Connor watched Camila, her cheeks glowing with a rosy blush, her eyes sparkling with a certain allure. He swallowed hard, feeling his throat tighten.

A voice in his head practically shouted, *Stop staring or you're gonna lose it.*

He cleared his throat and took a deep breath. "I'm gonna go take a shower," he said, his voice coming out rough.

If he did, people might start gossiping about things that would make her want to bury herself in embarrassment.

Connor raised an eyebrow, a playful smile forming as he kissed her glossy lips lightly, "Alright."

Not trusting himself to stay any longer, he quickly headed to the lounge.

Camila sat on her desk, letting out a soft sigh, trying to calm her racing heart. Once her cheeks cooled down, she got off the desk, straightened her clothes, and grabbed a random folder from his bookshelf, pretending to be busy as she walked out of his office.

She texted Erica back, [I'm good, but Connor has a meeting; he might be late.]

Erica replied, [OK]
