Caroline looked up and saw Kirk coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around

Cold water fell from his hair, dripping down his well–defined muscles before getting absorbed by

made Caroline’s heart pound, and her face turned crimson.

Kirk fiddled with Caroline’s earlobes, saying, “You fell asleep last night.”

Kirk pulled her into his arms, asking, “How do you plan to make it up to me?”

Caroline quivered and said shyly, “C–close your eyes.”
