“What do you anticipate? You trying like that’s like pouring gasoline on an already flaming hearth. I’ve bought about as a lot resistance as a match stick proper now.”

She snatched her serviette to cowl her lips, however not earlier than he noticed her smile.

“You’re lovely. The outfit you’re carrying is horny as hell. You’d tempt Devil himself.”

“I solely have one particular person I care to tempt.”
