The intense stimulation sent Julian into a momentary daze. By the time he regained his senses, he realized he had been placed onto the kitchen counter by Ethan. Their kitchen counter was not particularly high, reaching just about Ethan's waist level. Ethan positioned Julian atop it, spreading his legs wide and resting them against the marble surface.
The chill from the stone surface made Julian shiver. He looked up hazily at the man standing before him, a premonition stirring a sense of unease within him.
Sure enough, Julian saw the man smiling gently while holding a glass filled with ice cubes. The very moment he struggled, intending to escape, Ethan leaned down and whispered into his ear: "If you dare to run, or close your legs, I will tie you up and let you enjoy this all night long."
