Hearing his remark, Vivian was jolted out from her trance. Blinking in confusion, she remembered his question regarding his body.
She blushed immediately and looked away quickly.
Seeing his lady in discomfort and closing her eyes, Finnick raised his brows and wondered about his next move.
Leaving his shirt unbuttoned, he walked over to Vivian who was averting her gaze. He leaned down and squeezed her chin, forcing her eyes to focus on him again.
"Vivian," he whispered in a low, manly voice. "Just watch all you want. I promise I won't charge you."
She widened her eyes in disbelief.
Is it my imagination? Or is Finnick getting more and more shameless with each passing minute?Such a thick-skinned man. She could never hope to match that level of shameless confidence in her lifetime. With her face turning redder, she was forced to gaze at his exposed firm chest in front of her.
Fearing Finnick would see her nervousness, she hastily changed the subject. "Um... What do you think? Will your grandpa know that we did not do 'that' last night?"
Raising his eyebrows, Finnick leaned back a little and shrugged, "Maybe. But so what?"
"So..." Being so close with him made Vivian more flustered. Words just came out of her mouth without going through her brain, "Do you think we'll be scolded for not..."
Finnick raised his eyebrows even higher, "Vivian, what are you trying to imply, hmm?"
Realization dawned on Vivian on what her words sounded like and she felt like committing suicide.
I'm such a fool for mentioning that! I've just trapped myself!
"I... I don’t mean that..." She stuttered as she tried to explain away, fearing that Finnick would misunderstand.
Chuckling lightly, he ventured, "Then pray tell what you mean? Perhaps you can enlighten me?" As he enunciated every word naughtily, his breath blew onto the tip of Vivian's nose. "Don't you know that men have certain needs upon waking up in the mornings?"
