protectively cradling her head and back as they fell on the carpet.

he said deliberately, his warm breath tickling her ear as he took in her sweet scent.

change, remember?”

With a hint of annoyance in her voice, she scolded, “Don’t think I haven’t noticed your rush to recover.
You just want to stand on your feet early so that you can uncover my secret. The process of
physiotherapy can’t be rushed. You need to take it slow and find a professional to help you. Don’t act
impulsively again. Otherwise, you would get hurt…”

strength and soon found herself fully yielding to the moment.

were consumed by an intimate passion.

at the door, his hand covering his eyes in embarrassment.
