Shift the panties
Becca raised an eyebrow at Kai, her expression a mix of annoyance and frustration as she waited for him to respond to the encounter with the mysterious man. Kai's face remained inscrutable; his gaze locked on her with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine.
She gulped nervously, forcing a smile as she turned back to the gentleman who had approached her. "Yeah, I told you I wasn't alone," she said with a tight-lipped smile, her voice tinged with tension.
The man nodded in understanding; his apology sincere as he offered a small bow before making his exit. Becca couldn't help but feel a surge of relief wash over her, grateful that the awkward encounter was finally over.
As the man disappeared into the crowd, Kai slowly turned to face Becca, his expression unreadable. She braced herself for what was to come, her jaw clenched in anticipation, but to her dismay, Kai remained silent.
