It made her feel so warm inside, to know that the sight of her body captivated his attention so much. When his gaze fell upon her pussy, he was taken aback. He cocked his head and met her gaze. She suddenly got self-conscious and sat up. "What? Is there something wrong?" He was staring at her bush, or more precisely. the lack thereof!

I am trying to save you. If you won’t do it for me, do it for your people,” his tone got louder. “I am doing it for my people!!!” I shouted back and then remembering we weren’t in a private place, I lowered my voice. “Do you think I want to die?
