Charlotte's breath hitched, and her grip on her fork tightened slightly. Struggling to suppress her emotions, she
asked, “What exactly are you trying to do?”
Arthur's gaze settled on her ear, where the soft, fair skin of her earlobe had turned an unmistakable shade of
pink from his warm breath. His eyes darkened, and without hesitation, he leaned in and kissed it lightly.

Charlotte's entire body stiffened. It took every ounce of self-control not to jab her fork into his face. Gritting her
teeth, she asked, “What are you eating?”

through the air. “Charlotte, | have something to tell you.”
“Go ahead,” Charlotte replied, stopping in her tracks.
