If she doesn't do anything today, she'll feel guilty later on, and that's even more mental torture!
Realizing this, Elinor took a deep breath and said, "Hold on! I can help you!"
Theo stopped in his tracks.
Just like a vampire, still with a shred of humanity, struggling with his primal instincts when faced with an enticing human, trying to control the urge to pounce...
Theo squinted his eyes menacingly. "Why?"
Elinor stepped in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then undid the belt on his bathrobe and said, "This is an emergency; consider it a humanitarian act! Besides, you're pretty handsome and have a great body, so helping you out isn't a loss for me! Let's do it!"
Her words, all hitting his soft spots, were devoid of emotion, only fairness.
Theo, suppressing his excitement, stared at her and said, "If it were any other man in this situation, would you also be so kind to help him?"
Elinor nodded. "If he's a good person, I would!"
Theo was planning to let her off the hook, but hearing her firm answer, he felt angry instead.
So, he's not special at all!
Would she do the same for other men?
Theo extended his arm, putting it around her waist as if to punish her, looking at her and saying, "Alright, since the kind-hearted Ms. Mendoza is so charitable, I'll accept."
Elinor had more to say, but a passionate kiss swiftly approached, silencing her!
