Halsey looked at Dwight, her eyes filled with concern.
“No, something’s not right with you.”
She placed her hand on his chest. “You’re burning up! You feel like a furnace.”

Dwight’s eyes glowed with a faint red flame, but he was trying to keep himself under control. He shouldn’t have come to see Halsey tonight, but he couldn’t stop himself.,
“I got drugged,” he muttered hoarsely.
“What?” Halsey’s voice shook, her eyes widening in surprise. “Again?”
She used the word “again” because this wasn’t the first time Dwight had fallen victim to something like this.
“Who drugged you? Was it Rachel’s father?” Halsey asked, guessing.
Dwight gave a quiet grunt of confirmation.
“What’s he trying to do to you? Does he want you to sleep with Rachel?” Halsey’s voice was a mix of worry and disbelief.
Dwight didn’t respond, just looked at her silently.
Halsey shook her head and let out a soft laugh, though there was a hint of irritation in her gaze. “Look at you! You’ve got too many admirers–rich women and young ladies who can’t get enough of you. They’ll stop at nothing to have you, even going so far as to drug you.”
Without warning, Dwight leaned in and kissed Halsey, cutting off her words.
Halsey’s heart fluttered. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, returning his kiss.
Now that Dwight was with the one he truly loved, his blood was racing. Every part of him was on fire, his body aching with
desire.
Halsey had just showered, and the scent of her skin was intoxicating. Dwight buried his hot face in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply.
Halsey’s eyes shimmered with warmth. “What are we going to do now?”
Dwight cleared his throat. “I need to take a cold shower.”
“Okay. Come to my room.”
Halsey led Dwight upstairs to her bedroom.
It was a princess–style room, all soft pinks and delicate details, with the sweet scent of youth in the air.
“My bathroom is over here. Go ahead and shower,” she said, gesturing to the bathroom.
“Alright,” Dwight replied and went inside.
The sound of water rushing filled the air. Halsey stepped out for a moment to grab him a clean shirt, trousers, and a towel.
She returned to the door and knocked lightly. “I brought you some clothes and a towel. Can you open
There was no answer.
Halsey knocked again, this time more insistently. “Are you there? Dwight!”
Still, there was no response.

A wave of unease washed over her. He had been so hot earlier–clearly, the drug had taken effect. She worried that something

might have happened to him while he was in the shower.
“Dwight, what’s going on? Open the door!” she called, gripping the doorknob.

Just as she reached for it, the door suddenly swung open. Halsey, caught off guard, stumbled forward. She fell right into Dwight’s arms.
Startled, she looked up at him. “Are you okay?”
Dwight’s body was damp, the cold water dripping from his sharp features, tracing down his face in a way that was oddly captivating.
He shook his head. “I’m fine.”
Halsey let out a relieved sigh. “If you’re okay, why didn’t you say anything earlier? I thought something had happened to you. You really scared me!”
She placed a hand over her chest, trying to steady her racing heart.
But then, Dwight suddenly pushed her back against the wall.
Halsey froze, realizing something was off. Dwight had just gotten out of the shower, and she found herself staring at him, completely exposed.
“Ah!” she yelped in surprise, immediately covering her face with both hands.
Dwight chuckled, his eyes full of amusement. “Now you’re shy? I thought you weren’t the type to be embarrassed.”
