Having finished the meal, Nathan complied, standing by the bedside and gradually removing each article of clothing he had on.
Soon, he stood naked in front of Lucinda.
Lucinda got up from the bed and walked barefoot on the carpet.
She slowly approached Nathan and closely examined his skin.
Without hesitation, Nathan allowed Lucinda to scrutinize him and stated, âI was truthful about not being injured.
â
Lucinda circled around to Nathanâs back, thoroughly inspecting his well-defined back.
The harsh grazes on Nathanâs back were now forming scabs, indicating that the worst of his pain had subsided.
âLucinda?â Nathan called out.
He realized Lucinda hadnât returned to face him for quite a while, causing a hint of confusion.
Suddenly, he felt the soft touch of her lips on his back muscles.
She ki*sed him with patience and a touch of compassion.
Overwhelmed, Nathan closed his eyes, savoring the depth of her affection for him.

Her tender lips cared for every inch of his back and she went on for a good ten minutes.
Enjoying the experience, Nathan even felt that ten minutes was too short.
After the ki*s, she gently held Nathanâs broad, warm palm from behind and rested her chin on his shoulder.
In a soft voice, she inquired, âDoes it still hurt?â
Nathan shook his head and said truthfully, âAldricâs prescribed anti swelling medicine works wonders.
The pain is minimal.
â
Feeling remorseful, Lucinda apologized, âIâm sorry.
I didnât expect you to be so badly hurt.
â
With a casual smile, Nathan took Lucindaâs hand and placed it over his heart.
âThe physical pain is inconsequential.
Thankfully, my wife hasnât caused any pain to my heart.
â
The thought of divorce due to this incident would truly be agonizing for Nathan.
âBut I donât want to hurt you in any way, physically or emotionally.
I just want to love you and lead a happy and secure life with you and our babies,â Lucinda sighed.
âWe will,â Nathan assured.
Noticing his swift response, Lucinda added with seriousness, âI need to be clear â from now on, you canât let me release my anger by offering your body.
That has to stop.
â
Nathan spun around and gently gripped Lucindaâs shoulders.
âThe surprise Iâve got for you connects to this.
Iâll guide you to it, and we can give it a shot tonight.
â
Lucinda perked up at Nathanâs words.
