Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Taking a couple of steps, Marcus bent slightly, allowing Millie to climb onto his back.

“What?” “Just as you said, ‘how could I refuse to carry you?'”

Millie’s tone was tinged with displeasure. She wasn’t unreasonable. If Marcus truly didn’t want to carry her, she would walk without complaint.

As soon as Millie finished her question, Marcus’ laughter filled the air.

“I’m afraid if I don’t carry you now, you might be reluctant to let me later.”
