Dinner went perfectly well. Simon was attentive, grilling the meat for everyone, while Molly ate with boundless appetite.

Sebastian and Simon drank together, matching each other glass for glass until both began to feel lightheaded.

“I can’t drink anymore,” Simon said, blinking hard as his vision started to blur. He couldn’t afford to get too drunk. If anything urgent happened, he needed to be sober enough to handle it.

“Same here,” Sebastian agreed, setting down his glass. His arm had only recently healed, and he knew better than to push his limits.

The two men had reached their limit–just drunk enough to loosen up but not so much that they’d regret it later.

“Alright,” Caitlin said, smiling. “We’ve all had plenty. Let’s call it a night.”

She turned to Molly. “What about you? Coming back with us?”

Molly shook her head quickly, already forming her excuse. “No, I’ll stay and take care of Simon. He drank too much. Someone needs to make sure he’s alright. You guys go ahead, I’ll walk you out.”

Caitlin and Molly exchanged a knowing look but said nothing. Molly saw them to the door, smiling sweetly. “Drive safe!”

Once the door closed behind them, she turned back toward the house, a small triumphant smile curling at her lips.

When she returned to the dining area, Simon was gathering up the dishes. She rushed forward and caught his hand. “Leave those. You’re drunk, you need to rest.”

She tugged him gently toward the stairs. “Come on, I’m taking you to bed.”

With his arm draped over her shoulders, Simon followed her, smiling faintly. “You sure you shouldn’t go home?”

“Of course I’m sure. I’m a grown woman. I can stay wherever I want.”

Molly had made up her mind tonight. She wasn’t leaving.

Once they reached the bedroom, she helped him sit on the bed. “You okay?” she asked softly.

“I’m fine…” he murmured.

“Good. Then you rest a bit while I take a shower. Wait for me.”

She grabbed her bag–packed in advance with a set of lacy nightwear–and practically skipped into the bathroom. After a long, hot shower that left her smelling like roses, she came out, ready to make her move.

Only to find Simon fast asleep.

“Simon…”

She called his name a few times, but he didn’t stir.

Her shoulders slumped. Wasn’t alcohol supposed to make people more enthusiastic? How could he fall asleep now of all times?

She sighed. Being with a man this proper was…. well, frustrating.

Still, she couldn’t stay mad. She crawled under the blanket beside him and nestled into his arms. Whether or not anything happened, she was going to sleep with him in her arms tonight. One step at a time.

Across town, Sebastian didn’t take Caitlin back to the Vanderbilt house. Instead, he drove her to their seaside villa.

The moment they stepped through the door, he swept her off her feet and carried her upstairs.

“Hey! Your arm’s not completely healed yet. Put me down!” Caitlin protested, hitting his shoulder lightly.

“It’s healed enough,” he said with a smirk. “Doesn’t stop me from carrying my wife.”

He carried her straight into the bathroom, kicked the door closed behind them, and said, “Let’s take a shower.”

But Sebastian’s idea of a “simple shower” turned out to be anything but simple.

Soon, the frosted glass was fogged with steam, their silhouettes entwined within it.

By the time he wrapped her in a towel and carried her back to bed, Caitlin was half–asleep from exhaustion. He dried her hair carefully before lying down beside her, drawing her into his arms.

They drifted off together, heartbeats steady and close.

When Caitlin woke up the next morning, sunlight filtered softly through the curtains. Sebastian was already awake, watching her.

“You’ve been up long?” she asked sleepily.

“Just a little while,” he murmured, propped on one elbow, gazing down at her.

Her long hair spread across the white pillow like waves of silk, her skin glowing against the soft light. She looked like a painting–beautiful, serene, and real.

Caitlin smiled faintly. “I wonder how things went with Molly and Simon last night. You think she got what she

wanted?”

Sebastian chuckled. “Hard to say. Knowing Simon, my guess is your sister was enthusiastic, and he was…

disciplined. He wouldn’t do anything reckless while she’s still recovering.”

“Hopefully, they’re even closer now,” Caitlin said.

Sebastian’s lips curved. “I’d like us to be closer too.”

Before she could reply, he leaned in and kissed her deeply.

Their fingers intertwined, and the kiss grew more intense, carrying all the heat and tenderness of his love.

He loved her–completely, desperately, down to the bone.

Caitlin melted under his touch, her heart pounding as his strength and warmth surrounded her.

Meanwhile, at LL Villa, morning light streamed through the curtains.

Simon woke first, his mind clearing slowly. He remembered lying down to rest for a moment–and then nothing.

He turned his head and froze. Molly was curled up against him, still asleep, her face relaxed and peaceful in his arms.

Relief washed over him. She was still there.

Then came the guilt. She had gone to take a shower, told him to wait, and he had just fallen asleep. She must have been so disappointed.
