Nico's hand closed around the hem of her nightgown, his knuckles grazing her thighs before he and yanked it upward in one rough motion. The thin silk brushed over Mara's skin, catching for a second on her nipples before flying off and landing on the floor behind him.
The cool air of the room hit her bare breasts instantly, tightening her nipples into aching points. She stood before him in nothing but black lace panties that barely covered her ass.
Her chest rose and fell in quick, shallow breaths, and the lace between her thighs were getting damp just from the way he had looked at her.
His hungry eyes dragged over every inch of her body slowly like a predator savouring its prey before going for the kill.
Mara's gaze dropped to his chest in the same beat.
