Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 57: Sexual Tension

"Come in, Ewan... I don’t think I have the strength to carry Gianna myself..." Athena spoke as Ewan hesitated at her doorstep after she opened the door.

Aiden had assured her through a text some hours ago that her children were fast asleep, so she believed she was in the clear to bring her ex husband, now business partner, into her home.

When Ewan finally stepped into the room, he walked straight to the sofa to drop Gianna but Athena stopped him.

"Please, her room is this way..." She led the way to Gianna’s room, knowing that she couldn’t pull it off as she was dead on her feet.

She also knew that Gianna would be more than cranky in the morning if she woke up tomorrow and found herself on the sofa.

Athena pictured the scenario, and shuddered. She wasn’t ready for it.

Hence the risk she was taking, bringing Ewan past the living room space.

"Thank you very much, Ewan." She spoke after they left Gianna’s room, and headed to the exit door.

Ewan paused, and turned to Athena. "You’re welcome, Athena."

There it was again. Athena thought, as she managed to stay clear-headed in front of this gentle Ewan.

Why did he go about pronouncing her name like a Greek god beckoning his goddess wife?

What was that lingering gaze, that tilt to his voice, that honey caress? What was he aiming to achieve with it? Seduce her?

As if!

Yet, when Ewan stepped closer to her, she didn’t move an inch, instead she stood and watched him.

She blamed it on curiosity.

She wanted to know what Ewan was gunning for; she wanted to know his intentions if left alone.

So, ignoring the sudden flaring of the nerve endings in her belly and skin at his approach, she remained rooted at the spot, her gaze fixed on his.
