That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 55

Chapter 55
Then again. Tessa reminded herself sharply that his perfection and his hordes of admirers had nothing to do with her.
Her awkwardness was maintained throughout the massage, although there was no denying that her
skills were comparable to those of a professional masseuse’s.
Presently, a pregnant and strange silence filled the room while there was something odd about the atmosphere. At some point, and without her even noticing, the tips of her ears began to heat up.
Nicholas, however, seemed unaffected, and he only thought of her massage as a professional one. He had to admit that the pain in his bones and muscle had been significantly soothed as she continued to work on them.
At that moment, his dark gaze fell and lingered upon her. She had her head bowed, and her face was serious and focused under the warm lights.

She had neither a heart-stopping beauty nor the delicate elegance that seemed innate to socilaties, but there was something refreshing and enigmatic about her that somehow drew him in.
Her porcelain hands were nimble as they swiftly found and worked on the aching spots in his legs, effectively putting his discomfort to rest.
All the staring must have led him into a trance, for after a while, Nicholas started to feel a surge of something like desire rush through him, and it wasn’t ebbing away any time soon.
In fact, the impulse to push Tessa down and have his way with her suddenly felt genuine and overwhelming.
He forced himself to avert his gaze. Pinching the space between his brows, he tried to keep calm as he suppressed the strange urge that had welled up out of nowhere.
Around ten minutes later, Tessa looked up at him and asked softly, “Does it feel better now?”
Nicholas nodded and said, “Much better.”
She let out an awkward dry cough and hummed in response, muttering, “Well, glad to be of help.”
Following that, she quickly placed his legs down once more and created some distance between them rather intentionally.
At the sight of this, the corners of Nicholas’ lips twitched with the beginnings of a smile, and he thought that there were still some things that he might have to go over with her.
