Nella instinctively stepped back, her back pressing against the bathroom door behind her.

The door hadn’t been fully closed. The moment she leaned on it, it swung open.

Her whole body tipped backward, falling straight into the bathroom.

Her expression changed instantly. She grabbed at something at random, trying to steady herself.

There was a sharp click, like the sound of a belt buckle coming undone.

Nella felt her center of gravity still dropping.

Then her waist suddenly tightened.

A powerful force wrapped around her waist and yanked her back up.

-The next second, she was pulled into a warm, heated embrace.

Still shaken, Nella pressed against Alfred’s chest, breathing hard.

She didn’t even realize she was still gripping the unknown hard object she’d grabbed earlier.

It wasn’t until a low chuckle sounded above her head that she snapped out of it.

Only then did she realize she was in Alfred’s arms.

Her already-loose robe collar had slipped lower because of the struggle.

Her smooth, pale shoulder and delicate collarbone were exposed.

And her hand was tightly gripping Alfred’s…

Belt buckle.

The buckle that had been fastened moments ago was now loose. The click she’d heard earlier clearly came from there.

The

way they were standing, paired with her hand undoing his belt, was unbearably intimate. It was unintentional, yet somehow suggestive all the same.

Her heart jolted.

The metal buckle felt scorching hot, and Nella instinctively tried to pull her hand back.

But the next second, a large male hand covered the back of hers, pressing it firmly back against the metal.

A low laugh vibrated through Alfred’s chest and into her ears.

“You took off my belt. You sure you don’t wanna take the next step?”

Because of their position, they were pressed extremely close.

Nella could even hear the steady, powerful heartbeat coming from his chest.

Her own heart began to race in chaotic rhythm along with his.

She’d thought her feelings for Alfred were long gone. Yet with just this simple action, her composure was still shattered.

She forced herself to calm down and tried to pull her hand free, but Alfred didn’t let her.

“Alfred. Let go.”

She looked up. He looked down.

Their eyes met in that instant.

Alfred felt his heartbeat lose all rhythm, turning wild and unsteady.

The teasing smile from moments ago slowly faded away.

He’d always known Nella’s eyes were beautiful, like scattered stars.

At this distance, he saw his own reflection in them.

A version of himself that was almost lost.

His heart pounded fast and hard, dragging him closer to her.

The mix of losing control and holding back was unfamiliar, making him tense.

Yet it was laced with a strange sense of anticipation.

His throat bobbed as he leaned in closer, pinning Nella against the smooth marble wall of the

bathroom.

The hand around her waist slowly lifted and settled on her exposed shoulder.

The slightly rough pads of his fingers brushed over her smooth skin, sending tremors through
