Of course Seivarden noticed Rosa's reaction. It made her feel smug, but she managed not to let that show. Instead she tossed the first glove aside, removed the second one a little quicker but with no less care, and placed a hand on Rosa's belly and ran it up along her chest, over one breast, and then reaching up to place her fingertips on her lips.

There was no way she could keep thinking about being smug while doing that. Bare skin against her bare hands and seeing Rosa shirtless in front of her made her breathe hard and shallow. Without even noticing she pushed herself closer between Rosa's legs, looking up at her.
