"I know you, Lei," Andie says softly. "You wouldn't have stuck this long or made it this far if you haven't developed any feelings—-"
Words fail me, and all I can do is make a blustering sound of protest.
Me?
Really?
How can someone like me have feeling feelings for a guy I've only talked to but haven't met?
Oh, c'mon now!
Andie clears her throat. "Look. You're free to back out if you want, and you won't have to worry about paying any penalties. But can I just tell you something as your friend?"
No.
"I haven't seen you happier than you were the past few days, Lei, and if you push through with your encounter, then you'll have the chance to stay happy, too. Don't you think that's worth taking a risk for?"

Adam straightened to his full height as soon as he heard the door slowly open. A girl stepped inside, and he couldn't help sucking his breath as he finally had his first glimpse of Temptation.
Ah.
He hadn't really allowed himself to imagine what she looked like, but what she turned out to be attracted him.
A lot.
Her hair was a silky shade of brown, long, and slightly wavy. The kind that would make it very easy for him to grip or stroke, depending on the kind of sex they were having.
Her eyes were big and dark, fringed with beautiful long lashes. They were the only thing that her mask didn't hide, but they were more than enough to let him know that Temptation was nervous...and aroused.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Have some fucking control, Adam Al-Masri.
But the warning did nothing to temper the lust that was already surging inside of him, and he could feel his muscles flexing involuntarily under his dark-colored scrubs as his gaze roamed over the rest of her.
She had a tall, slender body that appeared even more sylph-like under the loose fit of her hospital gown. And to say that it was loose was a vast understatement, with the way it dipped so damn low over her chest...it became all too evident she was wearing what seemed like a completely sheer bra underneath.
And then there was its length. Or rather the lack of it, since the hospital gown was so damn short it exposed virtually the entire length of her shapely legs.
If her hospital gown was meant to whet his appetite, it had certainly attained its objective. And whoever had designed such an outfit...was likely the same person responsible for giving Adam scrubs that were a tad size smaller.
He had just noticed Temptation's gaze gobbling him up from across the room, and it was pretty obvious she had noticed the less-than-perfect fit of his scrubs as well. The all-too-tight sleeves made his biceps appear as if they were about to burst out at any second while his pants also looked and felt as if they were in danger of tearing open if his cock so much as twitched.
"Dr. Somebody?"
Adam was impressed that she had found the courage to speak first. She truly was an intriguing combination of shy and bold, and this made him want her even more.
"Hello, Temptation. I'm glad you've found time to see me."
As soon as the words were out, Adam could easily tell that he had done the right thing by continuing to play his role as doctor. Temptation's posture had visibly relaxed, and he knew then she was more likely to bolt if he acted out of character.
"Shall we proceed with the examination?"
He gestured for her to come forward, and Adam clenched his fists to keep himself in check as she slowly crossed the room.
"Sit down please."
Adam made sure his tone remained clinical and his expression impassive.
So far, so fucking good.
But everything went to hell the moment she sat herself down on the edge of the consultation bed. Temptation had to turn slightly sideways as she did, and since her hospital gown was fully open at the back, Adam was able to catch an unexpected eyeful of her ass under the completely transparent fabric of her panties.
Fuuuuuck.
His cock surged up, followed by a noticeably ripping sound.
Adam froze.
Did that just fucking happen?
Both of them looked down at the same moment, and Adam swore when he realized it was exactly what he had feared: his scrub pants had completely split open, which ended up exposing the barest tip of his erection.
"Oh my God!"
Adam couldn't help feeling defensive. The app had explicitly instructed him to ditch his briefs, but he also knew better than to explain himself. Doing so would only remind her of their real-life identities, and since there was no fucking way in hell would he risk anything that would cause his Temptation to leave—-
He met her gaze head on and asked blandly, "Is there something wrong?"

So that's how he's going to play it.
I'm not sure whether to laugh, run away, or drop to my knees in gratitude because...
