"Coffee?"

I look up from the frilled pages of the book to meet Andrew, holding a mug of steaming coffee in his hand. With a tight smile, I accept the offer, and after marking the page with my thumb, I take a quiet sip, exhaling as the warmth spreads throughout my body.

He takes a seat by the deck chair I'm resting on, folding his arms behind his head, placed on the backrest of his wheeled mesh recliner. The setting sun shines on the tip of his nose, highlighting the freckles I never bothered to notice before. Knowing that I'm being observant of his motions, he glances at me sideways and quirks an eyebrow. I look away, not questioning the puce shade creeping up my neck at being caught.

He sighs, "So, how's Lillian entertaining you so far?"

"Uh. . . what?"

He lifts his chin to my hand holding the book, and waits for an answer.

"Oh, um. . . ," I sit up with a better posture, straightening my back without leaning too much on the backrest, "Lillian is. . . Sh—she is great! A hetero-feminist has my respect regardless of the situations she's forced to be in."

"I meant, the kinky parts with Mr. Ambrose." He smirks, raising his brows and I lower my gaze to hide the warmth dotting my face.

"How do you even know about Storm And Silence?"

Feigning offended, he looks at me, eyes narrowed to the slightest pretence, "What's the insinuation? That I can't read books?" I try to defend myself, but he cuts me to it. "I'm the one who suggested that to Jason after all."

I take another sip, "Well, it just doesn't seem like your type of thing to read."

"And what's that?" He shuffles deeper within the mesh of the recliner, closing his eyes and letting the sun embolden his features with its last rays of the day.

"I don't know, sports magazine, those with half-naked concubines, pedophiles, maybe even with stories of necrophiliac, or sex-crazed women?" I'm not fond of judging people, but if I remember correctly, he seemed fine the other day openly admitting the disturbing position of his loins in a bottle. So, this shouldn't be offending, right?
