Jeslyn’s eyelids fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. From her blurry vision, she could see she was in a bedroom. She sat up and rested her back on the headboard. With her little movement, the duvet slid off her chest, revealing her beautiful pale skin.

She hurried into the bathroom, washed herself in less than five minutes, and ran back out. She picked out black trousers, a tank top and wore black boots.
