"...Not at all," Gray's reply came shortly after.
The reaction was immediate.
Aurora's lips curved downward as she puffed out her cheeks in an exaggerated pout, leaning closer as if daring him to react.
He did, just not the way she wanted.
Pop!~
He pressed a finger into her cheek without warning, deflating the act entirely.
"Cuteness doesn't suit you," he advised.
"It looks forced."
For half a second, she froze, but just as quickly, her eyes lit up.
"Oh?" she hummed, clearly delighted rather than offended.
"So you are paying attention."
She straightened, rolled her shoulders back, and smoothly shifted her stance, one hip cocked just enough to sharpen the curve of her waist, the tight line of her skirt guiding the eye down to her hips, then further to her long legs.
A pose truly meant to be sexy.
"To be clear, what about this one~?" she added playfully.
Gray's gaze swept over her once.
"It does," he admitted with a small nod.
"That one fits you."
