In front of them was a large glass window, acting like a mirror that reflected their intimate images back at them.

Mitchel's hand was stabilizing Raegan's hip, while his injured arm loosely encircled her waist.

Raegan found themselves in a pose that was bound to quicken pulses.

As Mitchel caught sight of her reddening ears, he felt an urge, his look becoming more intense. “I wasn't exaggerating," he whispered.

"You are incredibly soft..."

Raegan found herself at a loss for words. His remark was shockingly bold, causing her face to flush even hotter.

The surrounding air grew heavy with unspoken tension.

Mitchel's fingertip lightly caressed Raegan's earlobe, hinting at something more, his gaze burning with intensity.

Raegan's cheeks turned red. She felt utterly exposed under his gaze, as if he could see right through her.

The warmth in Raegan's ears intensified by the second. For the first time, she realized how touches could evoke such deep, stirring sensations, making her whole being feel light and fluttery from the intensity of it all.

Holding onto a sliver of sanity, Raegan tried to resist the pull of her emotions. She managed to say, albeit with difficulty, “Mitchel, do not..."

But Mitchel's touch lingered on her earlobe, showing no sign of stopping. "Do not... What?" His voice, laced with a husky Longing, suggesting he was ready for more mischief.

With her face glowing red, Raegan gently reminded him, "This isn't the right place."

Mitchel's look deepened, his tone suggesting more than words could.

“Then, would it be different if we were at my place?"

Raegan was left speechless by his implication, her mind racing for an answer.

Seeing her reaction, Mitchel seized the moment to press a quick kiss to her Lips.

Just then, Luis emerged from the lab. “Everything's fine with the..."

His words trailed off as he caught sight of them, saying quickly, "I'll leave you two..."

Luis made a hasty exit, leaving as quickly as he could.
