He whispered to Ethan Parker: "Lord Ethan, you can ask me for help if you don't know how to get along with her, you know."

The man said, in an equally low voice: "Piss off."

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm leaving." Nate Bass smiled and left.

At that time, Kylie came out of the fitting room and noticed that Nate Bass had gone. She didn't ask why, but she handed the dress to the saleswoman and said, looking at her husband: "This item…"

"We will take it," he interrupted.

After dinner, Kylie took the two shopping bags to the bedroom.

She was shocked when she looked into his wardrobe again. She hadn't noticed before, but now she could see that all of his white shirts had been specially made for him.

She knew that his clothes didn't have any logos, but now that they were next to his new blue shirt, it was clear that nobody else in the world had the same white shirts like him.

He exercised for a while at the gym, then he entered the bedroom and walked towards her when he saw that she was clearing up the closet space.

She noticed his shadow coming towards her, and then someone put a hand on her waist.

He bent down and said quietly next to her ear: "Kylie Finch, do you know what I thought when I saw you in that dress this afternoon?"

"That I'm ugly?" She turned her head away to avoid his hot breath.

"No," The man replied, putting his jaw against her beautiful collarbone and saying slowly: "I want to tear it apart."

She didn't have time to say anything before she was gently pushed towards the bed.

"You said that we could continue at home…" His sexy voice was like Mozart's music. Kylie couldn't resist it.

And he couldn't resist his feelings anymore. He put his hands around her waist, then inside her dress.

She couldn't think of what to do. It was the first time she felt that his kiss carried some kind of magic, making her lose all reason.

She looked at his beautiful face and eyes. He wanted to have all of her, and she wanted the same as him.

When they actually decided to do it, Ethan Parker didn't bite at her madly like the previous night. Instead, he gently kissed her body and then…

When he finally put himself inside her, he felt some resistance, like a wall.

Kylie moaned in pain. He slowly pulled himself out and covered her with a blanket.

Even if she didn't work in the entertainment industry, she had still been in love with Aiden for five years. She would have done anything for him. There's no way that she was still…

But it was truly her first time…

"What…" Kylie noticed that he had stopped. She raised her head and looked at him. Her face was red.

Ethan Parker stood up and lay next to her. He tried to calm himself down.

Even her perfection made him feel worthless.

"Maybe we should do it some other day…"

"What do you mean?" Kylie looked at him.

Ethan Parker put his arm under her head and covered his eyes with his other arm. "I want to wait till you fall in love with me, instead of just being moved by my story."

Then he held her inside his arms and asked: "Um…why, didn't you tell me this is your first time?"

"This…" She blushed again. She hid her face against his shoulder. "You didn't ask."

But he obviously would have known about it eventually.

She looked pensive, then said, after having been silent for a while: "I know I asked too much of you before. Men like you have been with other women…I can let the past go. But I hope that you can break away from the past once you've been with me."

He was surprised by her words, and his lips twitched a little. "It's hard to say. But I can guarantee that you're the only one in my life."

She wasn't very comfortable with his response. He had asked her to have a clean break with the past, but he couldn't do the same for her?

She immediately changed her attitude and asked him: "Then did we do it or not?"

"Even if we didn't do it, you are still my wife…" Then he sat up and spread open her legs. "Let me see if you are hurt."

"What?" Kylie started laughing and covered her mouth. "I'm fine. Trust me."

He was still dominating over her. He had wanted to see it, and she had refused, but he had no intention of moving just yet. After a while, Kylie started talking.

"If you answer my question, I'll let you see it."

"Okay."

"You said that we have a fake marriage. That's not true, right?" She looked at him intently, her face still red.

Their position was hard to describe…

"Yes, you're right," he finally said, very honestly.

"You…" Kylie wanted to kick him, but he was still holding onto her leg, "Then it's also not true that you married me because your family forced you to marry someone?"

"Yes."

"Ethan Parker!" Kylie kicked him with her other leg, but he grabbed it as well. She asked him, angrily: "Then you ran into me in front of the coffee shop on purpose?"

"Yes."

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

She tried to sit up, but he pushed her back down on the bed.

"That's four questions," he said, still insisting on looking between her legs.

It was the first time a man had ever looked at that part of her body. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide underground forever. "I'm fine! I'm not injured… You don't need to look for such a long time," she exclaimed.

"Just a bit more." He burrowed his finger inside her.

"Ah!" She screamed and glared at him angrily. Did he want to take her virginity with his finger?

Their bodies, and their hearts, had grown much closer that night.

The following morning, she woke early, but he was already gone.

He always woke up before her. He was always so self-disciplined.

She changed her clothes, cleaned her face, and brushed her teeth. She went down to the gym and found him there.
