What? Bettie felt her heart race.
Is it a gift from another man? Are you worried that I might see it?
Bettie was at a loss for words. She rolled her eyes at him and nodded, Yes, exactly. It is indeed a gift from another man. Its a secret between us. How could I let you see it?

Lance raised his eyebrow. What does the letter say? Is he ending things with you because youre getting married? If so, he knows his place.
Bettie scoffed at his comment. Youre underestimating my charm! He knew I was getting married, and he was so worried I would leave him that he pleaded with me in the letter!
While organizing her clothes, she spoke casually. He said he would be happy to be my secret lover, as long as I visit him twice a month.
Lance pursed his lips together.
Seeing his silence, Bettie raised her eyebrows at him and continued packing her suitcase. She stood by the closet, selecting more clothes.
Suddenly, Lance moved closer from behind. His breath on her ear, he whispered, So, you meet your secret lover twice a month. Im your lawful husband. How often do you plan to sleep with me each month?
The sensation tickled. Bettie instinctively shivered and pulled away.

How often do you plan to sleep with me each month?
Didnt we agree to sleep in separate rooms? Stay away from me.
Betties heart was pounding so hard that she found herself short of breath.

Their agreement only specified that Lance could not enter Betties room without permission, nothing more. That was to say he could enter her room whenever she allowed it or she could visit his.
I I dont want to. Bettie fought to steady her shaky voice and swallowed, her throat dry with thirst.
Oh? Are you sure you dont want to?
Bettie opened her mouth to speak, her throat burning and her body aflame, her refusal choked in her throat.
Lances hand gently caressed her waist, igniting a fire within her and drawing her closer to him.
Just then, there came an unexpected knock at the door.
Ill open the door! Bettie snapped to reality and hurried away.
With a spark of desire in his eyes, Lance watched her leave with a sly grin. He took a picture of the gift box hidden in the wardrobe.
