Scarlett Glenn couldn't deny that Ethan Herd was handsome, very handsome. Among the men she knew, probably no one could compare with him, and she didn't reject his kisses.
Even when Ethan kissed her, Scarlett could feel her body trembling slightly.
However, this was just the mutual attraction between adult men and women due to hormones. Scarlett's reasoning was stronger than anyone else's.
Letting Ethan possess her like this would mean he probably wouldn't cherish her in the future. Scarlett never thought she could always leave unscathed in their interactions, but at least not in such a casual and hasty way.
Scarlett had her own plans. Even if she had to give in, she wanted to be the one in control.
Even if she had to give in, she wanted Ethan to remember her forever. She wanted to be the only woman he ever thought of, not something done carelessly.
