As soon as Nova heard Bentley say he was naked, she immediately shut her eyes. Her hands folded into fists, and she squeezed her eyes tightly closed. Though she could no longer see, she could hear the sound of the blanket shuffling as Bentley got down from the bed. His footsteps were gentle, almost tentative, as he walked toward her. Then she felt it—his touch on her chin.

Her heart raced, and she felt a warm flush spread across her cheeks. It was a strangely intimate gesture, and she felt herself leaning slightly into his hand, craving more of the warmth and comfort it provided.
She knew she shouldn't be doing it but she did.
