Chapter 195 Prove It To You


    Ethan choked on air with shock. His hold on J cked as he covered his mouth and coughed


    violently. He was flushed and out of breath by the time he recovered, and even his ears were


    burning.


    Sean was just as startled by J''s question that he lost control of the steering wheel. The car


    swerved to the side of the road and almost ran into a tree before he finally got it back on track. Sean


    thumped his fist against his chest and bit his lips in an effort topose himself.


    "Where in the world did you get that idea?" Ethan asked, his face a mask of disbelief.


    It was J''s turn to blush. By all ounts, she was still a conservative and rather pure woman,


    and this topic was throwing her out of herfort zone.


    She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers nervously. "When you said you were going to see


    Brandon, you made it sound like you two are very close. And remember the big fight we had over


    Christopher? Shortly after, he was transferred to Snape. I heard that Brandon was behind it, but


    what reason could he possibly have to do that all of a sudden?"


    Ethan let out a short, helpless sigh. "Have you ever considered that it might all be just


    coincidence?" "Oh, please. There can''t be so many coincidences happening around me in such a


    short span of time. Brandon has also helped me numerous times in thepany. I only told him a


    few words regarding that incident with Hannah, and he took care of it right away. Is that still a


    coincidence?" J was turning frantic. The more she said the words out loud, the more convinced


    she was of her presumptions. "Besides, you said so yourself that Brandon isn''t into women, so


    there''s no way he''s doing these things because he likes me. So why would he go to such lengths


    for my sake?"


    When she put it this way, Ethan had to admit that she made a lot of sense. He floundered for a


    moment, unable toe up with anything to refute her ims with.


    Sean nced at them through the rearview mirror and snickered under his breath. He silently


    praised J for her wild imagination.


    "You''ve misunderstood everything. It''s not what you think." Ethan closed his eyes and rubbed his


    nose. He racked his brains for a reasonable exnation, all to no avail.


    Worse, J thought he was being nonchnt about the matter.

    "Well, why don''t you make it clear to me, then?" she demanded. "Not to mention that you and


    Brandon were holed up in the men''s bathroom earlier. You were right there when he went inside,


    weren''t you? You stayed there for minutes on end!"


    What the hell had they been doing?


    Thoughts of the two men locked in an embrace had already been swirling in J''s head, and she


    couldn''t bear to think any further into the possibilities.


    Ethan blinked at her, both impressed and appalled at her creativity. "I didn''t see Brandon," he said,


    following it up with a silent curse at Garrett.


    He shouldn''t have gone along with the bastard''s n in the first ce. Ethan had practically just


    shot his own foot with it.


    J heaved a deep sigh. She didn''t believe a single word he said. She fell back wearily against


    her seat and looked out the window again.


    They had arrived at their neighborhood at this point, and the car slowly came to a halt in front of


    their apartment building.


    Wasting no time, J threw her door open and rushed outside, leaving Ethan staring at her back.


    She burst into their home and angrily tossed her mask into the trash bin, feeling upset for some


    reason. Despite their intimacy and rtive closeness, she felt as though she knew nothing about


    Ethan at all.


    He came through the door just a few momentster. He had taken off his suit jacket and draped it


    over his arm. Ethan discarded it to the side, then strode over to J and pulled her into his arms.


    His face was serious, and his tone was firm when he said, "I promise you, it''s not what you think. I


    can''t give you a proper exnation right now, but I need you to trust me when I say that you are


    mistaken."


    J made a feeble attempt to struggle against his grasp, but she could only look up at him in the


    end. He didn''t seem to be lying, but she couldn''t dispel her doubts just yet.


    "How can I trust you?" she challenged.


    Ethan''s eyes immediately darkened at that, and he leaned close until their breaths mingled. "I can


    prove it to you," he whispered.


    The burning lust in his eyes made J swallow.


    Without warning, Ethan picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.


    The next thing J knew, her back was on the mattress, and his hot, hard body was pressing on


    top of her.


    Ethan grabbed her thighs and wrapped her legs around his waist before trapping her wrists above


    her head. He held them in ce with one hand, while the other traveled down to her chest,


    squeezing her soft flesh as he sucked on her lower lip.


    "I can prove to you right here, right now, that I''m only interested in women," he said, his voice


    dangerously low. "I can prove it to you any time you want. I''m just not sure that you can handle it."
