James’s face went pale as a sheet as his eyes fell on the exposed skin right in front of him.

He panicked, quickly pulled his hand back, snatched up a nearby throw blanket and wrapped it around her, completely flustered.

Lily knew James had never wanted to touch her.

The only reason he’d lost control just now must’ve been because the drug’s effects had flared up again. What he really wanted was a man.

She’d just happened to show up in front of him. That was the only reason he’d lost his mind and went too for with her.

He was principled, upright, and decent. There was no way he was some beast.

Lily didn’t want him to degrade himself like that. She pulled the blanket tighter around her shoulders and said softly, “I don’t blame you. I know you didn’t mean to. It’s Wesley’s fault–he went too far with whatever he gave you. It must’ve left aftereffects that hit you at random. You only lost control because of that. James, have you seen a doctor?

But he couldn’t bring himself to say that out loud. So he just stood there in silence, weighed down by the pain and guilt
