Elise glanced at Loriel and sheepishly smiled. "I'd like that, Loriel."
"Then allow me to help you," he said.
"I think I can do it by myself," Elise wanted to reject his suggestion because she felt it would be too intimate. She was worried her heart would beat like crazy.
"It's easier if I help you, Elise."
"Alright, please assist me." Elise gently raised her hair.
Loriel took the necklace in his hand as he went behind her. The soft curve of her nape and the sweet scent of her skin engulfed Loriel's senses as he resisted the urge to kiss her then and there.
He clasped the necklace around her neck and then looked back at her with a smile.
"Thank you for the help, Loriel. I love it." Elise gently touched the necklace and returned his smile with one of her own.
