She strolled to the cupboard, casually opening it to inspect her options. Then, without a flicker of hesitation, she let the towel fall from her body.
Gabriel instinctively turned his head, his body tensing, but he couldn’t stop his eyes from catching the brief, provocative glimpse of her bare form. His pulse quickened with a confusing mix of shame and involuntary desire.

The words slammed into him like a truck. His stomach lurched.
"What did you just say?" he rasped with disbelief. "We... slept together?"
Tania only arched a brow, amused by his unraveling.
"You are lying," he muttered, anger rising behind his eyes. "This is one of your games."
