The temperature had dropped after the heavy rain. The air became cool.
As soon as Janet took out the key to open the door, she heard footsteps and the rustling of plastic behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, a black shadow engulfed her.
Her body stiffened, and her heart began to race in her chest.
'Oh, God! I hope Ethan has returned home.'
She waved her purse to attack, but the tall figure quickly dodged.
The man's strong body pressed her against the door. His steady breath blew against her air. She could feel his rising body temperature. The man tucked Janet's long hair behind her ear and gently kissed the back of her neck.
"My husband is inside. If you dare to even lay a finger on me, he will beat you to death!" Janet's voice quivered with fear.
"You have another husband?" Hearing the familiar voice, Janet finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around and pinched his arm. "That wasn't funny. I was so scared that my heart was in my throat the entire time." "I'm sorry. Let's go inside." Ethan smiled and ruffled her hair. Then, he leaned forward and opened the door.
As soon as they entered the apartment, Ethan grabbed her waist, and the two fell onto the sofa. Janet moaned as he peppered kisses on her ear and collarbone. Ethan was strong and aggressive. "I miss you so much. We agreed to sleep in my room tonight," he said breathlessly.
Janet didn't remember agreeing to it.
"No. I have something important to tell you. Please listen to me. Brandon texted me again," Janet said, turning her head aside. Her ears turned red, and she felt itchy.
She told Ethan about what happened in the company today. After listening to everything, Ethan buried his head in the crook of her neck. "It's good that your boss is willing to help you. I'm sure he can solve the problem," he said in a muffled voice.
