"No secret has ever left Eternia." He said, his hot breath burning against my skin.
I wanted to run away but there was something that rendered me unable to move.
"... And you're my little secret too, Ilsa."

Where was I?
It took me a good five minutes to contemplate the exorbitant interiors covered in golden sunshine as I fluttered my eyes open. Even so, what got me recollecting the dramatic realization of my existence was him—Mr. Vincent Call Me Sir Rivera—laying next to me.
Or, shall I say, almost under me?
Suddenly, I couldn't breathe with this proximity and the inappropriateness of our position. I did all kinds of drama last night, right from turning my back at him to placing a firewall of pillows between us, and this was how I ended up in the morning.
With me rolled on my stomach.
And my arm clung to his bare chest.
And left leg thrown over him.
This was the part where I should probably stick a fork in my neck. Or shoot my brains out. Or jump out of the window.
No. That didn't end well the last time I tried.
Maybe the cliff this time.
Help me! I was hyperventilating, frantically searching for my next move, but I felt paralyzed.
Get off him, stupid Ilsa!
Why does he smell so good?
Hello! You were afraid of him.
I still was. What the fuck was happening?
Panicked, I jumped off the bed, sucking in a huge load of oxygen like someone just pulled me out of a pool where I was drowning.
Calm down. Reverse count from ten.
Ten...
He wasn't even awake. He won't know a thing.
Nine...
You won't turn back and look at his almost naked form.
Eight...
Go to the bathroom and hide yourself.
Seven...
I didn't.
Six...
Alright, it was working. You're doing amazing.
Five...
But I can still take a brief look at him. I mean, it isn't an everyday thing to wake up to a man like... this man.
