Did Nathan believe what he had said?
Why hadnât Nathan come to see him after locking him up for two days?
Did Norton tell Nathan the truth?
But it seemed unlikely that Norton would have disclosed such information!
Mylo leaned against the cold wall, his eyes narrowed in frustration.
Sleep eluded him as unanswered questions whirled relentlessly through his mind.
He drew deep drags from his cigarette, exhaling occasional smoke rings into the stagnant air.
Yet, even the taste lingering in his mouth was bitter, failing to distract him from the tumult of thoughts racing through his mind.
Perhaps he should demand a conversation with Nathan tomorrow.
The next morning, in the tranquil garden of N&L Fairy Land, birdsong filled the air as the morning sun cast gentle rays through the sheer curtains, painting the master bedroom with a warm, golden hue.
As Lucinda stirred from her slumber, she realized she was nestled against Nathanâs chest, his strong arm cradling her tenderly in a protective embrace.
Surprisingly, she was refreshed and free from any lingering fatigue or illness.
Lucindaâs astonishment was palpable as she gently brushed the tip of Nathanâs nose, rousing him from his sleep.
âDarling, did I have a relapse last night?â she inquired.
Nathanâs long lashes fluttered slightly as he gradually blinked his eyes open.
A faint haze lingered in his dark gaze, suggesting he was still in a daze.
He murmured, âIâm so tired.
I wonât fully wake up until you ki*s me.
â
Lucinda gazed at him incredulously as he requested a ki*s.
Instead of obliging, she playfully flicked his forehead.
âIâm serious.
Itâs pointless to behave like a spoiled child.
â
âOuch!â
A frown etched across Nathanâs features as he rubbed his forehead, a wave of displeasure coursing through him.
Deprived of the ki*s he sought and instead met with a flick from his wife, Nathanâs frustration simmered.
âHoney, you are bullying me.
â
In the blink of an eye, Nathan transformed into a mischievous wolf, playfully rolling over and pouncing on Lucinda, enfolding her in his embrace.
âIf you wonât ki*s me, Iâll just have to do it myself.
â
With unrestrained passion, Nathan lowered his lips and peppered Lucindaâs body with fervent ki*ses, each touch filled with adoration and Longing.
Nathan embodied the primal essence of a fierce beast, fiercely marking his territory with each tender caress and ki*s.
