Chapter 6

A strange atmosphere permeated the air.

I couldn't help but ask him:

"What happened to you just now?"

His ears were bright red, as if they were bleeding.

The usually cold and aloof man now had eyes filled with deep, intense desire.

He said:

"I'm going to take a shower."

Then he bent down and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the hem of my hoodie.

With a husky voice, he instructed:

"You go to sleep first."

Before I could say anything, Jaxon quickly strode to the bathroom.

The sound of running water began.

I lay on Jaxon's bed, taking a while to calm down.

I reached behind to touch my cool cheeks.

I think I understood something.

Jaxon was tall and lean, worked out often, with a nicely toned body.

He had a high nose bridge and a sharp jawline.

His fingers were long and slender, with defined knuckles.

By all accounts, he shouldn't have... given up so easily.

Never had a girlfriend? Never been intimate with a girl?
