THE PILOT'S EX WIFE 137
Ethan tucked a strand of her red hair behind Blair's ear, just to reveal more of her face. Her blue eyes shone like a starry sky, with feelings that a look could not hide. At that moment, the man was sure that she saw his soul. He lowered his eyes to her lips. It was better to be attracted than shot, even though both messed with his structure.The man gave Blair a subtle kiss, but didn't deepen it. He couldn't resist her taste, but he didn't want to make a scene in his parents' house. The redhead, in turn, wrapped the black strands of Ethan's hair around her fingers and pulled him towards her. He didn't resist. He couldn't resist. He didn't want to resist.The desire that hit them was stratospheric. Ethan returned the kiss in the same proportion. His hands grabbed the woman's silhouette, and all they could feel was excitement, like a kind of preservative that would not let them go. Every inch of her skin was inviting to the touch of his hands, and his mouth drew Blair's lips as if it

- "You don't have to talk, Angel." Ethan realized how painful that confession was. The price to open up his life was too high, and he wouldn't judge Blair if she wasn't willing to pay it, because he wasn't.- "I ran away to New York. I didn't have the money to support myself, and maybe that explains the apartment in Brooklyn. When Drake lost his job, my ex-boyfriend cheated on me with a college friend and I didn't see any other option, so I agreed to go to Las Vegas" Blair decided to continue.She couldn’t look Ethan in the eye as she spoke. Partly because there was so much of the story she chose to keep hidden. There were parts of her life she would take to her grave.- "Fuck, I couldn't imagine. I'm sorry" the man didn't know what to do other than to regret.Ethan took advantage of the proximity to hug Blair. She couldn't resist, and made his arms her refuge. What the woman didn't realize was that she was doing more good for him than for herself. That conversation was all that was n

And noticing Dora's choked voice, Blair gave up on listening to the other people's conversation. It wasn't just an investigation, it was the personal lives of these people.The redhead returned to her room, her mind feeling heavy with too much information. For the first time, Michele was beginning to gain credibility in her mind.- "I'm leaving. It's best for everyone," Ethan said, getting tired of the endless argument with his father. They would never find a middle ground.- "Son, please wait until dawn," Dora asked, clasping her hands together in a sign of supplication.Ethan left his father's office feeling a weight of tons on his shoulders, ignoring his mother's request. He was walking down the hallway, back to the room where he had left Blair, but he could hear the matriarch's last words:- "I hate to see what we did to him"If the man said he felt remorse, it would be an understatement. What he felt was more bitter. Ethan didn't look back, he never looked back. The man walked to

- "I hate to be ungentlemanly, Angel, but I'm going to have to force you into the pool."- "Wouldn't that be a crime?" she argued, smiling widely.Ethan smiled with false innocence, only to lean over and grab Blair's legs, throwing her onto his shoulders without much effort. She squealed and smiled at the same time.- "Don't worry. I can let you arrest me later," he said, seconds before throwing himself into the pool.They submerged themselves in the cold water, and Blair quickly tried to pull away from the man when he released her. She quickly returned to the surface, and waited until Ethan also returned to splash water on her face.- "My God! You're ridiculous"The man smiled like he hadn't smiled in a long time. In his eyes, Blair looked beautiful. Her hair was wet, her eyes were brighter, and her robe was floating, revealing a considerable amount of her legs. She looked irritated, and she was, but she couldn't stop smiling back.- "Now I have nothing to wear" the redhead complaine

He brought his fingers to her face, wanting to feel the texture of her skin one last time. He didn't expect to go back, but when he missed her delicate face, he would still feel it in his hands.Blair pulled away from his touch. The redhead didn't want any more reasons to break down. She opened the car door, as certain that this would be the last time she would have contact with that man as she was of the air she was breathing.The truth was, the woman didn't know to what extent she was just acting. She didn't know if she was still pretending, being an undercover, or if she was really feeling the pain of a breakup. In the end, maybe a little of both.- "Imagining a relationship with you was a waste of time. Don't ever look for me again, Ethan," Blair said before leaving in a hurry.She walked away from the car after closing the door, not bothering to give Ethan a chance to say something. And by the time the woman reached the entrance of the building, her face was already wet. She was

- "Blair, I'm sorry. I lost a sister, and I'm not willing to lose another. It hurts too much, and I can't allow myself to lose someone I love again!"- "I couldn't bear to lose someone I love either, Drake. That's exactly why I didn't want to lose him." Blair said her words with such conviction that it made Drake startle.He looked at his friend strangely, hearing that statement for the first time since he met her. Drake approached with slow steps, still surprised by the sentence that echoed in his brain.- "You said that... my God, you said that you love him?" He frowned.She couldn't say anything about love, because she didn't know the feeling. Romantic love was just an idealization of something Blair knew very little about. However, with Ethan, she felt something similar to what she saw in movies or read in books. She wanted to protect him, and she would.- "What is incomplete in me only Ethan can fit" Blair was sincere in her answer, more than she ever thought possible.*Banks po

- "Go to her apartment. Make me feel what Michele felt," Ethan continued, and then walked another step.The proximity between the men reached its limit. Their faces were almost touching. Volkov showed no reaction, at least not outwardly. He knew he had crossed a dangerous line.- "But then, my dear, hide yourself in the remotest hole in the earth. And yet know that I will find you, and what happened to Benedict will be a blessing compared to what will happen to you."- "A man in love is a weak man," Volkov commented, taking a subtle step back.- "A fearful man is a weak man"Ethan stepped forward again, approaching Volkov again and staring at him with the only feeling that could make him lose his impassiveness. And then, when he could feel the fear snake through his amber eyes, Banks continued:- "Do I look scared?"The other man didn't answer. He just walked back to the couch where he was sitting. Creating a rivalry bigger than the one that already existed would be foolish. Volkov co

- "I didn't hire you because of your father, Blair. I hired you because I saw the way Ethan looked at you. I knew at that dinner that you would be able to help me," the boss confided.Blair knew that the chances of her having a relationship with Ethan were slim to none, and that he would never risk his family. But she also knew that her efforts to help Michele would not get her very far, because as soon as she saw him she would give up on any scheme. And even under the saddened gaze of her boss, Blair knew that her heart would not let her unmask the Banks family.- "If you are able to prevent someone else from suffering as I suffered, please do so."- "I can't, Michele. I'm sorry." Blair's speech was choked.She hated herself for not being able to empathize with Michele's pain. But she would hate herself even more if she betrayed Ethan again. Because working with Spencer was betrayal enough, and he might not even forgive her for it.- "Blair, I'm not asking you to..." the older woman
