This contrast between his usual abstinence and the fiery words he now spoke created a stark and alluring temptation.

His breath teased her car, causing her sensitive skin to flush.

Matthew’s eyes darkened quickly as his fingertip touched her face, experiencing the expected softness.

“I haven’t showered yet. I’ll go shower. You… you go enjoy the hot spring first,” Aurelia stammered, pushing Matthew out of the bathroom without daring to look at him.

Matthew’s mind conjured up images of Aurelia’s flushed cheeks and trembling eyelashes, causing his Adam’s apple to bob once more.
