Chapter 0267

Nicholas fell silent. He straightened up and proceeded to button up his clothes, donning each garment in turn.

He seemed to revel in my gaze, his movements slow and purposeful, almost as if he was deliberately attempting to seduce me. Every flick of his finger seemed to ooze with allure.
