Chapter 8: Are You Playing Hard to Get?

The body subconsciously retreated, but slipped and fell to the ground because there was water on the floor.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, she suddenly felt a strong arm holding her.

Aria's eyes widened and she fell into a warm embrace before she could return to her senses.

The tip of her nose was haunted by a faint smell of tobacco. Grayson's rough palm was touching her waist and her chest was clinging to his. The temperature seemed to be gradually rising, making Aria's face red and her heart beat wildly.

"Gray... Gray... Grayson." Aria's mind was blank and she faltered, not knowing what to say.

"Why? What are you blushing at?" Grayson smiled with banter, but his palm drifted restlessly.

Everywhere he touched, a flame was ignited, and Aria's breathing became difficult.

The words she had originally prepared for a long time before she came were stuck in her throat. She couldn't say anything, but her hands were subconsciously pushing back.
