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.
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?"
’Does he have a say in everything?’ she wondered and glanced at the door behind her. ’Goodness. This man.’
