Part II 17(4/23)

ip your head back slowly,” he murmurs. I do as he

asks and the oyster slips down my throat. He doesn’t

touch me, only the shell.

Christian helps himself to one, then feeds me another.

We continue this tortuous routine until all twelve are gone.

His skin never connects with mine. It’s driving me crazy.

“Still like oysters?” he asks as I swallow the final one.

I nod, flushed, cra一ving his touch.

“Good.”

I squirm in my seat. Why is this so hot?
