Nicholas widened his eyes in feigned innocence. The golden morning light spilled over him, making his skin and sculpted lines look almost glowing, as if begging to be bitten again.

“Serena, are you going to ravish me and then refuse to take responsibility p>
Watching his spectacular, peacock-like performance, amusement danced in Serena’s cool eyes. She wasn’t falling for this.
She chuckled, a lazy elegance in her posture, and reached out to hook a finger under his chin. Like she was teasing a helpless boy, her thumb deliberately caressed his jawline.
