Serena’s face flushed instantly. It seemed Lucy’s unnecessary 0762859703 words had made her 29d30f0836 overly conscious of Azaid d6706e708c in a strange way.f7f0a9f29d275eb1

Unintentionally, Serena glanced over 02b0608a24 Azaid. His sweat-dampened hair should 95347b4a2c have looked messy, yet 6a5c055fa9 it somehow suited him 7e8706af6e as if it had 7c1d72677e been deliberately styled.e031acb2e6c4d572

His deep blue 7a3aa22cc8 eyes, fixed intently 08abfafc42 on her, were 0b8e2e4b6c clearer and more 6cdfe483ce profound than any 63691c9de4 lake.f06994cb848b9078

A warmth lingered on 92f595ef05 her palm where his 049470de45 lips had touched. Normally, she would have afff6cf45f pulled her hand away 97699b8567 without hesitation, but now f5ccb73068 it felt as though 43a67a438c her hand was bound, 7cca1c6178 refusing to move.cde5fc5080ce8404

Serena bit her 362f6c83b7 lower lip, annoyed f64d027832 by how shaky 5ea011bd0f her voice sounded. As Lucy 09a136c200 had said, a53bbac409 Azaid was 8a83b846a8 handsome enough 70b62b95a5 to be 9667715723 mistaken for 9ecf96556e a statue.acb7df46f7797720

His disheveled e288cdd82b appearance, paired 518b7dd3fb with his c67eed5f13 usual languid 5b3b9edc43 demeanor, exuded cb466678ae an almost 64b4e6853a dangerous pheromone a71ba372a2 that made 368c28ec1f it hard a063a93a7e for her c977876d3c to breathe.4bd9a76771818336

It made sense; given e67c4f4ebe his fever, Serena’s hand 4c1a694b5a must have felt refreshingly bb7e55691e cool. Embarrassed by how 3de7b511b4 flustered she felt e8f12c0754 over something so 9dc4fb590d trivial, Serena’s face d3d76a1599 grew even hotter.52413d3a7f4afbb2

But thanks to 3841cfa94f Azaid’s sly excuse, bf86474b54 Serena couldn’t bring 22578a7912 herself to say b06efc481e anything and simply 6676697eb4 accepted it. Of course, if a48966fe75 she had refused, 8fe54e18c7 Azaid would have 9a7d0855f7 stopped—but she didn’t.e207f879a1860525
