The man's other hand lightly extended, slipping into her clothes and resting on her left chest.
Through her bra, then her soft skin, he could still feel the rapid throb of her heartbeat.
"Then why is your heart beating so fast?"
The man's fingers were cool, but his palm held its usual warmth, and the contact seemed to scald her, making her heart pound even faster.
Vera Wave panicked and tried to struggle free, but his palm was like an iron clamp. Though it didn't hurt her, it was an unyielding restraint she couldn't escape.
"I... I'm feeling hot!"
His fingers lightly grazed her skin, his tone laced with a teasing lilt.
"So hot that you're getting goosebumps, hm?"
There were some things far beyond her control. Despite not wanting it to, her body still reacted to his touch.
Flustered and annoyed, she grabbed his restless fingers.
"Those... those are because you're making me cold!"
