Vicky looked up and saw Tyler walking toward her after finishing his shower. His robe hung on his body, but his lean, toned chest and muscular body were out in the open. The eight-pack abs looked sturdy, so much to the point she could have a nosebleed.
Despite having seen it numerous times, her face always turned red and hot seeing that hot body. She quickly looked away. "Nothing…"
Tyler walked to her and placed both hands on the bed beside her body, trapping her between the bed and his chest.
"Are you sure it's nothing?" he asked.
She still did not dare to look at him. "Yes."
Surely, she was not going to tell him that she was wondering about the difference between him and the man with the mask. There were some differences, but she got a feeling…that there was a similarity of sorts.
'Are men all built the same? Like, you can't tell the difference between two men once the light is off?' she thought.
Tyler did not think too much and said, "I'm going to work for a while in the study. Why don't you get some sleep?"
"Okay," Vicky replied.
He lowered his head and pecked her forehead. "Call me if you need anything."
She had a peculiar kind of familiar feeling about his kiss. She glared at his thin lips as her mind raced.
Tyler was a sensitive and alert person, and he instantly felt something was off. As he squinted his blue eyes, he said, "Vicky, you're acting strange today."
"I… Maybe I didn't get any good sleep these few days," she replied.
Tyler stared at her for a few seconds before he softly said, "I'll spend time with you tonight."
Vicky's heart sank when Tyler mentioned the word 'tonight'. She was afraid Tyler would discover something and thus pretended to look tired and lay on the bed.
"You can do your work. I'm going to sleep for a while," she said.
"Okay," Tyler replied.
He put her to bed and left the room. When the door closed, Vicky opened her eyes again.
'He's becoming gentler…but that only makes me more upset and uncomfortable,' she thought.
