Seeing the task’s conditions, Dapper was stunned.
"What the actual fuck? I’m not supposed to fuck her? Then what’s even the point?" Dapper muttered, his face darkening instantly.
He slipped on his underwear and pants, then made his way toward the shared room he had with Ruth. Opening the door, he found her bundled tightly beneath the bedsheet from head to toe.
"Ruth? Are you okay?" Dapper called out softly, but there was no response. She was either too embarrassed to speak or pretending to be asleep. He doubted the latter.
"I’ll serve myself," he said aloud, closing the door behind him to let her know he was heading for dinner.
’I doubt Ruth would want to show her face again after what just happened. This is going to be a risky move,’ Dapper thought as he descended the stairs and took a seat on the couch in the living room. He waited a few minutes—still, Ruth didn’t come out.
"Now’s the time," he whispered to himself, getting up with purpose and moving toward the second staircase that led to Belinda’s room. He ascended slowly, tiptoeing carefully to avoid any noise.
