Chapter 42 The Lake

• Ethan pulls me into his side as we walk out of the elevator. He’s warm and the feeling of his hand around my waist is sparking a fire in me. I blush, yes, another fire. The hall is busy, and I notice everyone is there. I see a lot of faces I know and a few that I don’t.
• Some are sitting together and some are walking around. Everyone seems happy here, safe. Someone has some slow jams playing, which makes me want to dance.
• Ethan’s hand trails up my waist and I know my face has betrayed me when he lets out a low chuckle. When we walk into the kitchen, I stiffen when I see Sasha turns around and sees us. Her long red hair is in a braid down her back, she’s wearing a mini skirt and a low-cut blouse.
