Bella smirked. "I already said I was only doing your face. No need to tell me twice," she said, leaning forward to make sure she'd gotten the dirt out of his scruffy beard. "Unless," she said, pulling back to gently smacking the cool rag against his chest, "this is some backwards way of challenging me to do so."
Some ladies might find the dirt-coated look alluring, but Bella was not one of them. Jamie was alluring enough without the dirt, however, that he was not completely repulsive—but still. She dragged the rag up his throat and around his ears, appalled at how much dirt coated his skin. She thought he was a dragon-keeper, not a coal miner!
"Unfortunately, dirt does not accentuate existing features," she said, mindlessly running a hand across his jawline. "It only obscures them." The unspoken words that hung in the air: And I don't like that.
