Charloote who had been sound asleep just moments ago, suddenly let out a soft whimper. Her lips pouted, and she clutched at the sleeve of Sean’s shirt, refusing to

let go.

“Are you awake?” Sean leaned in slightly. He placed both hands on either side of her body and looked down at her.

Charlotte stirred in her sleep, lips barely parting as she mumbled, “Zac…”

Sean’s eyes darkened. He froze.

Zac?

She was dreaming about Zac Gibson?

Even drunk, she couldn’t stop thinking about that guy?

She had already blurted nonsense about his so–called bedroom performance issues at the bar, and now she was mumbling another guy’s name?

He had almost forgotten what brought him to the bar in the first place. He had gone there to confront her.

She had no right to say something like that. She hadn’t even tried. How would she know he wasn’t capable?

Sean’s brows drew tight. A chill settled in his chest.

“Unbelievable. What a heartless little thing,” he thought.

He straightened up, looking down at her from above, jaw set.

“You’re still thinking about him?”

She couldn’t hear him, but he asked anyway.

The air was thick with jealousy.

It felt like someone had smashed a whole jar of it open in the room.

“Charlotte Riley.” His voice dropped, low and tense. “you’d better think long and hard before you answer.‘

But before he could spiral any further, Charlotte shifted under the covers. Her lashes fluttered. She rolled over, burying her face in the pillow and murmuring in a sweet, sleepy voice, “Snac… I want a snack…”

Sean was at a loss for words.

A snack?

Ol:. Snack. Not Zac,

Sean let out a breathless chuckle. All that tension vanished in an instant.

He leaned down again, the edges of his voice softening with affection.

“Lottie, let me get you cleaned up first, okay? I’ll give you a snack after your bath.”

He knew she liked to be clean. If she woke up in the morning still in last night’s clothes, reeking of alcohol, she would definitely be annoyed with herself. The room was quiet enough that he could hear her gentle breathing.

Charlotte didn’t respond. She was completely out.

Sean waited a few seconds, then sighed and walked into the bathroom to start the bath. Once the tub was ready, he returned to the bed and carefully scooped her into his arms.

“Let’s get you cleaned up,” he whispered. “You’ll feel better after.”

He gently undressed her and lowered her into the warm water.

The moment she felt it, Charlotte stirred, eyes half–open, still dazed.

“Sean…” she murmured.

Sean…

“Be good,” Sean said softly.

His movements were gentle and respectful. He wet her hair, rubbed shampoo between his palms, then began massaging it into her scalp.

She leaned against the tub, her body finally relaxing into the warmth. Her breathing slowed, and a content little sigh escaped her lips.

Once she was washed and rinsed, Sean dried her off and wrapped her in a big fluffy towel. He carried her back to the bedroom, sat ber down, and began blow–drying

her hair.

By the time he was finished, Charlotte had sobered up a little.

She tugged on his shirt collar. “Stay with me,” she whispered.

Sean lowered his eyes and spoke gently. “Alright. I’ll stay.”
