Chapter 44: A Olivorrprise for Them

A heavy silence hung over the private room for several minutes. Nobody expected things to escalate so quickly.

Leo Jones and Jake Parker snapped back to reality, helping Julian Jennings up and leading him to the restroom to clean up. Henry's pants were also splattered, and Jake Parker offered him a spare pair. "Don't worry

about me; I'll just change in the next

room," Henry said.

Jake Parker nodded, impressed that Henry was still so lucid after three bottles of Whisky."Your tolerance is amazing."

Henry shrugged."It's alright."

Once Jake Parker left, Henry leaned on Sonya's shoulder.

"I think I'm drunk."

Sonya leaned over and kissed him."Thank you."

"For what?"

"For protecting me."

"Don't thank me."

"Huh?"

"It's

my duty as a man."

Sonya blushed, gently pushing him."Go change, I'll take Lily home."

Lily Lane was asleep at the bar. Sonya woke her.

"Lily, time to go home."

Lily Lane yawned."Why were you gone so long?"

"I was a waitress for a bit."

"I'll drive you home; I called a ride-share."

Sonya shook her head. "It's a long detour. I... have a ride."

"You mean Leo Jones? Okay," Lily Lane didn't think much of it.

Sonya saw Lily Lane into her car before returning. As she approached the private room, the door opened, and Henry pulled her inside.

""Let's go

home."

He suddenly scooped her up, placed her on the table, and kissed her. His breath carried the scent of alcohol, but it wasn't unpleasant; it was intoxicating.

The place, the time, it was wrong, but she still wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to the kiss.

Passion ignited, unstoppable.
