He gently pinched her cheek and said, "You are more than enough."
He was seldom interested in women, and she was the only woman who could turn him on.
Aurelia would be a fool to believe him. She would've thought that the icy, aloof man would learn to sweet-talk.

She had never seen such a handsome man, like a god descended from heaven. Even Hollywood's most handsome stars would feel inferior in his presence.
