"Actually... you look even better without it." Suddenly, Ophelia's cheeks turned burning red again. 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 fingertips gently tracing the outline of her face. Ophelia said, "What are you doing?
