Chapter 118

He had kissed her forehead tenderly. "Of course I will. I'll love you until becoming old."

Her body had trembled slightly, her eyes showing a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Nolan's movements had been gentle and slow, as if afraid of hurting her.

His fingers had traced lightly over her skin, feeling her warmth and heartbeat.

Her breathing had quickened, her eyes gradually misting with desire.
