Let me see it*

Max was sitting on the bed, his eyes checking out Maria, who was standing in front of him with her head held down. Max could also see her body trembling a little.

"Maria, right?" He asked,

"Y-Yes, my lord." Maria nodded, her voice trembling.

"Don't be so nervous, Maria." Max gently said and then patted on the bed beside him and said, "Here, come here and sit beside me."

"Y-Yes!" Maria flinched when she heard him. After hesitating a little, she stiffly walked toward him and sat beside him.

Max extended his hand and lifted her chin up to take a better look at her beautiful face.

~Shiver~

When his hand touched her, Maria's body trembled, and she wanted to jump away from him out of nervousness, but resisted the urge, since that would most likely make Max unhappy.

She let him lift her face up and tried to act calm. However, she couldn't help but close her eyes in embarrassment. Her face became red and her breathing became erratic.
