Chapter 45: Ahem!

The light in the room was dim, accentuating the romantic air in the room. Valerie laid on her stomach, on a massage table. Her lower body was covered with a white towel. Greg poured lavender oil on his palm, starting from her upper back, he used long strokes and gentle pressure.

As Greg's hands glided across her skin, Valerie felt her muscles relax, releasing the tension she had been carrying for days. The dim light and soothing scent of lavender oil created a calming atmosphere, and she closed her eyes, letting out a gentle sigh.

Greg's fingers worked their way down her spine, applying gentle pressure, easing out knots and kinks. Valerie's breathing slowed, and she felt her body melt into the table, her worries and stress seeping away with each stroke.

"Feel okay?" Greg asked, his voice soft and gentle.

"Mmm-hmm," Valerie murmured, her voice barely audible.
