Chapter 48 Kevan swallowed again , his dark eyes teeming with intense emotion . " Can you see the hair that's stuck ? " Larissa's question broke him out of his thoughts . Blinking , Kevan shoved his fanciful thoughts out of his mind and turned his gaze slowly to the zipper . The dark strands that were caught in the zipper were rather obvious . " It might hurt . Try to bear with it , alright ? " Kevan's throat was dry , and his voice was hoarser than usual . He pinched the top of the zipper together to make sure that the teeth were aligned while his other hand slowly pulled the zip down . His movements were very gentle , and he was so focused on the task that it was as if he were handling a precious thing . Larissa accidentally glimpsed his face in the mirror , and her shock caused her to freeze on the spot . The Kevan now and … and the one she knew were quite different . Her heart began pounding so hard she felt like it might burst from her chest . All she could hear was her heartbeat drumming in her ears , and she quickly looked down to avoid looking at him through the mirror . Kevan successfully brought the zipper back down to the bottom , and in the process , he carefully tugged her hair out . " Did it hurt ? " he asked , and Larissa shook her head . " No. " But the moment she moved her head , her scalp was pulled on , and she hissed in pain . Kevan chuckled , and said in a low voice , " Idiot ." Larissa had no energy to retort . Now that the zipper was fully open , her back was almost completely exposed to Kevan . He still remembered how her skin felt - smooth like silk , and delightfully addictive . Hearing nothing behind her , Larissa asked nervously , " Are you finished ? " " One moment , " Kevan replied . He pinched the zipper again and began zipping upwards . In the process , a knuckle on his middle finger gently brushed across her spine , like a feather , tickling both their hearts . Even though Larissa knew that he was not touching her deliberately , she could not help but tense up and hold her breath . " Done . " The zipper was finally closed , and Kevan let go reluctantly . Larissa also let out a long exhale . " Thank you , " she said . Kevan stuck his hands back into his pockets to curb his urge to touch her . After getting a grip on his breathing , he said coolly , " Turn around; show me . " Larissa let go of her hair and turned around shyly . She was a rather conservative woman and did not like showing too much skin . She had worn strapless gowns before , but only on a handful of occasions . The way Kevan was staring at her made her tug the gown upward with discomfort in an effort to cover herself . But Kevan noticed none of that . When Larissa turned around , his throat tightened , and his mind blanked out . He stared at her , and could only think of one word - fairy . A gorgeous , pure , and saintly fairy - his little fairy . " How is it ? " Larissa asked tentatively .
