Her pale shoulders and stomach were bare, her fragrance overwhelming at such close distance.
The next second, before I could react, her cheeks flushed as she perched on my lap, arms around my neck.
“Ethan, if this really bothers you, I can make it up to you. We’ll call it even, and you won’t blame Sarah anymore, okay?”
I was taken aback, though my expression quickly hardened.
Sarah, seeing I didn’t immediately push her away, leaned in and whispered, “Darling, let me tell you a secret.”
I looked at her coldly.
“Jessica has plenty of tricks. She’s taught me many. Just give the word, and I promise tonight you won’t sleep a wink.”
“Sarah, don’t say it like that,” Jessica murmured, her face bright red.
Then she leaned closer, breath warm against me.
“Ethan, what do you think of my proposal? Does it work?”
At that moment, my entire worldview shattered.
One woman secretly carrying her best friend’s baby.
The other suggesting sleeping with me to settle the score.
What kind of twisted logic was this?
Still, I feigned hesitation and said, “Get off me first.”
Jessica slid off my lap.
“I’m going to take a shower,” I announced.
The two women exchanged knowing smiles.
