Supporting on his elbows, Leander gazed into her eyes. Viviana tried to look away. His eyes did something to her that she cannot describe.
But Leander held her cheeks. Viviana had to look at him. His hold was gentle, and his eyes were gentler. Once again, in the silence of the night, she fell into the depth of his eyes.
He had very handsome features. She did think of him as Lucifer-level handsome. He is that handsome. And in the heart of a lifelong spinster like her, having a man that handsome above, in this intimate position, did cause a stir.
"What?" she asked as he was not doing anything for some time. Although she didn't mind staring at his face for some more time.
"You are very pretty," he said with a smile.
"Am I?" A bright smile bloomed on Viviana's face immediately before her brain could tell her heart to be indifferent.
Who doesn't love to be called pretty by someone?
"You are…" he kissed her forehead.
