Brandon smiled softly, helpless and tender.

She was completely out of it, unconscious.

It wouldn’t be fair to Yvette if he was the only one who remembered their first intimate night.

If she woke up later thinking she’d been taken advantage of without consent, he would be nothing but a lowlife.

He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, fighting the burning heat surging through his body.

He covered her with the blanket, got dressed, and walked back to his room.

Even two cold showers were not enough to calm the restlessness inside him.

That night, he tossed and turned restlessly, wide awake, consumed by overwhelming heat.

The next morning, sunlight streamed onto the balcony, warming the whole bedroom.

Yvette opened her eyes, rubbed them, and stretched her arms.

She instantly noticed her arms were bare.

Confused, she quickly threw off the blanket and glanced down at herself.

Her clothes were gone!

Bits of memories slowly came back to her.

Last night, she had attended the gala with Brandon. After seeing Zoe with him, she’d felt terrible and drunk way too much.

What exactly had happened?

Yvette covered herself and got out of bed.

Her evening gown was placed neatly beside the bed.

She hurried into the bathroom.

Her makeup was gone, and she had no clothes on.

Yvette stared at the faint red mark on her neck in the mirror, her fingers trembling slightly.

Broken fragments of memories flooded her mind.

She could feel his hot breath, his burning kisses, and her own helpless responses.

She bit her lower lip hard. Her ears flushed bright red, and faint pink tint spread across her

nape.

She turned on the cold water and splashed it on her face.

The icy water cooled her heated skin, yet it couldn’t wash away her inner panic.

She took a cold shower to clear her messy thoughts.

When she heard footsteps outside the door, she quickly wrapped herself in a bathrobe.

Water dripped from the ends of her damp hair as she walked out of the bathroom.

“You’re awake?”

Brandon walked in, holding a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup.

The morning light highlighted his sharp jawline, yet it couldn’t hide the dark circles under his tired eyes.

He set the bowl down on the table. His gaze casually swept over her flushed ears, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

“Drink this.”

Yvette tightened her bathrobe. Staring at the soup, she recalled his burning gaze from the night before.

“Thank you.”

She spoke stiffly and nervously, then rushed into the walk–in closet.

She quickly got dressed and walked out with her long hair loose over her shoulders.

Brandon was sitting on the lounge chair, flipping through one of her books.

Yvette’s heart raced. She sat down beside him and picked up the spoon.

“What is this?”

“Chicken noodle soup.”

Brandon closed the book and stared quietly at her blushing face.

Yvette lowered her head and took a small sip.

Suddenly, Brandon reached out and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

The intimate gesture made Yvette freeze up completely.

Then his soft voice sounded beside her ear.

“I’m sorry, Yvette. You were dead drunk last night. You wouldn’t let me go, and I lost control for

a moment…”

“Don’t say it!” Yvette mumbled shyly, lifting her eyes to meet his.

“You don’t have to apologize. I wanted it too.”

The second she looked up, she got lost in his deep eyes.

Unspent longing lingered in his eyes, tangled with feelings beyond her grasp.

The air stilled. Nothing could be heard besides their quick, shallow breathing.

Yvette’s heart beat so fast it felt ready to burst out of her chest.

Blurry intimate scenes from last night kept replaying in her mind.

Brandon let out a slow breath and smiled affectionately.

“Yvette, I still need to tell you something.”

Her heart raced faster. She awkwardly buried her head and sipped her soup.

Why does he have to bring up such embarrassing things?

It happened. Does he really need to remind me when I barely remembered anything?

Brandon rested his elbow on the table and leaned closer to her, whispering near her ear.

“It’s not what you think. You passed out, so nothing else happened between us.”

His minty warm breath brushed against her neck.
