He wanted her to figure out what was right or wrong, learn about things, and decide whether she should do something. By guiding her to make her own choices, he hoped she would grow on her own.
“I’m going to touch you now, okay?” Zinnia put down the strawberry and looked up at him, wanting his okay.
Yannis muttered, “Okay.”
“Can you take off your jacket?” Zinnia asked, looking up at him. “It’s hard to feel anything through the fabric.”
“Should I take off my shirt too?” Yannis chuckled at Zinnia who kept pushing her luck. Even as he teased her, his fingers unbuttoned his jacket, then shrugged it off.
Zinnia shook her head. “No way! Then you’d be naked.”
Zinnia thought to herself, ‘Master said it’s not right to look at a naked man.‘ As clever as always, she chose to do the right thing
Yannis’s smile grew wider. ‘She does have some sense of decency after all,‘ he thought.
Zinnia’s hand rested on Yannis’s waist, her fingers moving over his silky black dress shirt. “There’s something hard here,” she whispered, curious.
Zinnia looked at Yannis with wide eyes. His stomach had firm, springy muscles. She couldn’t resist and poked them twice.
“That’s called abs,” Yannis said, amused by her. She was clueless about simple things.
He thought, ‘How did Nathan raise her? She has almost no boundaries with guys. Luckily she met me. If it was anyone else, she’d be taken advantage of.
“Abs? How many do you have?” Zinnia asked curiously. “I’ve heard Maisie talk about them before. Maisie says a guy needs eight–pack abs.”
“Want to count them yourself?” Yannis asked, smiling amused at her.
“Okay!” Zinnia said eagerly and reached out to count his abs with her fingers, one by one.
Yannis immediately regretted it. He looked at her hand on his waist. Her face was so delicate, and her long lashes lowered in focus. He could feel her gaze burning into his waist.
When her eyes traced over him, a warm feeling spread under his skin, making his eyelashes flutter slightly.
He watched her fingers carefully measuring his waist. In the quiet room, he felt her fingers slowly move across his skin.
Finally, after tracing his abs, her hand moved to his lower back. He felt her soft fingertips press on his spine, and a tingling feeling shot up inside him, spreading through his whole body.
The faint smile on Yannis’s lips faded, and his fingers clenched involuntarily.
“Wow, eight–pack!” Zinnia’s eyes lit up, still tracing the ridges she’d just counted.
When she pulled back her hand, Yannis took a quiet breath. He knew that by letting her do this, she was happy–but he was also torturing himself.
Yannis had no hidden plans. He just knew how sensitive his waist was. Every touch felt like tiny ants crawling under his clothes.
“Zinnia, you must never do this with other guys, okay? They’re not me. They might try to take advantage of you,” Yannis warned softly.
Yannis suddenly felt worried. After spending time with her, he saw she probably grew up in a simple, sheltered world, with little defense against others, and no real sense of boundaries with men and women.
“I’ve only ever touched yours, Yannis,” Zinnia said sweetly, with innocent happiness.

Hearing that, Yannis felt a small happy feeling. She really knew how to sweet talk him. Watching her bright smile, he thought, ‘She’s so easy to please
But Yannis’s happiness only lasted a few seconds before his smile froze.
“Yannis, when you die someday, can I have your ribs?” Zinnia looked up at him, her eyes shining with real excitement.
She couldn’t help but think how perfect his ribs were. They would make a beautiful display. Looking at him with shining eyes, she said, “Your ribs are so lovely. They’d be perfect for my collection.”
