    Tim sorry. Mr. Chadwick, Gwendolyn stammered, biting her lower lip, regretting her prying into what felt


    like forbidden territory. Howard slid his hand to her cheek, his fingers trailing down her porcin neck.


    “I like it when you ask,” he murmured


    Gwendolyn’s heart was a cacophony of unspeakable feelings


    Suddenly, he leaned in, his lips capturing hers in a kiss.


    She closed her eyes, surrendering to the moment. The faint scent of his cologne mingled with the


    charged air. She felt dizzy, almost intoxicated by their closeness


    Her hands reached up, instinctively wapping around his neck.


    “Dr. Gwen, is your lipstick poisoned?” he teased in a low murmur


    Their breaths intertwined, hot and urgent. His eyes, dark and gleaming, seemed to bewitch her very


    soul.


    Her face flushed a deep crimson. “No, it’s not,” she managed to reply, recalling the ingredients list.


    “Then make sure to wear it more often,” he said in a tone that sent ripples through her heart.

    “Maybe it’s time to learn something new?”


    “Huh?”


    Howard took her hand and ced it on his lower abdomen, unfastening his belt with a soft click and

    Gwendolyn sat primly on the couch, the leather belt still warm in her hands, her cheeks burning with


    heat.


    She wasn’t used to sharing a bed with Howard, let alone spending time alone with him.


    What would happen tonight? Would they make love?


    Howard’s phone, left on the coffee table, began to vibrate with a call from an unknown number.
