Horace was working late in his study. Now that he had decided to give his life for Brittany, there was a mountain of work demanding his attention.
Soon, a sudden heat flushed through his body. He reached up and tagged at the buttons of his shirt, yet the warmth wouldn’t subside.
He stood and retreated to his bedroom, where he took a cold shower.
Instead of cooling him down, the cold water only seemed to fan the fire burning inside him. The heat grew stronger and more relentless.
Dressed in black silk pajamas, Horace sat on the edge of his bed and reached for his phone, intending to call his assistant.
Just then, the edge of the blanket on the bed shifted, and Ida slipped out from under the covers. She was fresh from her bath, her cheeks flushed pink. Her eyes glimmered with tender longing as she looked at Horace.
“Horace…” she called out softly.
Suddenly, a surge of heat coursed through Horace. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he demanded in a low, rough voice, “What are you doing here?”
Ida smiled gently. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
Horace frowned. “Stop this nonsense! Get off my bed right now!”
He tried to rise and leave.
But Ida was quicker. She lunged forward, wrapping her arms tightly around him from behind. Her curvy body pressed against
his, warm and inviting.
“Hey, don’t go. Do you really want me to leave?” she whispered, her breath warm against his ear, laced with seduction.
Horace’s eyes darkened, flickering with a fiery red glow. He had been alone all these years, but he was still a healthy, normal man. The medicine coursing through his veins raged against him, steadily breaking down the last walls of his reason.
Ida knew the effect of the powder well. She sensed Horace’s resistance and let her hands roam teasingly over his strong muscles through the thin silk of his pajamas.
Leaning close to his ear, she breathed softly, her voice dripping with temptation.
“You must be burning up right now. I know you’re struggling to hold back, but you don’t have to fight so hard. I’m here. I’ve always been here.”
Horace reached out and pushed her away, shoving her down onto the bed. “Do you know what you’re doing? We can’t do this!”
He tried to leave again.
But Ida caught him by the neck just in time. “Why not? I love you- you know that, don’t you? Aren’t you feeling it too? I want to give myself to you. I want to be your woman!”
Horace fought desperately to suppress his desire. Sweat beaded at his forehead as veins throbbed across his tense body.
Ida’s face beneath him slowly shifted, morphing into Brittany’s stunning one.
His throat bobbed as he croaked hoarsely, “Brittany…”

He was calling out Brittany’s name.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Jessica sat comfortably on the living room sofa, sipping coffee at her leisure.
She knew Horace and Ida were locked away in that room, about to do the deed. All she had to do was wait quietly. Once Horace and Ida crossed that line, she would have won.
Suddenly, the maid’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “Mrs. Larson you’re back?”
Mrs. Larson?
Jessica paused mid–sip and looked up.
Brittany had arrived.
But Brittany wasn’t alone; Wendy was with her.
The two had come together.
