That single line was enough to stop her mid-action; the air radiating off him had indeed heated up .
As her ears were pressed against his chest, his strong heartbeat was taking over her senses .
Thump, thump, thump . The rhythmic beat was calming her and letting her feel secure, just like when they had been kids .
On summer day at the Wall Street, the trees in the courtyard had been blossoming brilliantly . Back then, she had been better at climbing walls .

Back then, she had been aware of his cleanliness . Even then, she still couldn’t resist the urge to roll around in his bed while he had watched with a sullen expression, wrapping her in a large towel to secure her in place . But he had never been as dangerous as he was right now .
