Maja thought of the blister on his finger and quickly stood up.

“Do you still have the burn ointment I gave you?”

Ian opened a nearby drawer and took out the ointment.

Maja opened the tube, using the light from the bedside lamp, she took his hand and gently applied the ointment.

While she was rubbing the ointment, Ian watched her. From his perspective, he could see the back of her neck, her nightgown hanging low, revealing a large area of skin marked with traces of their earlier passion.

Now as she applied the ointment, her head was bowed. She was holding his finger carefully.

Ian leaned in closer, taking in her scent.

When she finished applying the ointment, Maja looked up at him.

“Are we in big trouble now?”

He nodded, his features still sharp. He cupped her face and gently pecked at her lips.

“Eric,” Before she could finish, a jolt of pain shot through her lips.

Ian instantly pushed her down.
