Chapter: 1754

In the depths of night, Scarlette tossed and turned, sleep eluding her restless mind. The memory of Kenji's kiss haunted her thoughts, his teasing touch intertwined with the words of him having a sex dream of her after their intimacy that night. He had even shared every intimate detail of his dream vividly.

Scarlette's mind raced with the scenes she had conjured up based on Kenji's vivid description. Though their first intimate encounter had left her uncomfortable and painful, the memory now stirred something primal within her.

Fighting back tears of frustration, she snatched her phone and dialed Kenji's number with trembling fingers. But he didn't answer.

In a burst of anger, she pummeled her stuffed animal, projecting Kenji's smirking face onto its innocent features.

Dawn broke with the shrill ring of Scarlette's phone. The sound pierced through her foggy consciousness.
