Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora woke up feeling light-headed.

The events of the previous night were a haze. Her body, soft and pliable, had surrendered to him completely. Now, every part of her ached.

"I was happy yesterday... Oh no! I forgot to send Ashy off!" Aurora suddenly remembered.

"Don't worry. After breakfast, I took him to the airport myself. He knows how you are and would never blame you." Julian's hands moved to massage her temples.

Aurora closed her eyes, enjoying his care. "Julian, why were you so... intense last night?"
