Ethan’s pov"That was close." I caught her unsteady shoulders and lost her consciousness. Her behaviour before walking away earlier came back to my mind. I didn't expect her to have that kind of side and act out of character when drunk.I slowly smoothed her hair while looking at her face, asleep in my arms. A small giggle appeared on those tiny lips. I didn't know what was going through her head, but I knew something fun was spinning in her mind."You seem to like it a lot." I gasped and looked back, realising Lira's existence, who had somehow returned to the table with full consciousness.Unlike before, her face seemed to be swaying, her eyes unfocused, and she danced along with Sarah before Sarah finally returned to the table while babbling about how happy she was on this day.She took me by surprise. I was suddenly caught by her, looking at Sarah while smiling at her. Of course, that allowed her to see into my eyes.Lira smiled at me. "If you're with her, then I agree. I support y
Ethan pov's"Sarah, what are you doing?" From the look in her eyes, I could tell she was still under the influence of alcohol.I gulped down the saliva in my throat as her haunting gaze looked at me intensely, my heartbeat racing uncharacteristically, followed by heavy breathing and my surroundings feeling hot.My hands clenched into tight fists as Sarah brought her face closer to mine. I once again tried to calm down by closing my eyes. Indoctrinating my mind that what I might be doing to her is not correct because right now, Sarah is unconscious. She doesn't really know what she's about to do.But her breath around my face soon obliterated my sanity. As her lips pressed against mine, I opened my eyes and welcomed her warmly. My hands traveled to the back of her neck and pressed him closer to me, tilting my head to kiss her more freely.She moved her lips and smiled between kisses before finally closing her eyes and enjoying the increasingly intense kiss.I leaned closer, but she sud
Sarah's povMy body felt overwhelming before I didn't realize what I was doing. At that moment, my chest felt tight, and I had trouble breathing. I realized what I had done because of drunkenness, but it was too late for me to stop it and push him away."I want you." Instead of taking a step back, I followed my instincts and continued. His every touch stimulated me, tickling the surface of my skin and pushing me for more. I kissed him back intensely, the heat travelling from the tips of my toes all the way up and forcing me to take off my clothes.Ethan's intent gaze, which sinks my gaze into it, makes me vaguely not listen to what he's talking about. After that, he didn't speak and came closer to me, getting closer until I could feel his breath tickling the surface of my face.But what was he doing by just staying there and not coming closer? He made the turmoil inside me worse until I immediately pulled away and kissed his lips. He did it purposefully to get me started by showing m
Ethan's POVI knocked softly on the door again. "Are you done?" I asked her who had been in there for five minutes.Unlike before, I no longer heard the sound of water running inside. I didn't know what she was doing, but I was starting to worry about her. I knew the night was new for her, if I had known I would have been a little gentler with her, though I also questioned how I could control the natural urge in me to be more human.I had gone wild when she kissed me, and it was hard for me to think usually, to think of anything else about her. All I knew was that I wanted her, and she wanted me, so while she was still breathing correctly, I kept at it, looking into her eyes until they signaled me with a weakened look."Sarah, are you okay?" I asked again, but I did not get an answer.My feet moved in place, restlessly waiting for her answer. Once again, I was about to knock just as she opened her door, and I held my hand in the air. "What's wrong? Something happened?"She shook her h
Sarah pov'sI groaned softly with horror on my face. "Seriously, him," I grumbled as the door opened to reveal Ethan and a waiter smiling at me.I'd told him to be careful when he spoke. Someone could probably hear him walking by, considering it wasn't just the two of us. In the mornings, I'd usually see some of the servants in the corridor cleaning up or just waking us up in case we were out of the room for a long time on a weekday, and sure enough, someone overheard his conversation, and I was the one who suffered the embarrassment.The embarrassment made me stare at her sharply until I heard her agree with the maid aunt's words. She stared at me while confessing her feelings, which made my eyelids open wide to stare at her, also welcomed by the boisterous thumping of my ear-splitting heart."Miss, here's the drink." The waiter who came in brought milk for me to drink.Shyness no longer affecting me, I nodded to her. "Yes, just put it over there." Then I returned to silence, looking
Sarah’s pov"For the submission file, they want it sent within this week." I placed the file that needed Ethan's approval on his desk.Ethan glanced at it for a moment before returning to his computer screen, his face and eyes looking severe.I left him there since he had been very busy with his work. Ever since we arrived three hours ago in her private room, she had only been talking about work casually and seriously.Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. But how could he behave like that after what we missed together last night?Am I the only one who's awkward with the situation? Or was it just me who felt something for the relationship, while he didn't feel anything? I'm overthinking it because it's memorable, while he's not?Oh God, when I think about it, my chest feels like it's beating fast again. But this time, I feel a bit disappointed.He sighed softly and threw her shoulders on the chair she was sitting on. "My face will have a big hole in it if you don't stop looking at me
Sarah's pov"He slept so well," I said softly, stroking the head gently.He occasionally moved his head in my lap, shifting to find comfort and then back to sleep. For about an hour, he was asleep, and I felt my legs aching.It seemed like the weight of that head was really hampering the movement of my blood flowing, if he stayed there any longer I was sure I would be in trouble. But how could I wake him up?Ethan was asleep with his tired face. I couldn't imagine how tired he was, but I knew he was extremely tired from his daily activities. What's more, lately, he's become even busier because I've added to his to-do list.I felt bad for him, but if I could only look after her while he slept, then I had no problem doing that.I gasped at him waking up. With his eyes open, she looked up at me with a smile.That smile made me stiff and guilty for looking at her so intensely. I had imagined something a bit wild about his pretty face, but I swear I didn't touch it."Thanks to you, I slept
Sarah's pov"Give me the key." I held my hand to Ethan, who had pulled out the key and was now holding it.He looked at me quizzically, paused, and looked at me for a long moment. "Are you sure you don't want me to call you someone to drive?"I shook my head. "No need. I didn't offer to drive you to make you bother about what I'm going home with. You make the arrangements when we leave, so let me make the arrangements when we return."I played with my eyebrows to make him believe me. The man with the thick lips didn't smile at me at all. He was holding the key, and it looked like he was hesitating. "I think I can ask someone to drive you to the office, and I'll pick you up later."My mouth chuckled softly, and then my hand snatched the key in his hand. "Don't exaggerate, I've been driving well for a long time."He laughed at my complaint. I noticed his face looked much fresher now. "Alright, drive carefully. Then let me know when you arrive." He lightly rubbed my cheek before getting
