Marcus choked and pulled Cordelia into his arms. Her waist easily fitted in his hand, so he tilted her chin up with another hand.

As he looked into her eyes, they were clear like pools of spring. Her cherry lips parted slightly like a soundless temptation.

Marcus felt a ball of flame churning within him.

Cordelia avoided his heated gaze as she blushed and panted. She could feel his unusually warm chest, powerful heartbeats, and the oozing manliness… She felt like melting. Before his kiss came, she pushed him away lightly.

“Don’t.” She smiled embarrassedly. “I still have to cook.”

Marcus stopped, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

“Tonight…” Cordelia’s voice was soft and weak. It was a challenge for her to utter that one word as she blushed bright red.

“Don’t sleep on the couch tonight. It’s uncomfortable. Sleep in the room.”

Marcus paused in a daze. This was probably the bravest thing she could say. He held back a chuckle and ran his thumb over her red ear, replying hoarsely, “Okay.”

Marcus entered the bathroom right after dinner. He usually took only ten minutes to take a shower, but he had spent nearly an hour this time.

Cordelia had already cut up some fruits and watched television but still did not see the man coming up. There was only the occasional sound of water running.

Her face heated up, and she went to change into her pajamas. As she sat by the bed anxiously, she had no idea where to place her hands.
