Chapter 5 It Won't Be a Loss Elaine was naturally shy , and saying something like that was difficult for her . Once she spoke , her delicate face turned a soft pink , glowing under the light , her skin vibrant and radiant . Her skin was flawless - smooth and pale like jewel . Her cheeks were soft and rosy , almost baby - like , so tender that they seemed to invite a gentle touch . Her beauty was pure but also had a subtle charm . Jackson narrowed his eyes , looking her over slowly . His thin lips curled into a sarcastic smile . " Not every woman who comes knocking gets what she wants . " Elaine blushed with both embarrassment and frustration . The flush on her fair skin made her look even more captivating and radiant , while her clear eyes shone brightly . She bit her lip and , gathering courage , moved closer to him , wrapping her arms around his waist - but not pressing her body against his . She lifted her chin , meeting his gaze .

His voice was cold and detached . " Go take a shower first . " " Okay . " She responded quietly , heading to the bathroom , turning on the water , and standing under the shower , her heart pounding loudly . For a brief moment , she regretted acting so impulsively .

The steam from the shower left a soft pink glow on her face , and the bathrobe was loosely tied , exposing her delicate collarbone , her skin flawless and smooth . Elaine tugged at the bathrobe , which was clearly too big for her . It was Jackson's , and it hung loosely , almost to her ankles , looking slightly comical . Seeing her awkwardly clutching the robe , Jackson frowned slightly . " If you regret it , you can leave now . " Elaine hesitated , then bit her lower lip , moving closer and slowly untying the bathrobe . Though she was slender , her figure was well - proportioned , and her skin glowed like fine porcelain , smooth and radiant under the light . She bent down to kiss him , but her inexperience showed in her tentative , unsure movements . Jackson turned his head slightly , avoiding her . " No experience ?
