In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Grace's hair was long, black, and straight. She maintained it very well, and it felt like silk in Xander's fingers.

Xander patiently blew it dry bit by bit. The fragrance of her shampoo wafted in the air, and it was a calming scent.

Grace was thoughtful.

"Xander, no one except my older brother has ever helped me dry my hair."

The sound of the hairdryer was loud, so Xander teased her. "Not even Benjamin?"

"While we were married, he avoided me like the plague. I would be dreaming if I tried to get him to dry my hair."

Grace snorted with laughter. It sounded ridiculous when she said it out loud.

Xander ran his fingers through her hair thoughtfully.

The difference between Benjamin then and now was too big.

Grace wasn't an unattractive woman.

There must have been times when he was tempted, but Benjamin had suppressed it by force.

Then, he had pestered her continuously after their divorce.

This didn't make any sense unless something had stopped him from taking action with Grace.
