Let Me Stay The Night

There was a ladder behind Christina, but there was nothing on either side of the ladder. It happened so suddenly that she couldn’t react in time.

Right as she reflexively held her tummy, someone wrapped an arm around her waist, and she felt a warm and familiar breath on her body.

Just like that, Christina fell into the man’s embrace and she heard the voice she had been missing.
