    Noelle''s face felt warm, and she held Charles''s arms, her cheeks red as he nibbled on her lip.


    Charles looked down into her pretty eyes, hidden beneath her longshes. He softly touched her cheek, lifted her chin, and gently bumped foreheads with her. "Nelly, what do we do now?"

    With her ts on, she was quite a bit shorter than Charles. She tiptoed to fix his tie, reaching up toward him.
