She turned the air conditioning to the lowest setting, but the heat coursing through her body refused to subside. The room was filled with Alexander’s scent, like an oasis in a desert, beckoning her to come closer. 

Frustrated, Olivia rolled up her sleeves. Suddenly, Alexander stood up. 

She instinctively took a step back. 

“W–what are you doing?”

Her skin was cool from the prolonged exposure to the cold water. As she instinctively felt the warmth of his body, she unconsciously nestled closer into his arms, nuzzling into his chest even in her sleep.
