“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.

Ian leaned in closer, taking in her scent.
