The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas stood up immediately, his body casting a shadow over Melody.
"Take off your coat. Let me see if there's any injury," said Lucas with a pure and unwavering gaze.
Melody blushed instantly. "Uh, no need for that. I'm totally fine..."
Lucas looked at her with a hint of disbelief as he knew how strong-willed she could be. He had seen the kind of people her parents were.
Growing up in such a family, Melody had learned to hide all her pain as even getting hurt was seen as a nuisance by them.
This made Lucas feel even more concerned.
"Listen to me." Lucas' hand rested on Melody's shoulder, his tone gentler than usual but still assertive. His actions were firm, leaving no room for opposition. Melody continued to resist him, anxious to the point where her neck turned red.
"No, it's okay. I'm not injured. I already explained in the car, didn't I? I managed to divert the three thug's attention with money when they were about to attack me. To get the remaining money, they didn't even touch a hair on me after that."
Melody's eyes widened. She wished she could jump a few times in front of him to prove she was not injured.
"They couldn't have been gentle when they tied you up. Maybe you got hurt on your back, and you haven't noticed it yourself. Let me take a look!" Lucas' hand did not loosen; he insisted on checking. Melody's face turned so red, it seemed like blood could drip from it.
'We're not even real husband and wife, so what gives him the right to take off my clothes?' thought Melody.
Even though Lucas only intended to remove her jacket, she was wearing nothing but a camisole underneath. Melody shook her head vigorously. "Really, it's not necessary. I'm not hurt anywhere."
Lucas frowned slightly, unable to understand why Melody was so insistent.
He was not the kind of man who would take advantage of the situation, so why did she distrust him so much?
"Do you think I'd take advantage of you?" He frowned, displeased with her assumption.
"What? Where did you get that idea? Of course not. I know you're not that kind of person!"
Melody had not expected Lucas to interpret it that way. How did her shyness turn into a fear of him taking advantage of her?
"What else do you have to worry about, then?"

"I still need to check your back," Lucas rasped.
The two stood very close together. Melody's subtle fragrance permeated the air
and reached Lucas' nostrils.
"What perfume do you usually use?" Lucas could not help but ask.

strangely. "I use the same bath
