Her voice was soft and sweet, laced with a subtle hint of flirtation. The flushed corners of her eyes held an innocent, yet deeply seductive allure.
Gonzalez swallowed hard, his breathing instantly growing heavier.
Norah took a step forward and wrapped her arms around his waist. Pressing herself flush against his solid chest, she murmured, "Let's sleep together. Okay?"
Blood roared in Gonzalez's ears. His expression turned dangerously somber, resembling the eerie calm right before a hurricane. He had no idea what she was actually asking for.
Was this just the drunken clinging of a sleepy girl, or did she mean exactly what he wanted her to mean?
Whatever it was, he was completely incapable of pushing her away.
He gently peeled her hands off his waist, only to grip her hand tightly and pull her into his apartment.
Once inside, Norah grabbed Circe, collapsing sideways onto the couch and giggling uncontrollably. The cat had been fast asleep and was not at all thrilled about being abruptly woken up, squirming grumpily in her grip.
Gonzalez quickly brewed a cup of hangover tea and handed it to her. "Drink this."
Norah aggressively shook her head. "No. It tastes gross."
"If you drink it, you won't have a headache tomorrow," he coaxed, his voice a low, soothing rumble.
She pretended not to hear him, trying to force the grumpy cat to play with her instead.
Defeated, Gonzalez set the mug on the coffee table. "Do you want to take a shower?"
Norah turned, looking at him with wide, innocent, liquid eyes. "Will you help me wash?"
His gaze grew intensely predatory, his voice dropping to a dangerous, gravelly rasp. "Norah, are you doing this on purpose?"
She maintained her picture-perfect innocence, completely unfazed. "Are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself? What exactly do you want to do to me?"
Gonzalez was rendered entirely speechless.
Norah giggled playfully. "Run the bath for me. I'll wash myself."
He took a long, jagged breath, forcing himself to turn around and head to the bathroom to start the water.
Clutching Circe, Norah flashed a wicked smile. "Let's wash together."
