><i>leave </i><i>marks </i><i>on </i><i>my </i><i>neck</i><i>! </i>
She puffed out her cheeks and quickly let her hair down to cover it up. “Oh, uh … I left the window openst night, and a mosquito got me. I’m fine, Hannah.”
She quickly ducked out to the dining room, but Hannah followed right behind.
“A mosquito, huh? What kind of mosquito leaves a mark like that?”
Dawn’s cheeks were already turning pink. She stuffed a bite of quiche in her mouth and looked up to see Hannah giving her a knowing, teasing grin.

“Hannah!”
“Alright, alright, don’t be mad.”

Hannah pulled out a chair and sat down, chuckling awkwardly. “I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t interrupting anything. If I were, I would pack up and move out right away. I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone!”
Dawn sighed. She could never figure out how Hannah stayed so gossipy at her age.
