Tempted To Touch [Part 1]

“Do you really feel better now?” Chloe asked Ethan, who invited her to a stroll right after they finished eating breakfast.

“I’m not that fragile, you know?” Ethan replied with a smile. “My injuries are mostly healed already, thanks to you and Lilith tending to them.”

“But, it would be much better if you just rested, you know?”

“Mmm. I’ll rest later. But the two of us need to talk first before I leave for Midgard.”

Ethan and Chloe held hands as they walked. After they had gone a good distance away from his home, Ethan planted his right hand on the bark of a tree and activated his portable secret tree house.

The Catkins were always guarding him from the shadows, but he wanted to talk with Chloe in private, so he needed to go to a place they couldn’t reach.

Following them from a good distance away was Lilith, whom Ethan asked to stand guard and make sure that his talk with Chloe wouldn’t be disturbed.
