You could even say it tasted awful.

Hannah smiled in a strange way. “It’s full of expensive herbs. A strong taste is normal. Want another bowl?”

The bitter, rising medicinal taste made Dawn feel a little nauseous. She waved her hand quickly. “No, no… Too much of a good thing isn’t good either.”

“That’s true.”

Hannah nodded. “Then I’d better bring a bowl to Ethan.”

Otherwise, if the effects kicked in at different times, it wouldn’t be good.

Dawn even felt a little smug and joked, “Then hurry up. Ethan might actually like the taste!”

That man usually won’t even take medicine. This soup could make him cry.

A glint flashed across Hannah’s eyes. “Alright, alright… I’ll go now. Dawn, you relax a bit. Stay up for a while before you sleep.”

“Okay.”

Dawn just assumed Hannah was being polite.

She didn’t think deeper about it. Hannah should’ve said to rest early, not “stay up for a while.”

She’d already showered, so she lay on the bed and scrolled through X with nothing to do.

Before long, it started getting hotter and hotter.

“What’s going on? Did the AC break?”

She let out a breath, pulled at her collar, and went to lower the temperature by the door.

But it didn’t help at all. The heat rising from inside her felt like it was about to burn through her veins.

Dawn couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to take another shower.

In the bathroom, she slipped off her clothes one by one. Her pale skin reflected in the mirror, tracing perfect lines along her waist.

Warm water poured over her head, ran down her long, straight legs, and gathered on the floor like something carefully crafted by God.

But for some reason, the more she washed, the hotter it felt.

She gave up and turned the hot water off completely.

She showered with cold water.

Just then, the bathroom door opened from outside. The moment Dawn turned around, the tall figure of a man filled the doorway, his arm naturally wrapping around her waist.

Even though they’d seen each other like this many times, Dawn still froze.

Wearing nothing at all always made you feel… exposed.

Her voice came out hoarse. “What are you doing here?”

“What’s wrong?”

He lowered his gaze to her, his eyes like a burning fire that surrounded her. “Aren’t you showering?”

“I am. You should go back to your room and shower by yourself. Get out.”

Her words were soft, with no real threat behind them.

His breathing grew heavy, washing over her face. “The soup Hannah brought has something in it.”

Dawn paused and looked up at him.

His handsome face was veiled in steam, carrying a kind of dangerous allure. The more she looked, the more she felt … like she could gobble him up.

She bit her lip hard and said quietly, “If you knew it was wrong, why did you drink it?”

“Didn’t you say I should?”

“I…”

Dawn wanted to argue, but then thought about it again. If Hannah meant to stir things up, she’d definitely pin it on her.

She pouted. “That’s unfair.”

A low laugh spilled from above her.

One of his hands lifted her chin. The other reached out and adjusted the water to warm, not hot. In a husky voice, he said, “How is that unfair?”

Dawn turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

“You knew everything and still drank it. You’re obviously picking on me.”

“Yup.”

Ethan’s Adam’s apple moved. “So I picked on you. What are you gonna do about it?”

Now that he’d drunk the soup, he had every reason to get close to her. Why wouldn’t he take that deal?

Even if it were poison, he’d swallow it gladly.

The shower poured down on both of them.

Ethan hadn’t taken off his clothes. The fabric clung wetly to his body, and the muscle lines beneath became faintly visible, radiating heat.

Dawn already felt like she was losing control.

Now she saw him like this and thought… maybe she didn’t need to control it.

She was going to be with him anyway.

Her chest rose and fell. The next second, she wrapped her arms around his neck, turned the tables, and breathed against him. “Then how do you plan to pick on me?”

His eyes narrowed. He didn’t move or speak.

“Like this?

“Or like this?”

When her kiss slipped toward his throat, Ethan finally snapped. His hand landed on her waist and he lifted her in one swift motion.

He turned her and pressed her against the wall.

He supported her back with one hand so she wouldn’t hit the cold surface.

Her foot rested softly on the top of his.

She smiled and said, “Mr. Jackson, you’re pretty warm.”

“So… don’t I deserve a reward?” His voice was ragged.

She said, “Yeah, you do.”

That single word was like a passcode. Before the final note even faded, the fire in his eyes flared out of control.
