“I’m going to need a drink.”

Willow’s smile faded just a little. “Um, won’t that... I don’t know, lessen your control?”

Ethan shook his head. “No, I’m not going to get shit-faced, I just need a shot.”

Instead of going to a bar, Ethan stopped and bought a bottle of whiskey.

Willow hadn’t actually thought he would agree to it—had never expected to suggest it!—so as she sat silently in the passenger seat, watching out the window as he pulled onto the road, her mind raced.

Could she change her mind already? It wouldn’t prove much of anything, but she suddenly felt insecure. Ethan was a grown man, and she had never tried to seduce anyone before. What if she just looked stupid? What if it was incredibly awkward? What if it brought back memories that she didn’t want to surface? What if—worst case scenario—he was wrong and he did lose control of himself? Reliving her horror in nightmares was bad enough, but reliving it physically and all because of her own stupid idea? Well, that would destroy her.

He probably thought she was so dumb.

He was probably just agreeing out of guilt.

Then he pulled into a hotel parking lot.

“Um...what are we doing here?” she inquired, shifting uncomfortably.

“If we’re going to do this, we might as well do it right,” he reasoned.

“We’re not going to have sex though,” she reminded him, alarmed.

“I know. This will be more comfortable. Plus, whatever it is you’re planning, I really don’t want to get caught in the backseat of my car with an open container and an 18-year-old girl. This will give us some privacy.”

That was a good point. She hadn’t even thought of getting caught.

“It’s just pretend though,” she insisted, more for herself than for him. “Just...a test.”

“Of course.” He glanced over at her. “If you’re nervous, we don’t have to do this.”

It was the out she had just been considering, but suddenly having him offer it changed her mind. Shaking her head, she said, “No. I may never get a chance like this again and... I would be pretty horrified if during my next actual sexual encounter I have a panic attack or something. I want to do a test run. This was my idea.”

Ethan nodded. “If you change your mind at any point, just say so.”

Since Ethan obviously didn’t want to be seen checking into a hotel room with her, he told her to stay in the car while he went inside and got a room.

While she understood the need for discretion, it also made her incredibly nervous to sit in the car by herself. She kept fidgeting with her hands and looking out the window. The parking lot was well-lit, but she still kept imagining some goons showing up outside the door and ripping it open, yanking her out of the car kicking and screaming, taking her away to her own personal hell—again.

One would think that having a father with an illegal criminal organization at his disposal might allow for some kind of security, but apparently that was not the case.
