She could see the half-inch scar on his left shin.
Full fraktal Nudity
Kira looked away.
Austyn's eyes were closed, which was a relief.
Kira wiggled her toes, feeling awkward in the silence.
She cleared her throat and tried to find something to talk about. 'So, um, you and Luca, what did you two talk about?' 'Nothing in particular. We went out for a smoke.
Kira didn't buy it. 'Isabel told me not to trust everything a man says. She said it's best to take it with a giant pinch of salt.' Austyn opened his eyes. 'She said that?'
'Uh-huh.'
'Stay away from her.'
'Why?'
'She's a bad influence.'
Kira disagreed. 'I think she's quite nice.'
Austyn sat up.
Water sloshed about in the tub.
He planted both hands on his knees.
Kira gawked at his biceps and swallowed.
'Come here."
She shook her head.
She knew what the man had in mind.
But there was a proper place for everything.
A bathroom, for example, was meant for ablutions and not amorous activities.
Austyn didn't push. "The water's getting cold.
"Then you go out first.'
Austyn cocked an eyebrow.
The next second, he stood up,
Water splashed everywhere.
Pull frontal Nudity
Kira was treated to a delectable view of his nakedness.
His body was lean but muscular, a combination of grace and power.
Like a leopard.
Kira caught herself staring and lowered her eyes
She recalled her class group chat.
One of Austyn's admirers had requested shots of full-frontal nudity.
Kira distracted herself by thinking, she'd make a bundle if she had a camera right now.

Austyn swung a long leg over the tub, picked up a towel, wrapped it around his waist and
padded barefoot out of the room, unaware that he'd almost become the subject of erotic photography.
Kira didn't look up until the door clicked shut.
She splashed water onto her burning cheeks.
The tepid water suited her just fine.
She spent another five minutes in the tub, waiting for her body temperature and heart rate to
return to normal.
She dried herself with a towel and got dressed in her PJs.
When she came out, Austyn was standing on the balcony, smoking.
Kira tried to tally how many cigarettes he'd already had.
Wasn't he worried about carcinogens?
A watery afternoon sun added a golden sheen to his toned body.
Kira stared at him, lost in thought.
She blinked when Austyn snapped his fingers in front of her face. 'What are you thinking so hard about?1
She smelled the nicotine on his hand. 'How many cigarettes did you have?"
He blew out a smoke ring. 'Just this one."
'What about since this morning? Kira scrunched up her nose.
It wasn't an unpleasant smell.
The nicotine was mixed with menthol, which gave the cigarette a minty scent. 'What, you don't like it?"
'I don't.'
Kira had never understood the appeal of smoking.
The first time she smoked, she almost coughed her lungs out.
Austyn ground out the half-finished cigarette in an ashtray.
Watching him do this, she blurted, 'Can you quit?' "What?"
He Wants A Stoptease
'Can you quit smoking? Kira looked straight at him.
Austyn smiled. 'I've been smoking for almost ten years now. Do you think I can just quit cold turkey?"
'Please?' She put both palms together, pleading. For me?"
Austyn looked at her. 'You don't want me to smoke?"Exclusive content from .
'I don't. It's not good for your health."
He fastened his gaze on her.
A long while later, he nodded. 'Okay.
'Really?' Kira's face brightened up.
'Really. For you, I'll do it.'
She couldn't help grinning from ear to ear.
'It's also for your own good. You know how many smokers have died from lung cancer?"
She stood on tiptoe to pat his shoulder. 'Good boy.'
She would have liked to tousle his hair but he probably wouldn't like it.
Austyn flicked her hand away.
'Now that I've promised to do something for you,' he said, looking her in the eye, turn.'
'My
it."
'it's your
y turn to do what? You mean like a favour?' Kira nodded, feeling generous. 'Sure, just name
She didn't have any unhealthy vices like puffing away at cancer sticks.
She did have a mild case of sugar addiction, though.
If Austyn asked her to give up ice cream, Kira would...cut back to one cone per day.
But he wasn't thinking about her sweet tooth.g
He pointed to the king-sized bed. 'Lie on it. Take off your clothes.
Kira's mouth hung open.
That was what he had in mind?
'You don't want to?' Austyn raised an eyebrow.
Kira sucked in a breath.
They were married.
Sex was a natural thing.
It wasn't an outrageous demand.
Maybe she should try and be more...open.
Kira lowered her head, looked up at him from under her eyelashes and gave him a coy smile." Of course I want to, honey."
She twirled a strand of her long hair, acting like a bashful bride on wedding night.
'Get to it, then.' Austyn folded his arms, smirking.
Kira sat gingerly on the bed, then she lay down and stretched herself out, an inviting gesture.
The hem of her pyjama top rode up, revealing a section of her flat stomach.
The dark blue satin fabric set off the fairness of her skin.
Austyn couldn't tear his eyes off her midriff.
He recalled the red Versace silk evening gown she wore to a party last month.
The waist was cinched with a silver chain.
