The Divorce Prescription

Hailey was about to scream again, but Declan quickly covered her mouth with his hand, silencing her.

"Quiet. My mom and sister will hear. Do you really want them to walk in and see this?" he asked.

Hailey blinked, her wide, startled eyes meeting his. After a brief pause, she gently pulled his hand away. "I won't scream. Just let me down."

Declan released his grip, and Hailey eased herself off him.

However, as she moved, her hand brushed against his crotch. It wasn't the first time she'd felt it, and her curiosity got the better of her. She reached out again and asked, "What is this?"

"Hailey, don't touch that!" Declan exclaimed, trying to stop her, but it was already too late-her hand was on him.

Declan's chiseled body went rigid, a flush of desire spreading across his face.

Hailey quickly realized what had just happened. She took a few steps back, her wide eyes fixed on him. "Y-You... you..."

The innocence in her expression made Declan hesitate, and without another word, he turned and walked away.

Hailey stood frozen. What had she just done?

She instinctively raised her hand to cover her flushed face, feeling as though she couldn't face anyone at that moment.
