At night, Fairburg was not as quiet as the daytime. Outside the car window, the flashing neon streets were bustling.

When they passed through a high building, she found a purple raincoat advertisement on an open-air screen at the top of an edifice.

Shannon was shocked. She stared at the screen blankly.

She once again thought of the boy who had saved her in the mudslide. That boy wore exactly a purple raincoat. It was he who had walked over to her staggeringly, rescued her from the disaster and gave her a second life...

If she ever had a chance to see him, she would not miss the chance to repay him.

“Here we are. Get off the car.” Ethan said to her in a subdued and low voice.

Shannon recalled her thoughts immediately and found that they had arrived at the largest amusement park in Fairburg.

Ethan dressed himself in an Arabic black robe, which successfully hid his true identity. When he got off the car, his robe drifted with the wind, which showed his nobility temperament.

Shannon followed him into the amusement park.

It was very quiet in the park. The security guards had already received the order to permit Ethan to enter the park.

Ethan usually went to his favorite entertainment places at nighttime, for being easily recognized during the daytime. He would contact his public relations team in advance to get in touch with the related staff so that he could get there at night.

Obviously, the staff in this large amusement park had already been notified in advance. But they did not know it was Ethan.

Shannon and Ethan were taken to the roller coaster area.

Although there were lights, it was still somewhat dim compared with the daytime. Shannon was extremely terrified when she looked at the roller coaster that twisted and turned steeply like a cliff. At the age of eight, she had experienced a mudslide. Since then, she had been afraid of heights. Once she was in a high place, she would be dizzy. In some severe cases, she would faint from nervousness.

At this moment, Shannon suddenly felt that Ethan was so stingy. She entered his bedroom because of the power failure, but he took lots of efforts to punish her to take the roller coaster!

Ethan talked with the staff not far away. Shannon walked over slowly and called him ‘Sir’ in a low voice.

Ethan stopped talking, and the staff began to wear the seat belt for Shannon.

Shannon was so scared that she hid behind Ethan. She reached out her hands and pulled his clothes, “Mr. Yates, could you please cancel your punishment? I’m scared.”

Covered by a black veil, he released a handsome smile, “If you are not afraid of it, how can we call it a punishment? At this point, the only thing you should do is to accept it.”

Seeing that the staff tied the seat belt for her, she subconsciously pulled Ethan’s arm, “Mr. Yates, I am really scared. I will faint for it. Could you please change the punishment?”

“How about this, sir? You can share the double seat with your girlfriend together. She looked really scared.” the staff advised him warmly and felt rather uneasy at him.

He then thought to himself, ‘this Arabic man was really masculinism. Didn’t he see her legs shaking for fearing this kind of punishment? He showed no signs of understanding how to cherish a woman.’

Shannon was about to explain that she was not his girlfriend, but Ethan nodded, “Please tie me a seat belt.”

Then the staff followed his requirement and tied him a seat belt.

With Ethan’s accompanying, Shannon was slightly relieved from her fear. However, Shannon still felt that she walked on the eggshells. She had no choice but to take the roller coaster.

Shannon held tight the steel railing in front of her and closed her eyes. The wind blew faster and faster in her ear.

Shannon’s limbs were numb. She endured her impulse of yelling and bit her lips tight.

Suddenly, they flew to a steep high point. Shannon couldn’t help screaming out and fell onto Ethan’s body. Subconsciously, Ethan held her waist.

She stretched out her hands and held Ethan tight like he was a life-saving straw for her. At that moment in her consciousness, what she held was not Ethan, but a large pillar that could keep her safe.

“Ah!”

Before she became completely calm, the roller coaster began to reverse intensely. She was scared to death, desperately clutching Ethan’s neck tightly.

Ethan sat calmly and seemed not flustered at all. He soothed her like comforting a child.

Every time they reached a highest point and a reverse place, Shannon took Ethan as a protective appliance on which she relied to overcome her fear.

Finally, the punishment began to approach the end.

Shannon became calm little by little as the roller coaster slowed down. When she came to her senses, she found that someone was holding her waist. She tried to force apart that arm, but, found herself tightly held the arm’s owner.

How come she held his neck so tight!?...

Moreover, they were very close to each other, almost check to check.

Shannon’s mind went blank. She was very flustered inside.

The soft orange light shone on Ethan, which coated him with a layer of soft radiance. His eyes were full of deep affections.

His arm around her waist, Ethan held the back of her head with his big palm. Then he approached her. His eyes seemed like filling with not only all the stars in the universe, but also a panic Shannon.

They could clearly feel the silky touch from each other through the veil.

He was kissing her, while Shannon had no alternative but to be passively face upward and followed his kissing awkwardly.

She was almost suffocated with the “scorching” atmosphere and drowned by the cool mint scent.

She felt she was controlled by a powerful magic...

Shannon tried to stop him, but she failed. He lifted her chin to make it easier for him to kiss her. At that time, she felt like the current hit all over her body, which made her stay still. She looked at the twinkling stars in the sky with her big eyes open.

She was dizzy and her heart beat faster and faster. She almost fell in a faint.

“Hello? The roller coaster has already stopped. Sir, it was stopped.” The staff looked at the two kissing deeply. He was sorry to disturb them but had to remind them.

After the kiss, Shannon blushed and did not dare to look at Ethan. She lowered her head and looked at somewhere else.

Ethan left the amusement park with Shannon. They walked side by side in the dark.

Shannon was extremely embarrassed. Her hands tangled, she flushed with shame all along.

“Shannon.”

Ethan took out the key of his car and walked toward the parking lot. Seeing that Shannon headed straightly forward, he called her.

Shannon paused her steps, and found that she actually went in the direction of the amusement park,

“Oh, I got the wrong way.”

“Do you want to take the roller coaster again? Of course, I don’t mind it.” Ethan suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him.

“No, no.” She was totally embarrassed. His words sounded like she still wanted to be kissed by him!

Ethan released an ineffable smile and pulled her into the car.

After they got on the car, he removed his black veil and fired up the engine slowly. Through the rearview mirror, he looked at Shannon who felt more restrained.

“Did you part with Mason?” Ethan suddenly asked.

Shannon nodded, then shook her head, “No.”

She wanted to say that she and Mason hadn’t even started, so how could there be an end? However, she felt an overwhelming sense of panic, to the point where she could barely organize her thoughts.

Ethan frowned, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes, “You’re the one wrapped around me, and I’m the one you kissed, yet you plan to marry Mason. Don’t you think you owe me any responsibility?”

“I was just scared. I didn’t mean it.” She had a fear of heights. Once she was in a high place, she would hold whatever she could get.

“The fact is, you were the one who hugged me first.”

“But I never intentionally touched your lips, Sir.”

“When I was sick, you took advantage of my unconsciousness and touched me without permission. Ken could testify to that.”

“...” Shannon was dumb and speechless.

Ethan’s lips were pretty and sexy. He said elegantly, “So, you need to be responsible for me.”

“Then what should I do?” Shannon regretted asking as soon as the words left her mouth, for Ethan’s eyes sparkled with a flicker of passionate intensity.

He gazed at Shannon as if he could see into the depths of her soul.

“Mr...” She held her breath, her heart racing.

It seemed that she began to realize something.

Suddenly, Ethan stopped the car, “Still not get it? You hugged me and touched me; it’s up to you to figure it out!”

Shannon lowered her head, a wave of inferiority washing over her, “I not worthy of you, sir.”

“A lock must have a matching key. Sometimes, a woman and a man are just like a lock and a key - nothing else matters.” he said in a low, hoarse voice, his gaze deep and deliberate.

Shannon felt her cheeks flush.

When she thought about his words carefully, it really felt a bit suggestive...

“No, sir, we are not right for each other.” His identity and status did not allow him to live an ordinary life, let alone have a connection with an ordinary woman. If they were together, she would be attacked and severely criticized by his fans.

Even if he were just an ordinary man, he already had a family. Morally and rationally, she couldn’t be the other woman.

“How about giving it a try? If we really aren’t meant to be, it won’t be too late for us to go our separate ways,” Ethan said softly.

“How?” Shannon never knew what Ethan would do next.

Ethan pressed his lips together, “Come here.”

Shannon stood there, stunned and unsure, her heartbeat quickening with every second.

Ethan frowned slightly, a bit helpless, before reaching out his long hand to pull her closer, a mix of tenderness and subtle dominance in the gesture.

Shannon found herself pressed against his chest, her hands involuntarily resting on him. She looked up, locking eyes with his deep gaze. The scent of his masculine cologne filled the air, intoxicating her senses.

Ethan lifted her chin gently, tilting it up as he leaned down, capturing her soft lips once more in a kiss.

The cool minty breath mixed with an intense heat—tender yet passionate, restrained yet wild.

Shannon felt like she was floating, like a rootless leaf in the wind, desperately trying to hold onto something.

So, she wrapped her arms tightly around his firm waist.

“See? We are so fit for each other.” Ethan reluctantly loosened her and touched her forehead.

Shannon was somewhat confused, “No...”

“Be honest.” He once again gave her a caressed kiss.

He was wild about kissing her lips. He didn’t know why. There was no reason for such thing. He was bound up in looking at her delicate face with shyness.

“Mr. Yates, you are married and you have two kids. I love you but let’s face the reality...” Shannon struggled.

“The reality is that we are made for each other. You have to face it.” Ethan pulled her into his arms and touched her confusing face, “I have tried it already. I am your ‘key’.”

His soft tone was a little overbearing.

This was his most dangerous self. Shannon found herself falling for him, step by step.

Who was he? The globally renowned “King of Music”. The Prince Charming in the hearts of countless girls. They would like to spend just one night with him at all costs.

What did she do to deserve his favor? How could it be her who heard those words from his mouth, saying they were so perfect with each other?

“I will give you time to think about it. When I come back from Modopolis, I need your answer.” There were lots of women who racked their brains trying to get close to him, eager to sleep with him, while she lacked the courage and felt overly cautious. If he were one of those playboys, he would have been tangled up with the groupies by now. But instead, he preferred to discipline himself. Besides, no other woman, noe even Dayle, had ever stirred such a physical reaction in him - only Shannon.
