Just as Talia finished speaking, Chatwin's pants dropped to the floor with a thud.
Her soul nearly leaped out of her body, her eyes widening to an almost comical degree.
Even though Chatwin still had some fabric on... still!
His bare torso and two very prominent, muscular legs were displayed in all their glory right in front of her.
This... this was practically no different from being completely naked!
And more importantly, the visual right now was alarmingly similar to scenarios Talia had secretly fantasized about in her dreams!
Her eyes scanned up and down, then down and up, stuck in a loop.
She had to admit, Chatwin's physique was absolute perfection. It was a tragedy he wasn't a professional fitness model.
Talia's eyes were round as coins.
Her face felt incredibly hot, burning red like she was running a high fever.
The visual feast instantly made her forget the trauma she had just experienced, leaving only a thousand curses of shock galloping through her brain.
This was the first time in her life she had seen something like this up close.
Then, she suddenly realized something was off.
Registering what she was staring at, Talia slapped both hands over her eyes!
"Ah! Are you crazy, Chatwin?!"
Her embarrassed, panicked scream echoed through the room.
Realizing what she had just witnessed, Talia felt like boiling water had been poured over her cheeks. She was mortified.
But at the same time, she couldn't suppress her curiosity, subtly parting her fingers to peek through the gaps, continuing to take in the spectacular view.
The man casually adjusted his stance. His voice was low, carrying a gravelly texture.
"It's a normal biological reaction. If I didn't have one, then something would really be wrong."
Talia was shocked and flustered.
"You... you were never this generous before."
Chatwin shrugged.
"You never asked to borrow me before."
Talia rolled her eyes.
"How was I supposed to know you'd let me if I asked? You're always just messing with me, you never talk to me seriously."
Chatwin: "Alright, I'll be serious right now. Come on, I'm giving you one minute to touch me. Do you want it or not?"
Talia's eyes went wide with sheer disbelief.
Chatwin blinked, his face the picture of sincerity. He opened his arms, striking a pose that practically invited her to take advantage of him.
In a flash, the sheer temptation of the flesh in front of her completely wiped away the lingering trauma of her Tyrellia trip.
Talia's hormones spiked. She swallowed hard and involuntarily reached out a slender finger, slowly moving it toward Chatwin's chest.
