THE PILOT'S EX WIFE 94
- "Yes, I shouldn't be long"- "Don't forget to use a condom, babe. We don't want thirty billion dollars running around the house... or do we?" Drake tilted his head to the side, still smiling at his friend's horrified face.- "No, Drake, we don't want to" with that, Blair grabbed her bag from the bed and left the room, before she could hear another joke from her friend.- "I love you. Kisses" he shouted.*Blair walked out of the elevator, the memories hitting her hard. It was as if she could picture Ethan's image on the walls, his silhouette as he walked closer, the way he looked at her.The starry night had already fallen over Vegas, and the only lights in the hallway emanated from the city, or from the lamps on the ceiling.She walked up to Banks's apartment door, debating whether or not to knock. Given the fact that he hadn't knocked on her door earlier that morning, she decided to do the same. Blair turned the knob, and was surprised to find the door open. She entered the apartm

As Blair walked out of the apartment and toward the elevator, Ethan followed her. There were things he needed to explain, and he had no reason to wait, no time. Blair pressed the button for the elevator just as the man reached her, but he didn't touch her.- "Deana will be in Las Vegas for a few days, and I lent her the apartment."Blair heard every word, every single one of them, but she didn't bother to respond. She stood with her back to Ethan, facing the metal doors. At that moment, nothing he said would change Blair's mind.- "We don't have any relationship right now. We're just friends," he continued.She was tempted to respond, but the answer wouldn’t be as graceful as her silence. Blair wanted to say how disappointed she was, how let down she was. She wanted to say that the way Ethan treated all of her relationships as indifferent friendships was discouraging.It wasn't out of jealousy, it wasn't because she wanted him exclusively, it wasn't because she was planning a relation
THE PILOT'S EX WIFE 96
Colton prepared to say something, but he preferred to wait for the waitress to place the order on the table and wish him a good day.- "The Benedict case is important to Spencer. He asked me to guide you because he doesn't want to miss this opportunity."The woman looked at the ex-marine carefully. A man who was made to be strong, good at everything he did, without mistakes or feelings. A man with light, well-cut hair. Colton was handsome, but something about his behavior overshadowed his appearance and only let the military shine through.- "Spencer didn't want to call you. He visited Ethan Banks, and this was a dangerous step. Now you can't be too careful," the agent explained.- "But you're here. Isn't that a risk?"- "Here, I'm just your police officer friend who invited you for coffee."Blair stirred the milk into the two espressos slowly, thinking about the mess this investigation was making of her mind. She didn’t look at Colton, but she knew he was watching her carefully as sh

Banks walked down slowly, using all the time in the world. He looked up and down the wide sidewalk before settling his eyes on Blair. It wasn't as if the man hadn't seen her before, but laying eyes on that woman was always an immense satisfaction. Blair looked like an angel, sweeping away all the evil of the night and leaving only the beauty of the moonlight.Finally, when Ethan stood by the car, Blair walked over. Deep down, she didn't want to appear any more upset than she actually was. She knew they had no agreements to follow, no commitments to keep.However, looking at Ethan's casual look, Blair forgot half of her irritation. The man looked good in suits and tuxedos, but he could also look attractive in dark jeans and a T-shirt.- "Let's talk, Angel"- "Not in front of where I work"- "Okay, then get in the car" the way Ethan spoke, always imposing his will as if it were an order, was interesting.- "Actually, I plan to go for a walk."- "Stop making things difficult"- "Not havi

Ethan got in next to Blair, a little surprised that she agreed to be in that car. He started it, and the first wake of the engine was as powerful as its owner's voice. The space was filled only with silence and tension, the tension that always haunted them.- "When we don't take certain precautions, the media jumps to conclusions. They don't care about the truth, or my explanation. The only thing that matters is the news. When they see me with Mariah, they say we're dating. When they see me with Deana, they say we're secretly engaged. When they see me with anyone else, they say we're lovers," Ethan began to explain.The man was looking at the traffic around the car, and Blair did the same as she listened to him. She knew that his words were true, and that they had some meaning. The redhead continued to look out the window at the horizon, waiting for Ethan to speak again.- "If they see me with you, they will investigate until they get something concrete. Your life will be hell, and yo

- "Tell me about your first year of school," Ethan said suddenly.- "What?"- "You're freaking out, Angel. You need to think about something other than the present."Blair took a long, deep breath before she began to speak. She didn't have much to say, and it took her a long time to think back to her first year of school before she could muster enough words. Her mind was too jumbled to go that far.- "I... I had a sparkly pink notebook. My mom bought it for me, and I loved it. When I got to school, my teacher said the notebook was beautiful" was the first coherent memory in her mind.- "Did you make any friends?"Ethan kept his full attention on the highway ahead of him, and on the three pairs of headlights right behind his car. The night was not cooperating, but he had no time to think about the difficulties. The only thing he could do was speed up and calm the woman beside him.- "I had a friend, but she was strange. She didn't like to talk."- "Why not?" Ethan asked as he looked ba

The car continued to speed down the highway, and the only light came from the headlights. However, the only important thing seemed to be their connection. Because even in the dim light, they could see each other's excitement.She squeezed him, increasing the speed while decreasing the intensity. Banks welcomed the pleasure, unable to do more than sigh as the redhead's hips met his. The more times she went down, the more her foot pressed on the accelerator, the faster the speedometer ran, and the further apart the three cars became.- "Always look at me," Banks said, noticing Blair's eyes closing. And that's what she did.He kept his eyes on the highway, but when he looked back at her, he found the blue of the sea and her parted lips.They were collecting sensations that for many would be sins. There was no hesitation, just two people, warm skin, dizzy minds and sounds of meeting. Ethan had to, necessarily, keep his focus on the road. But, sometimes, he closed his eyes tightly when he
THE PILOT'S EX WIFE 101
It wasn’t like she was about to give in, but Blair was curious, and she wanted to know what terms the women Ethan dated agreed to. She rolled over onto her stomach, propped her elbows on the mattress, and put her face in her hands as she waited for his answer.- "Basically, we don't have the right to expose what happens between us. There are some clauses that I have already broken with you, but as soon as you sign, if you sign, I prefer to start following them"- "Which ones, for example?"- "Sleeping together, having any type of relationship outside the apartment, among others"This was indeed a very heavy conversation to have at the first moment of the day. But Blair couldn't help but pay full attention to what she had heard. She concluded exactly what she had feared, and she couldn't hide her expression of disappointment.- "Do all your relationships happen in that apartment?" Despite knowing that the answer would be difficult to swallow, she wanted to know.Ethan remained silent f
