In the end, Ethan Grant woke Shirley Thorne up.
His years of upbringing told him that he should never, under any circumstances, take advantage of a woman. If he had, he needed to stop immediately and cut his losses.
Uh...
This also explained why Shirley Thorne's IQ seemed to have plummeted—she hadn't woken up naturally at all.
When Ethan Grant first let go of Shirley Thorne, he was still a bit dazed.
His body still seemed to crave the unique softness of a woman. Every place she had touched felt scorching hot. A faint, sweet fragrance wafted past his nose, and his brain registered it as the perfume she always wore.
If he hadn't been flustered by the beautiful woman's scent, would a man as powerful as the nation's richest man have gotten hit in the head by Shirley Thorne's morning stretch?
What a joke!
But thankfully, he had woken up before Shirley Thorne. She hadn't seen him sleeping with his arm around her waist. It was a blessing in disguise.
