His hand wasn’t just warm–it burned with an almost scalding heat against Aria’s skin.
Aria was surprised. ‘Did I even do anything? I just touched him for a second,‘ she thought.
A thought shed through Aria’s mind, and before she could stop herself, her gaze involuntarily dropped downward.
His fingers mped around her chin again, forcing her head up.
“Eyes up here,” Owenmanded.
As their eyes met, Aria caught the faint flush in Owen’s eyes–a hint of deep restraint subtly breaking through.

Aria feigned innocence, her eyes curving with a yful smile. “If you won’t let me touch you,” she teased, “maybe I’ll just go touch someone else.”
Owen’s grip on her wrist tightened possessively.
“Who exactly are you nning to touch?” he demanded.
Aria smirked. “Take a wild guess.”
Owen asked, “That college guy who tipped youst time?”
Aría nodded. “Well, his abs were seriously well–defined.”
Owen released her wrist and turned his head away with a hint of petnce.
“Go ahead,” he muttered, his voice low and breathy with suppressed emotion.
Without hesitation, Aria boldly pressed her cool hand against him, her fingertips lightly stroking his skin. With a teasing glint in her eyes, she purred, “Owen, do you know what you look like right now?”
A scorching heat pulsed through her palm like an electric current, sending waves of exhration straight to her core.
Owen suppressed the urge to stop her and listened as she went on.
“You look just like a virtuous gentleman being ravished by a notoribus seductress,” Aria teased.
Aria’s fingers traced over the sculpted surface of Owen’s abs, the skin shifting beneath her touch. With a gentle press, she could feel the hard, defined muscles flexing under her fingertips.

Her hand moved up to his shoulder, her fingers tracing the firm muscle. With a yful grin, she remarked, “You look pretty lean in clothes. <b>I </b>didn’t expect you to be <i>this </i>solid.”
Aria thought to herself, ‘No wonder everyone’s crazy about guys with abs–this is seriously satisfying to touch.”
Owen’s hand clenched tightly at his side, veins bulging prominently on the back. He took a deep breath. ‘She’s had her fun–now it’s my turn <b>to </b>collect,
he thought.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, a sudden grip seized his nape, turning his head back toward her.
Then, Aria’s lips crashed onto his, silencing himpletely.
Aria’s kiss was forceful, making Owen instinctively wrap his arms around her waist as his body fell backward uncontrobly.
As soon as their lips parted, Aria pushed Owen down onto the bed and imed his mouth again.

The kiss took Owen by surprise. The moment their lips met, he froze.
Shepletely dominated him.
‘Being kissed like that felt incredible,‘ he thought. ‘And with her on top? Yeah, I could definitely get used to that.‘
But she really did keep it to just simple kisses, lingering close and nuzzling gently against hirm–never taking it any further.
Owen wasn’t satisfied with just that. He parted her lips and kissed her hungrily, plunging deep.
His hand locked around the back of her neck, giving her no chance to pull away.
Unlike her tentative, fleeting kisses, his kiss was deep and urgent, pouring all his long–restrained desire into her.
Owen’s Adam’s apple bobbed repeatedly as his hand slid upward from her waist, tracing a slow<i>, </i>burning path along her side.

Aria wasn’t just passively enjoying the moment. She’d asionally tease him back with a yful touch, making it clear through her actions just how much she was enjoying it.
Even with the nket between them, Owen’s scorching heat radiated through–so intense that it felt like it could melt right through <b>the </b>barrier, leaving nothing between them at all.
As his palm brushed over the slight bump of a scar, Owen’s fogged mind
d a little. Embracing her, he sat up with her in his arms.
He withdrew slightly, murmured against her lips, “Madelyn, may I kiss your back?”
Aria looked puzzled. “They’re just scars–what’s so special about kissing them?”
“Let me kiss them,” Owen murmured.
“I’ve applied the ointment<i>,</i>” Aria saidzily.
