Nyla watched Damon’s broad back, feeling warmth in the places where he had touched her. It was as if those spots were burning, sending heat through her body straight to her heart.

A few seconds later, she snapped out of it and carried the pasta outside.

When Damon emerged after washing the pan, he saw Nyla sitting at the dining table, staring down, seemingly lost in thought. He walked over and sat down across from her.

“Why aren’t you eating?” he asked.

Nyla looked up. The moment their eyes met, she quickly looked away. “I’m waiting for you. Let’s eat together.”

With that, she picked up her cutlery and shoved some pasta into her mouth.

“Be careful, it’s hot!” Damon reminded her, but it was too late.

The moment the scalding pasta touched Nyla’s tongue, she frowned in pain.

Feeling a sharp sting, she quickly spat the pasta out.

In the next instant, a cool hand grasped her chin.
