As night descended, a gentle chill permeated the air.

While the rest of the Morrisons retired to their rooms, Mila and Nathan emerged from their sanctuary.

Following a long session of intimacy, Mila found herself weakened by hunger.

Seated across from each other, Mila and Nathan exchanged affectionate glances, tinged with a hint of shyness.

"But what about Fenna's pos-"
