Chapter 169: Admiring His Bare Chest

With her no longer scared, she just didn't look at where her hand rested, but let her gaze explore around curiously, from his wide shoulder, down his strong arms, towards his firm chest, before trailing down along his V-shaped waistline... 

She couldn't help but gulp, but why, she didn't know. 

Drayce observed her face and thought, 'Is she blushing?' 

He could only guess it through because he couldn't see her cheeks as they were covered by the veil. Drayce held her other hand too and placed it on his chest as well. He pulled her a little closer and asked, "Does it feel different?"

He clarified, "Standing close to me and touching me like this, does it make you feel different?"

'Different?' she repeated in her mind. She paid attention to how close she was standing to the bare-chested man. 

She heard him talking again. "Or maybe it feels good?"
