I did my makeup perfectly and slipped into a black strapless bodycon dress with sheer black stockings and silver heels. The outfit showed off my tall, curvy figure beautifully.

The moment I stepped on the bus, every guy's casual glance turned into a lingering stare they couldn't tear away.

I looked smoking hot, if I do say so myself.

Inside, I was eating up the attention, but I kept my poker face and squeezed into the most crowded part of the bus, just like always.

Once I found my spot, I was surrounded by men on all sides. They were so close I could feel their warm breath on my face, and their eyes kept wandering over my body.

With their heated gazes just inches away, I had to look down - feeling both shy and thrilled at the same time.

My mind started racing with wild thoughts.

Were they fantasizing about having their way with me?

Would any of them dare to make a move?

My heart was pounding with nervous excitement as the bus pulled away from the curb.

Suddenly, as the bus slammed on its brakes, I made contact with one of the men.

The sudden stop sent me stumbling backward, right into the chest of the guy behind me.

His chest was rock-hard, solid as a wall.

My heart fluttered, and I couldn't help but turn around to look.

He was tall and rugged-looking, with stubble on his face, wearing construction workwear that could barely contain his muscles.

He smelled like pure masculinity mixed with a hint of sweat.

When I looked up at him, he flashed me a confident grin.

I backed away from him with flushed cheeks, mumbled a "thank you," and kept stealing glances at him.

I had to admit - my heart was racing.

Since Ben lost his spark, I'd grown to appreciate how important it was for a man to be strong and fit. This guy behind me? He was exactly my type.

Those solid muscles, that raw strength - he could easily overpower me.

The thought made me weak in the knees.

During the next few bumpy moments, I deliberately let myself fall back against him, wanting to feel those muscles again.

My mind started to wander...

But during a sharp turn, when I fell against him again, something jolted me back to reality.
