Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 167

...

When their eyes met, Dawn froze in place.

She wondered why the room was still so bright even with the lights off.

Ethan gave her a half-smile, his deep voice teasing. "So ... are you sleepwalking, or just pretending to sleep?"

Dawn pressed her lips together. After a long silence, she muttered, "I'm sleepwalking."

"Oh yeah?"

The playful lilt in his tone tugged straight at her heartstrings. "Then what should I do? You want me to tuck you back in and sing you to sleep?"

Dawn knew he was messing with her. She suddenly clenched her teeth, spun around, and straddled him. "Forget it. I'm already awake. Let's just do it!"

Ethan was stunned. He definitely hadn't expected her to make such a bold move.

He blinked for two seconds before speaking, voice low. "You sure?"

...

What is there to be sure about? Isn't this exactly the right time? She had finally built up the courage, and here he was hesitating.

"You can't handle it, huh?"

Annoyed, Dawn pretended to lie back down. "If you can't, then fine—let's just sleep."

But before she could move, Ethan's hand clamped down on her thigh.

In the dim light, she could see the veins on the back of his hand stand out against his long fingers.

She looked up at him. His eyes glowed faintly in the dark, sharp and intense like a wolf about to strike.

Her heart skipped. "Didn't you just say you didn't want to? What are you doing now?"

...

Ethan's voice grew even deeper. "You're a girl. Don't talk so crudely."

"Okay."

At this point, she was already past embarrassment. Crude or not, it didn't matter anymore.

Just as Dawn was about to roll off him, his strong arm slid up her back and pulled her down. In a blink, she was pressed close against his chest.

Ethan's eyes were rimmed red as he stared at her intently.

Dawn shifted, uneasy under his gaze. "You ... "

But before she could finish, Ethan leaned up and kissed her.

Both of them froze, their eyes still open, staring at each other.
