I shook my head. “No, it’ll be too much.”
“I will be happy if you want to accompany me for dinner another time.”
At first, I said nothing. But then, I said, “My boyfriend called me when I was in the ladies’ room. He said he would come here. So, I’ll go home with him.”
Constantine’s expression was unreadable. He took his glass and sipped it. “I see. Are you sure that I can leave you here?”
“Yes. my boyfriend didn’t say anything when I said I had gone with a new acquaintance. But then, he said he would send me home.”
“Another time, maybe. Please send my regards to your mother then.”
“Sure!”
Constantine raised his hand and signaled the server to bring the bill. After paying, he stared at me. “Are you sure you don’t want to go home with me?”
“Yes, I’ll go home with my boyfriend. Thank you so much for dinner. It’s delicious! I enjoyed it.”
Then Constantine left. After he left, Ethan came with the host to my table. I was drinking the water and didn’t want to touch the champagne anymore.
When I saw Ethan, I smiled from ear to ear. “You came!”
“Of course, my darling!” Ethan offered his hand to me. “Let’s go home.” Later, he offered his hand to the host. “Thank you for your help.” Ethan gave the host fifty Moon dollars, and the host pocketed it gladly.
“My utmost pleasure, sir.”
I couldn’t stand straight since my head was spinning hard. So, Ethan lifted me into his embrace. We became a spectacle to other guests. Maybe they thought it was so romantic that a man brought his drunk girlfriend home.
We were outside when Ethan asked, “Are you okay?”
“My head is spinning while I didn’t touch the champagne again. I only drank water, but strangely, I feel so dizzy.”
“What else do you feel?”
That was when I started feeling hot. “I-I … Oh, it’s so hot here! Maybe I need to take a shower.”
“I’ll bring you to my villa first. Then, later, I’ll bring you home. But you should call Freya first so that she won’t be worried.”
“Sure!”
I opened my purse, got my phone, then called my mother. “Mom, I’m with Ethan now. So, I’ll come home late.”
“Oh, didn’t you go with Constantine?”
“Yes, but then Ethan called me to let me know that he went home and gave me a surprise by coming to the restaurant.”
“Okay then. Remember, safe sex, sweetheart.”
I blushed but then smiled. “Yes, mom.” When I ended the call, I saw Ethan grin at me. He might hear what my mother said.
“Okay, let’s go.”
He walked a few steps to a giant tree near the restaurant, and then in a blink of an eye, we arrived already at the villa. He opened the door, and it was dark. Ethan immediately turned on the light and brought me to his room.
“Ethan! What’s wrong with me?”
“What do you feel?”
“It’s so hot here. Please, turn on the air conditioning. I feel like I’m burnt!” Then I opened my clothes and lay down only on my underwear. I was moaning and screaming.
Ethan finally brought me to the bathroom. He undressed my underwear first and placed them in a safe place. Then he stripped and turned on the shower to the cold water.
I froze because of the cold water. But when I saw Ethan was naked, I crashed into him and kissed his lips. Ethan laughed as it was the first time he saw me so aggressive with him. After ten minutes of having a cold shower, I still felt hot. Later, Ethan dried my body and carried me to the bed.
I pushed Ethan to the bed and said, “I’m ready. Let’s do this.”
“What do you mean?”
“We haven’t made love before. I know now. But I’m ready now. So, let’s do this.”
I kissed Ethan’s neck, chest, and stomach. Then, I straddled him, touched his rod, and tried to insert it into my womanhood, but he stopped me. Instead, he grabbed my waist tightly and turned my body so my back lay on the bed instead.
“No, my mate. We can’t do this. But I’ll help you.”
“What happened to me? I feel weird.”
“You’re drugged.”
“What?”
Ethan shook his head. “Don’t worry. I’ll help you. Since your mother knows that we’ll spend the time together, she won’t be upset if you go home late. I think it’ll take hours until the drug wears off.”
He worked fast to relieve my drugged condition. He pleasured me repeatedly but still ensured he would not mate me. After two or three hours, the drug’s influence finally didn’t last any longer. I was asleep.

~ Ethan ~
I covered Helena’s body with a blanket and then went to the bathroom. After a cold shower, I thought about Freya. So, I took Helena’s purse and found her phone. I called Freya immediately.
“Sweetheart?”
“Freya, it’s me, Ethan. Unfortunately, Helena is asleep right now. But don’t worry, she is okay. Who was she going with for dinner?”
“It’s her new acquaintance. Let me think of my name Con … Constantine?”
“Don’t tell me he’s Constantine Night.”
“How do you know? Yes, it’s his name, Constantine Night.”
I put my hand on my temple. “I don’t want to make you worry, but I think you deserve to know.”
“What happened?”
“Constantine drugged Helena.”
“What? Oh, no!”
“It seems it’s a stimulant type. I have helped Helena. But if Constantine comes to your house again, please stay away as far as you can. He’s a dangerous man.”
“Yes. How can I let Helena go with him? If it were not for you, Helena would be harmed.”
I hesitated but then said, “Freya, Helena in my world is my wife. So, I’ll do anything in my power to protect her. Don’t worry.”
