Ella Adams and Clarence Cooper each took a bath. Clarence, in a particularly romantic mood, opened a bottle of red wine provided by the hotel. They drank and chatted together for a while.
Ella's nervousness gradually disappeared, so she pretended not to notice as Clarence, seemingly unintentionally, moved closer and closer to her. Finally, Clarence wrapped his arms around her waist. Her body tensed slightly, but she still tried to maintain a calm demeanor. Then she could clearly feel Clarence's fingers through her clothes, slowly caressing her body.
Clarence seemed like a seasoned lover, gentle in his actions and adept at setting the right atmosphere. He even whispered compliments into her ear, his breath warm, "Ella, you're so beautiful..."
Ella's gaze became momentarily dazed, as her mind was flooded with memories of her and Elijah Smith's first time on the big bed in their Bellshire Apartment.
