Ethan's POV

I couldn't believe Sharon was here. I had crept out of Emma's room and tiptoed over to mine. I closed the door softly and hopped in the shower. I heard the door open and closed and the sound of heels hitting on the floor as I soaped my body.

"Baby, are you in here?"

"Yeah, I'm in the shower," I answered.

She entered the bathroom. "Where were you? I've been looking everywhere for you, Ethan."

"Just came from the beach. I didn't know you were coming," I answered, the water running over me.

"I'll wait in the bedroom. I need a favor from you."

When I got out of the shower she was sitting on my bed, bouncing her heels over the floor with her long, crossed legs.

"Hi, sweetie." I gave her a quick kiss. "What's going on? You're supposed to be out of the country."

"I know, I know. I was but I had to fly back because I didn't have enough money for a clothing line I plan to take over in the future."

"And how much you need?"

"Not much, just ten thousand."

I heaved a sigh but I was going to do anything to get rid of her at this moment. I only wanted to spend time with Emma this weekend. So I wrote Sharon a check and she took it smiling.

"Thanks baby, I appreciate it," she said with a brighter smile.

"You're welcome."

"I'm hungry. What do you have to eat? I still have about half an hour to spare."

"Let me get dressed and we'll go downstairs."

"Okay."

I prepared a plate for the both of us and we sat down to eat. She started talking about Italy, the fashion shows and the models, and the sights she had seen so far.

"Baby, I'm in love with the place. It's so perfect." She wouldn't stop talking.

I smiled and nodded to make it appear I was paying attention, but I really wasn't listening to what she was saying. I couldn't stop thinking about Emma. Her body was so perfect, her skin so smooth and soft. Her sweet lips on mine as I devoured her mouth, she tasted so delicious.

"Baby! Baby!"

I snapped out of my thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm just thinking about tomorrow. The auction."

"Oh, so sorry I won't make it. But I'm sort of happy that the maids are going along instead of just you.copy right hot novel pub
