Coupled with his exceptionally handsface, the contrast between his usual aloof demeanor and the seductive tone he used now was striking.
The difference was stark and filled with absolute allure and charm. His breath still lingered by her ear, making her skin tingle and blush.
Joe's eyes darkened quickly. His fingers touched her face, finding it smooth, as he had expected. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, Skylar pushed him away.

"You're the best, Nath. Go hand sleep. I'll bring you a gift when I return.
