Caesar's face lit up with a wide, charming smile –
his eyes full of warmth as he leaned in slightly closer to her.
He whispered low and husky:
"I'm really glad to hear that."
His hand reached out again, this time gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear .
Ivanna's heart skipped beats at the tender touch.
She felt his warm breath on her skin as he added:
"Because I've wanted to do that for a while now..."
Ivanna's eyes widened in surprise and her cheeks ignited into an even deeper blush –
she wrote again on the paper, her hand slightly trembling:
"How long is 'a while'?"
Caesar chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling with amusement –
before he leaned in closer, his voice barely audible:
"Since the day you opened the door in that bathrobe...or perhaps since the day I met you..."
Ivanna's eyes widened even more dramatically at his admission –
her face burning with a fierce blush as she looked like she might melt into her seat.
