The sound of rushing water cfrom the bathroom.
Celine was in the middle of her shower.
Adam stood by the window, which he had opened to let the cool night air sweep in, hoping it would cool down the restless heat burning in his chest.
But the fire within him burned even stronger when he thought of Celine's mature, seductive figure.
Memories of those passionate nights they shared three years ago cflooding back, making his self-control waver.

Soon, the sound of running water stopped. Adam closed the window just as the bathroom door opened. Celine walked out.
Since the sleepwear from earlier was completely inappropriate, she had picked out one of Adam's white dress shirts from the cabinside.
The oversized shirt hung loosely over her petite, curvy frame, leaving her legs bare with only a pair of white slippers on her feet. Her long, dark hair was slightly damp, cascading over her shoulders.
She looked like she'd just stepped out of a dream-an irresistible ambrosia.
Upon noticing Adam's staring, Celine immediately glared at him. "What are you looking at? If you don't stop, I'll gouge your eyes out." Adam smirked. "Why so fierce?" Celine snapped, "You know exactly why! The couch is mine tonight!" The room had both a bed and a large, soft couch-comfortable enough to sleep on.
She walked over and lay down on the couch. "Mr. Alvarez, you take the bed." Adam walked over. "Get on the bed. I'll take the sofa." Celine refused. "Mr. Alvarez, this is your space. Thanks for lettingstay. I'll take the couch." Adam raised an eyebrow. "Do you really think I'm the type of man who would let a woman sleep on the couch?" And with that, he leaned down and scooped her up into his arms.
Just like that, Celine was in his embrace. Her legs kicked around as she struggled, flashing the skin of her bare legs in midair. "Putdown, Mr. Alvarez!" fo Adam carried her to the bed and placed her down. "Be good. Sleep on the bed." "But-" Adam leaned in. "Celine, if you say one more word, I'll make a better suggestion -we both sleep in the bed." Sleep together? In the sbed? He wanted to sleep with her? Celine instantly pulled the blanket over herself, burying down into the mattress.
"Fine! Then I'll take the bed. Please go sleep on the couch." Adam smirked, reached out, and gave her cheek a light pinch before heading into the bathroom.
Celine lay on the bed, listening as the shower started. The sound of water filled the room again. She was starting to regret staying the night.
She never expected that, after three years, they would be living under the sroof again.
Just then, a notification rang out from her phone. It was a messaget from her group chat with Hailey and Robin.
