That night, Fay discovered a part of herself she had never known before.
The heat that bloomed beneath her skin, the pleasure that coursed through her veins—it was intoxicating, overwhelming, and utterly new.
She had always thought of herself as someone untouched by such desires, someone who lived in quiet simplicity and would just cultivate all day long. But Riley had changed that.
He had shown her that her body was capable of feeling in ways she had never imagined.
She wasn't sure whether this awakening was a blessing or a curse. A part of her was grateful—how could she not be, after experiencing something so exquisite?
And yet, another part of her felt uncertain, even fearful. This revelation had come through Riley, and she didn't know what it meant. Did she belong to him now in some way? Was this simply a passing moment, or had something within her shifted forever?
