Alistair had already unbuttoned Audrey's shirt before she even noticed.

"Don't... don't ask me..." Shameful, Audrey flushed red, but she did not push him away, resting her hands on his shoulder.

Alistair's dense kisses were fierce and urgent. Like a teenager tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, no longer satisfied with a superficial taste but wanting to suck dry the woman in his arms.

The atmosphere in the room heated up, the scene more tender and enchanting than the moonlight outside the window.

The horny man suddenly narrowed his eyes, his Adam's apple slightly moving, but just as he reached into her clothes, the urgent and piercing sound of a phone ringing shattered the tranquility of the room.

Recognizing her ringtone, Audrey regained a bit of clarity. She lifted her hand to push against Alistair's chest. "There might be something important..."
