CHAPTER 12: In Lucy's Arms (R18)

After the heart-to-heart talk with Ethan, Bennett dropped him off at his apartment and zoomed off. Ethan rode the elevator to his penthouse condo, got in the bathroom and took a long shower.

When he finally stepped out, he went straight to bed. He hadn't gotten much sleep last night. He had spent most of the night telling some of the almost unbelievable stories of his conquests to his fellow inmates.

He slept deeply and peacefully in his king-sized bed. He woke up by 3:00 pm feeling hungry and thirsty. Still feeling sleepy, Ethan went into the kitchen. He microwaved the leftover pizza in the refrigerator, grabbed two bottles of beer and sat at the kitchen counter to eat.

He ate hurriedly. Not because the pizza was so delicious but because he was hungry. He washed down the pizza with a bottle of beer.
