Chapter 128\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a top\u2013tier public display of affection.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under normal circumstances, Silas would have fired back with a witty retort. But the one person he actually wanted to hear from remained silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He canceled his social engagements for the evening and went home early.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first thing that came out of his mouth when he walked through the door was, \u201cWhere\u2019s my wife?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane looked curious. \u201cSir, Mrs. Brennan hasn\u2019t come back yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas pressed his lips together. \u201cGot it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wondered if he had been too direct at the press conference and scared Bethany off again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shaking his head slightly, he went to his room. He grabbed a bath towel and then turned\u00a0<\/p>\n
toward the room next door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bethany returned home feeling guilty. She poked her head into the living room, and a quiet sigh of relief escaped her when she didn\u2019t see Silas on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane caught her looking and smiled. \u201cMa\u2019am, are you looking for Mr. Brennan? He went upstairs to rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was speechless. She wasn\u2019t looking for him at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She forced the corners of her lips up and braced herself. \u201cThanks, Jane. I got it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Silas was resting, he was probably in the study or his bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany skipped the elevator and tiptoed up the stairs to the second floor. Just as she twisted the handle on her bedroom door, she heard the sound of running water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Steam rose from behind the frosted glass door of her ensuite bathroom. Everything pointed to\u00a0<\/p>\n
the fact that someone was taking a shower in her bathroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany suspected she had walked into the wrong room. She backed out and checked again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was definitely her room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was clear who was in the bathroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sound of the water stopped right then. Bethany involuntarily took a step back and stared intently as billowing steam drifted out the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas stood in the center of the swirls of steam with only a bath towel wrapped loosely around\u00a0<\/p>\n
his waist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Water droplets rolled down from the tips of his black hair. They slid past the sharp lines of his neck and wound their way down his collarbone, firm chest muscles, and V\u2013line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, they disappeared at the edge of the towel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas didn\u2019t look the least bit guilty. He casually raised a hand to slick his wet hair back from his forehead, revealing his full face and eyes that were always so calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re back?\u201d His voice was huskier than usual. \u201cThe showerhead in my bathroom broke, so I used your bathroom. You don\u2019t mind, do you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany remained silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already used it. Would it make a difference if she said she minded?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany turned away to look at the cream\u2013colored wall, swallowing hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u2026 done?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas took a step forward and propped his hand against the doorframe. The movement caused the towel at his waist to loosen slightly. His defined V\u2013line played peek\u2013a\u2013boo in the shadows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s throat tightened. She took another step back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas noticed, and the corner of his mouth curved up ever so slightly. Yet the smile vanished in an instant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m done. Do you\u2026 need to shower?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was suggestive, making Bethany\u2019s cheeks burn instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt a flash of annoyance. \u201cSilas, please behave yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas chuckled softly. Every word seemed wrapped in the lingering steam.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am behaving myself. If I wasn\u2019t, I would have come out naked.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t wait for Bethany to answer. His long legs carried him past her and straight out of the\u00a0<\/p>\n
room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The heat coming through the slightly open bathroom door had yet to dissipate, just like the flush on her cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It made Bethany start to re\u2013evaluate this contract marriage of theirs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
