The heat of her skin easily transmitted through the thin cloth, and His fingers lingered there longer than necessary.
Only when Severine made a move did he stand straight.
"Severine~" Anfisa whined. "Don't you miss me? We haven't met for three whole years."
Barely had Severine's lips parted when Anfisa leaned forward, her slightly smaller frame making her appear petite beside Severine.
