Elvis pulled himself away from Nola when he came to his sense. It wasn’t easy, but he managed. Nola gasped breathlessly: with a reddened face, feeling like it was a dream. She looked bewildered, and her mind went blank momentarily, which Elvis found very attractive.

“That’s the consequence of seducing me in the morning” Elvis left the room in a good mood.

Nola, who paid no attention to Elvis‘ smile as he left, didn’t come to her senses until she pinched herself and realized it wasn’t a dream.
