The distinct masculine aura that belonged to a man permeated the air and reached Martina's nose.

Everyone else kept their heads down, not daring to make a sound, fearing to bear the brunt of Benjamin's fury.

Benjamin noticed the way the sheets on the bed were folded, in a unique manner that he could tell was done by Martina.
