There was amusement in his eyes as he casually adjusted his gold- rimmed glasses. His attitude seemed to say, "Go ahead. I'm watching!"

Ophelia took a deep breath and kept her head down, avoiding his eyes. Next time, she'd hop to the bathroom on one leg rather than let him carry her.

Seeing she didn't move, Kenneth suddenly crouched in front of her, looking up at Ophelia with curious eyes. "What's wrong? Need a hand?"

He wanted to help her take off her pants! Ophelia gave him an eye-roll and lightly pushed him. "No need!"

She thought, 'Look at this guy; he's not even pretending anymore. It felt like it had been ages since she last heard him talk this way. Kenneth's breath wandered along her neck, sending pleasant shivers through Ophelia's body. He propped himself up on the pillow beside her, his
