PAMPERED

385 on his knees, begging.

Normally, Penny would’ve known she should be using one of the spare bathrooms, as she was simply a guest in the house. But because of the rush she felt, she ended up going straight to the master bedroom, which was also Zoren’s room.

Penny only realized this when she closed the bathroom door behind her. As she lifted her eyes to the unnecessarily huge bathroom, her mouth fell open. A slap of poverty struck her right in

the face.

It wasn’t just a bathroom with a bathtub, a shower, a sink, and the necessities usually found in a bathroom. There were extra things like a television, a couch on the side, a small chiller for wine, and more.

“Wow,” she whispered. “I could live here.” *

All it needed was a small kitchen, and it would be perfect. Penny shook her head, wondering what Zoren was thinking or doing in the bathroom to need all of this. 4

Did he have two bathrooms? She was sure this wasn’t the same bathroom she used the last time

she was here.

“Ah, no.” She shook her head and slapped her cheeks. “I need to start my day.” Even though her morning felt like a rollercoaster, she had a company to run.

With that thought in mind, Penny locked the door and decided to just use this bathroom. She had already kissed Zoren; the least he could do was lend her his bathroom. But just as she locked the door, Penny heard the bedroom door outside creak open.

The main door to the bedroom wasn’t supposed to creak, nor should its sound have reached her ears. But alas, it did, and she froze.

‘Did he follow me here? she wondered, wide–eyed. What? Don’t tell me he came to finish what we started?”

Her face quickly turned red just when she was recovering. Thinking about what had been happening before Benjamin arrived, Penny bit her lip. Again, her heart thudded loudly until it echoed in her ears. She couldn’t help but glance at the bathroom behind her, knowing there was plenty of space where they could do it.

“Penny?” he called, his voice cool before a faint knock followed. “I came to complete the dare.”

Penny pursed her lips and held her breath. Her grip on the knob tightened a bit while her whole body seemed to burn up for no reason.

‘God…” Her lips parted, eyes on the door. ‘He really is a man of determination and dedication.”

He wouldn’t leave her alone, would he?

Not that she wanted him to leave her alone. Surprisingly, despite Penny’s usual irritation when Slater or anyone else pestered her, she felt rather excited by this.

Her eyelids drooped a little as the corner of her lips curled up, feeling a little mischievous now.

Meanwhile, Zoren stretched his arms and rested his palms on the doorjamb. “Open the door?” His voice was polite, but the dark look on his face was not. He looked like a wolf pretending to be a kind neighbor, only to attack once the person inside opened it.

“I need to shower.” Though her voice was faint, he knew she was just standing right on the other side of the door. “I have work today!”

His mouth fell open, smiling a bit as he ran his tongue across his inner cheek. “Teasing me now?” “I’m not!” she answered quickly, a hint of a giggle in her voice. “I just really need to shower.” “Don’t worry,” he reassured her. “You can shower while I do what I must. I’ll help you.”

Penny, who was leaning her back against the door while checking her nails, paused for a second. Her mischievous grin cracked.

‘Does he have a say in everything?” she wondered and glanced at the door behind her. ‘Goodness.

She shook her head and pulled her back from the door. Before she could say anything, she caught sight of the other door connected to this bathroom. The corner of her lips curled up as a devious idea flashed across her mind. Tiptoeing her way to the connecting door, Penny locked it before going back to the main entrance.

“Renren, I did dare you, but it’s not a dare if it’s too easy,” she giggled, standing in front of the door. “So, I’m not opening this door.”

Zoren, on the other side of the door, raised a brow. “Is that so?”

“You can’t get through this door!”

“Just this door?”

“Yep! If you can get in here–without using the keys–then do whatever you want.”

“I see,” Zoren smirked proudly as he pushed himself away from the door. He then casually walked away from it, heading to the walk–in closet connected to the bathroom. His smirk widened as he reached for the knob, knowing he could get into the bathroom.

All she said was that he couldn’t get through that other door. Much to his dismay, when Zoren twisted the knob, it was locked. His smile faded, only to hear her mischievous laughter from the other side.

“Penny,” he called, almost laughing at himself for letting himself get outsmarted. He should have known she wouldn’t hint at him if she didn’t have her plans. “You won this time, fine.

He took a step back, raising his hand in surrender, “Go and take a shower.”

“Zoren Pierson, I know you’re planning to wait until I open this,” she said, making him grin. “I’m not opening It. Not even for a second.”

“Why not?” he asked out of pure curiosity. “We were almost there!

“Almost,” she intoned. “Almost.”

Zoren drew his head back a little, eyes on the shut door. Although this hurt his groin a little and it burned his patience faster than anything ever did, there was this strange thrill her teasing brought with it. Rather than annoyed, it excited him even more.

“Okay,” he said, nodding in understanding. “You won.”

A subtle smile appeared on his face as he turned around and walked over to the closet to change his creased shirt. As Zoren reached out for a new dress shirt, he heard the connecting door click. Stopping, he turned his head, only to catch something sliding out from the door before it was shut closed again.

Curious, Zoren marched over and picked it up. It was her bra.

“Haha,” he chuckled and snapped his dangerous eyes to the door. “She’s going to make me fall to my knees, begging.”

His smile broadened as he clasped the bra, then turned and walked away. He carefully raised the piece of fabric to the side of his face and then to his nose. He smirked.
