Felix stepped into the quiet apartment, feeling the itch of impatience for not seeing her immediately. His hand was already on thedoorknob, ready to exit as swiftly as he had entered when her voice floated from the bedroom.
"Felix, come to the bedroom."

This was her first time donning such provocative attire, and she was eager to gauge Felix's reaction.
Felix, lingering by the doorway, felt his pupils constrict ever so slightly as his gaze settled on her. The room's brightest light wasoff, the subtle glow from the bedside lamp casting an intimate ambiance.
Carol sauntered over, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You haven't said a word. Do you like it?"His hands reflexively found her waist. "Gorgeous.""Really?" Carol's hand began to wander south to test his reaction, but Felix caught her wrist and pulled her into a deep kiss.
