Penelope turned her body away, turning back to look at the borrowed parchments from the church. Her concentration had gone not only out the window but had jumped out of the window and had dived into the dark cold sea with Damien who now looked the way he looked.
She had seen him shirtless before, said Penny to herself. Was there something else in the wind today that had her face heating up to this extent?
"Are you turned on?" she heard him ask for her heart to come out of her throat. This man...lacked the ability to be subtle, "Don't look embarrassed. You have seen me like this plenty of times in the past." Yes, that is what she was telling herself right now.
"I am doing fine," she said, shuffling the papers in her hand and staring at the words which she wasn't actually reading.
"Mhmm," he responded back, looking her way, he took the towel with him and sauntered towards the bathroom, disappearing behind the curtain that partitioned the room from it.
