Cassiopeia gasped and grabbed onto Nic's arm when he picked her up effortlessly. In the back of her mind she couldn't help but think about how strong he really must be, to be able to pick her up again after carrying her across Caden's yard earlier, and then cleaning the floor of her shop for hours. Her stomach warmed and flipped just from the idea of it, and her hand tightened slightly on Nic's arm. He really did have great muscle definition.

Cassi had seen Nic without a shirt before and in a muscle shirt, but there was something about him not being obstructed with clothing that made his muscles pop more. Or, perhaps it was just in her head, the emotion of being skin-to-skin with him causing her mind to work in overdrive.

The shock of the temperature difference the hot water brought caused goosebumps to form on her skin, but the thrill of Nic's skin flush with hers didn't help, either. Cassi shifted in Nic's arms, wrapping her arms around him. She shut her eyes when he pressed his forehead to hers and whispered something in Mandarin. Cassi thought she recognized one of the words as love, but she wasn't thinking clearly at the moment.
