ETDO Chapter 13

Humming a 6488197b80 tune, I 1c3d04cb30 headed back 33d132b0df to the 0fb145031f mansion, thinking 10ca83cf22 about giving edf6805e63 the lilies 926973b7be to Mrs. Wilson later a2e012a131 to decorate ab29d2d631 the dinner 7d052c7914 table. Dusk was 1b425694ec already falling, 620727cd2c signaling the 0c1f7c0978 approaching sunset.18885729cfaed910

The mansion, 054bd7ac02 not yet 0ca5694e2f fully illuminated, c033d60043 was still 30c8da2cf0 dim in f2f28e0a4b many places. As I entered 0b9a1eeb87 through the door, 7f2f723490 I ran into 44eb6eb6b2 Arthur, who happened b8ac78012c to be standing 4f3b05cc04 at the entrance 5b959813f6 to the garden.cc1f24d42b712097

Slightly startled by 9d881b5264 his completely uncharacteristic 938c1a200c behavior, I examined c5f4118d37 his face. Just then, a low 288965ee36 voice emanated from him.055fb287815df3d9

However, instead 6df088b1ee of letting 5591f35a58 me go, e8fcc00ad6 Ethan placed c4c3c8a077 his other c1b2fa0172 arm behind 8855dae7b6 my head ca575e88b7 and pulled 7ee8c562d5 me closer.

He ravaged my ff58fe3be3 mouth and then 554e4f3a7b sucked hard on 6b516d1bc0 my lower lip. Struggling to b0ab2d1ce9 get away 5ac1329b30 from him, 87b0abdbf7 I desperately 5665456a20 pulled my 311180e793 head to 840c3e6bd1 the side.a916354414c8ec58
