Ara was still embarrassed even after they'd returned to their residence. She could still recall Hamon's confession and how they'd kissed passionately that almost led to something else. She still couldn't believe how she was so lost in the heat of the moment and didn't even protest.
Furthermore, now she'd have to sleep in the same space as him. Their sleeping arrangement had become a nightly routine for her, she'd have to meet him every night. It would be the same tonight even after sharing not-so-chaste kisses with him.
She could no longer avoid the feelings of her heart and the tingling sensation that hadn't seemed to stop. Everytime she remember how his hands had touched her, she'd feel a tight knot below her abdomen and a wave of heat flowing over her.
