Alex POV:
As she opened the gate, a warm smile spread across her face, and she kissed my cheeks, her lips soft and inviting. "Welcome," she said, her voice like music.
I could sense Rhino's gaze on us, but he quickly turned away when I flashed him a discreet hand signal. I stepped inside, taking in the cozy bungalow, surrounded by lush greenery. I hadn't expected her to live in such a humble abode.
My eyes wandered to the clothesline, where a few garments hung, including some delicate female undergarments. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
Jenny POV:
I caught him staring at my undergarments, and my face flushed with embarrassment. I remembered washing and drying them outside a few days ago, never expecting him to see them.
"Jenny, why didn't you take those inside?" I asked myself, feeling exposed.
I tried to distract him by pretending to trip, and he swiftly caught me, his hands gentle yet firm. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice low and soothing.
