Claudia caught a whiff of the body wash and distinctive scent from the man's body, and a heat spread through her.

She gazed at his short hair, which was still damp, and couldn't resist running her fingers through it, noting, "Your hair is not dry."

“It will dry later. Are you sleepy?" he inquired once more.

Claudia was bewildered as to why he was asking that. Weren't they going to sleep whether she was sleepy or not?

Although she didn't understand, she still responded, “I'm a little sleepy."

Bennett checked his watch and suggested, "It's ten o'clock. Shall we sleep at half past ten?"

Claudia looked at him and immediately understood what he was implying.

A blush crept up her cheeks, and she murmured, "I haven't practiced the piano for days."

"You usually sleep at half past ten."

As he spoke again, his thin lips drew nearer to her, his warmth enveloping her.

"Tom"

Her sentence was cut short as he kissed her on the Lips.

Initially, the kiss was very steady and gentle, caressing her lips as if someone was gently wiping them with wet and soft cotton.

But gradually, Bennett's impatience began to show, evidently unsatisfied with a simple kiss.

He began to go deeper, and the kiss became hotter, the passion intensifying like a blazing ball of fire, while she, like water, was instantly ignited by his touch. His kiss sparked her excitement.

It was late October, and evenings were chilly, and without heating, the room would leave one feeling a little cold without a quilt.

Despite the cold, Claudia felt hot.

Bennett was even worse than her. His forehead was covered with sweat, but he was pleased to see her mirroring his eagerness.

Overwhelmed by sensations, Claudia could only embrace him as she allowed him free rein over her body.

The thin lips moved from her lips to her collarbone. After planting kisses on the beautiful skin of the delicate collarbone, the owner of the lips trailed to another spot.

The pajamas were loose. He effortlessly removed them with one hand, his thin lips descending further from her collarbone.

"No..."

A groan escaped her lips.

Bennett was a man of his word. He had promised Claudia that by half past ten, he would have finished making love to her. Indeed at that time, he withdrew from inside her.
