Mitchel, feeling slightly less pained,
swallowed hard and asked, "Do you feel sorry for me?" As he swallowed, a bead of sweat traced a path down his chiseled face unexpectedly, making him irresistibly attractive.

reaction out of her. After countless times, he had learned all her ticklish spots. It wouldn't be long before he managed to make her squirm with delight.
Raegan's cheeks turned pink. "No, stop it! I just want to sleep..." With those words, she wrapped herself in the blanket, making sure Mitchel couldn't get too close.
Mitchel grinned and respected her wishes.
