Chapter - 170
In the blink of an eye, a large crimson candle magically appeared in Rick's hand. The heavy, metallic scent that once lingered in the air was replaced by the sweet fragrance of roses, creating an atmosphere ripe with anticipation and possibility.
Rick took a slow, deliberate breath, a mischievous grin dancing across his lips as he closed the gap between himself and Linda. She felt a rush of apprehension, rendered speechless by the magnetic pull of his presence.
Leaning in close, he hovered over her like an inquisitive explorer, his senses intoxicated by her scent. With gentle hands, he traced the curves of her legs, explored the contours of her hands, and playfully tugged at her clothing in search of something elusive.
