Flora’s ears twitched, a blush spreading from her neck up to her ears.
Connor’s night vision was exceptional, allowing him to see the flush on her face even in the dim light. The shadows added a certain allure to the moment.
“Does this make it more exciting?” he murmured, his lips brushing against Flora’s earlobe, sending tingles down her spine and making her knees weak.
Flora was the first to cave, turning to face Connor and wrapping her arms around his neck, her eyes misty and a bit reproachful. “Connor, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve already picked up some naughty tricks!”

dark eyes.
“It’s okay-”
Before she could finish, he silenced her with a kiss.
Three minutes later, Connor pulled back, savoring the moment, and smiled.
“Yeah, really sweet.”
Flora blinked. “Want to taste something even sweeter, Mr. Connor?”

“Flora, why is your face so red?” Cynthia asked, noting the flush on Flora’s cheeks.

Flora coughed…
She rubbed her legs, finished her nightly routine, and went to bed.
