Listening to Kieran's voice deliberately lowered, it somehow felt even more restrained and teasing, stirring an attraction in Lila that made her ears tingle.

She quickly leaned back a little, trying to keep her tone as normal as possible.

"Noah won't beat me," Lila said, her voice sweet and clear.

In truth, she didn't realize her ears were already blushing red.

Kieran chuckled lazily, the warmth of the room from the heating complementing his casual, unhurried movements as he reached up to loosen his tie.

"Is that so? Then you must be pretty amazing," he said, his slow drawl only making the tingling in her ears worse.
