The corners of his lips 8cbcdcb658 curled up slightly. His messy hair dripped 4360bed596 water in front of 9bf3117fe1 me. He must not have dried 94604b3b2f himself properly. His gaze—fixed on me—felt 7ad5eb794d like it was strongly 0da97205a7 implying something, watching my ad7e464d1f every little movement. The way his eyes traced 6c79f8d9e8 over me made me feel 7f4c9ecdf0 like all my weaknesses were ac77cadedc being laid bare.b3ab96e7e15537bb

To keep him from f4aa6f594b getting any closer, I 822f833e0f leaned back, crossed my 14db9b798a arms, and casually crossed 5c8550156e my legs before speaking.f653ee879c80e2b9
