The room was filled with Patrick's lingering scent of masculine cologne as he loomed over Jane with intense eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, Jane spoke up, "Uh... your grandpa did."
"Really?" Patrick raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Jane nodded quickly, explaining, "He wanted to imply that you were... impotent."
Patrick's face darkened, but a glimmer of desire sparkled in his eyes, perhaps due to the aphrodisiac-laden food his grandfather had served.
At this moment, Jane looked like a blooming flower, and Patrick couldn't resist wanting to pluck her.
Jane licked her dry lips, her eyes shimmering with innocence. "I didn't mean anything..."
Seductively, Patrick leaned closer, and their lips met. Jane's heart raced as she felt the strange warmth of his kiss. She bit her lip and gently pushed him away, whispering, "I'm going to take a shower."
She hurried into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. After her quick shower, she realized that she had no clothes to wear.
"Patrick!" Jane called out.
Patrick's voice came from the other side of the bathroom door, and he asked, "What's up?"
Jane explained, "I don't have any clothes. Can you go to Water Moon Community and get something for me?"
With both hands cupping her flushed cheeks, she felt embarrassed to make this request.
"Your grandpa locked the door. I can't teleport, you know," Patrick teased, knowing that his grandfather was not easily swayed.
Feeling even more embarrassed, Jane contemplated calling Mike to plead with him. But before she could do so, Patrick knocked on the door and charmingly said, "Open up."
Suspicious of his intentions, Jane cautiously opened the door, holding a hairdryer for self-defense.
Patrick handed her a bag, and she took it inside to examine its contents. It contained a new set of women's underwear and a clean white shirt.
Jane noticed the oversized shirt and wondered aloud, "Why is the shirt so big, like it belongs to a man? Is it yours?"
She frowned, puzzled by the presence of women's underwear. Did Patrick often bring women here? Reluctantly, she got dressed and stepped out.
When she entered the bedroom, Patrick was taken aback by her appearance. His eyes smoldered with passion as he gazed at her. With her wet hair and his oversized shirt, she looked incredibly sexy.
Patrick swallowed hard, and Jane questioned him, "How come you have a set of women's underwear at home?"
Blushing under his intense scrutiny, Jane attempted to distract him by asking, "Do you often bring women here?"
