Angela POV

Sean released my hand, finally ending mir intimate moment, I found myself oddly disappointed at the loss of contact, though I tried not to show it.

"Why do you look so disappointed? Sean asked, a teasing smile playing on his lips. Is it because I stopped? Are you disappointed?"

"No!" I denied quickly, perhaps too forcefully to be convincing

I could still feel the warmth where his lips had touched my earlobe, the tingling sensation that made me want to reach up and touch the spot. I restrained myself, not wanting to give him the sallaction.

"Of course," I agreed.

*Excellent. As long as you approve, I'll arrange everything, Victoria shid, her happiness evident as she excused herself to prepare lunch.

After she left, Sean studied my expression, seemingly noticing my hesitation.

"If you're reluctant, you don't have to agree," he said quietly. "I can the bad guy here,
