Ethan stared at the hotel room ceiling beneath the dim amber light.
A faint murmur escaped him before he finally pushed himself up into a sitting position.
"Baby, you're awake?"
A smooth arm wrapped around his waist, fingers sliding across his toned chest.
He could feel the naked body pressing against his back.
A woman.
Kissing his bare shoulder lazily.
Ethan let out a quiet sigh and removed her hand from him.
"I'm leaving. Go back to sleep."
He slid off the bed.
"Leaving? But…"
Ignoring her completely, Ethan gathered the scattered pieces of his clothing from the carpet and dressed himself without another word.
"Baby… can we do it one more time…?"
Ethan turned around, looking at the woman now wrapping the blanket around her curvy body.
"We already had our fun. That's all."
"But… Ethan… I love you," the woman whined softly.
Ethan shook his head with a faint cynical smile.
"That's what every woman says to me."
The woman stared at him for a moment.
Not angry.
