“Are you done?” He knocked on the door. The water running inside stopped.

“I can come in and help you…”

“No need!” Cordelia cried, “I can handle it!”

Marcus paused with a small smile. The sound of the running water tickled his heart. Once he thought of Cordelia’s plastered leg and that she had to struggle alone in the slippery bathtub as well as watch out for the tiled floor, he frowned. He should better go in!

It was not to take advantage of the girl. He was preventing her from falling. With such thoughts, Marcus pushed the door open only to see Cordelia getting out of the bathtub when he looked up…

Her skin was smooth and supple. She was gorgeous getting out of the bathtub and wearing nothing. Marcus gulped, feeling parched. He felt like his blood had all rushed up to his head!

Cordelia was surprised. Because of her leg cast that could not get wet, her leg had been stretched out of the bathtub. Now that she had to get out of it…

“Ah!” she cried and flushed nervously in embarrassment. As her foot slipped, she fell toward the tiled floor. She did not land on the floor, though, as she fell securely into a warm chest.

Marcus grabbed the towel to cover her up, but his hand hovered in the air. The scene presented before him was giving him feelings…

What should have happened on their wedding night had been postponed until almost half a year now! He had not been intimate with her back then because they were basically strangers living under the same roof. They naturally needed some time to get used to it.

Now, however…

“S-Stop looking!” Cordelia shyly turned her face away.

“Mm, I won’t look.” Marcus chuckled, his husky tone tinged with lust. He bent to carry her up.

Cordelia’s mind went blank. When she reacted again, Marcus was already placing her carefully on the bed.

The man got up on top of her after that. There seemed to be two burning flames in his deep eyes.

Cordelia’s breathing quickened. She felt his scattered kisses, gentle and cherishing her.
