“Good morning.”

I jumped, clasping my hand over my heart and taking in a sharp breath as I slipped out of Edrick’s room, only to be immediately met with a familiar voice.

Ethan’s smiling face stared back at me. From one look at him, I knew that he knew that something was going on.

“Uh– I-It’s not how it looks like,” I stammered, looking around frantically with my back against the bedroom door in the hopes that no one else was watching.

Ethan merely chuckled. “Are you really an au pair?” he asked. I could sense a hint of humor behind his voice and it helped me relax just a tiny bit, but I still feared that I had ruined Ethan’s impression of me. I liked him as a person and desperately did not want him to think that I was just after his brother for money or s*x.

“I am, I swear,” I replied, grabbing Ethan’s arm without thinking and pulling him away from the door in case Edrick was awake and listening. “I’m not a mistress, or anything like that.”

“Well, not that it’s any of my business, but it does sort of appear as though you might be,” he replied.

I shook my head vehemently. “No, really,” I said, lowering my voice so that no one else could hear. “Edrick and I have a sleeping arrangement.”

Ethan chuckled again. “A sleeping arrangement?”

“Not like that,” I insisted. “An actual sleeping arrangement. For some reason, my presence helps him sleep better than the pills and the alcohol, so he asked me to sign a contract to sleep with him until his insomnia improves.”

“Really?” Ethan asked, sounding a bit surprised. “Edrick has had sleeping problems since before Ella was born.”

What made it even worse was knowing that, should we be caught, it would ultimately somehow wind up being entirely my fault.
