Zoe instinctively reached up and covered Shawn's eyes. "Hey, no peeking!"
She didn't know why, but when Shawn's eyes landed on that scantily clad woman shamelessly flirting with him, a fire ignited in her chest.
'I should teach that woman a lesson right now,' she thought, the urge to act burning inside her.
The elevator arrived at their floor with a soft chime. Zoe tugged at Shawn's hand, ready to step out.
Just then, the man with his arm around the woman suddenly reached out from behind, his hand aiming straight for her backside. But just as he was about to touch her, another hand clamped down on his wrist, stopping him cold.
With a sickening crack, the man's wrist bone snapped. Instantly, he recoiled, howling in agony.
The man glared furiously at Shawn. "How dare you break my hand! Do you know who you're messing with? You'll pay for this!"
"Worthless trash," Shawn muttered. He had intended to ignore the bastard, but when the guy dared to cop a feel on Zoe, he couldn't stay silent any longer.
The man pointed at Shawn and snarled, "Just you wait! I'm calling my crew right now. You're dead meat!"
Shawn wrapped an arm around Zoe's shoulders and led her into their room.
Once they entered the room, Zoe teased Shawn playfully, "Did you hear that? He's calling his crew over. So, what's your plan?"
She'd always handled her own problems, never letting anyone fight her battles. But just now, seeing Shawn step in to protect her, she found herself enjoying it a little. Even now, her heart still felt all sweet.
"If one comes, I'll take one. If it's two, I'll take them both," Shawn said. He shrugged off his jacket and loosened his tie with a casual flick.
People said men in ties always looked so buttoned-up and untouchable. As Shawn loosened his tie, exposing that chiseled Adam's apple and those sharp collarbones, Zoe's thoughts couldn't help but drift somewhere they definitely shouldn't.
Her gaze fell on the round bed, bathed in a pink glow, strewn with rose petals and a bottle of red wine, along with a generous assortment of adult toys and other naughty accessories clearly meant to spice things up.
Zoe thought to herself, 'It'd be a real shame not to make the most of a place like this.'
Zoe strode over, snatched the tie from Shawn's hand, bound his wrists with it in one swift motion, and then pushed him down onto the edge of the bed.
The tension between them crackled in the air. One spark was all it would take to set them both ablaze.
Zoe loomed over Shawn, her fingers tracing slowly along his jawline. She purred, "Mr. Ludwig, I don't recall you ever teaching me any combat skills. Maybe we should get some practice in right here."
Shawn's Adam's apple bobbed sharply. "You're playing with fire," he growled.
"Let's say I am. Want to play with me?" Zoe leaned in, her lips hovering dangerously close to his, as if she were about to kiss him.
Shawn's eyes snapped shut as he surged up, pinning Zoe beneath him on the bed. Their gazes locked, tension crackling in the air between them.
Zoe's breath hitched. She whispered, "Mr. Ludwig, are you really going to do something to me?"
Shawn took a deep breath and released Zoe. "I need a cold shower," he said, desperate to cool off.
Zoe couldn't help but laugh out loud as she watched Shawn bolt into the shower.
Zoe murmured to herself, 'Medusa always said a man like Shawn is too good to pass up—even if you plan to kill him, you must at least get a taste first, or you'll regret it forever.
'I used to think she was exaggerating, but tonight proved the rumors were true.'
