Chapter 122

As Alex finished speaking, immediately Ethan felt desire rush through him. Her looks captivated him, her smell drew him in, and her figure enticed him. Her silky nightgown hugged her shape making Ethan's heart beat faster and his blood started pounding.

"She looks stunning,"

he thought taking in her form. "How can I say no to her?"

Alex's hands moved slowly and carefully toward Ethan's mask.

Her fingers touched the edges light as a feather.

At that moment Ethan's breath caught in his throat. His body went stiff as he tried to fight the desire that almost took over.

'I can't do this,'

he said to himself. His mind spun with what might happen if he got exposed, knowing he can't trust Alex just yet.

'This isn't the life I planned. Money can't change who I am.'

At that moment Ethan yanked himself from Alex. His hands shook as he shoved her away.

"No,"

he said, his voice raw.

"I can't. I won't."
