Chapter 448

After a night of pleasure, Maeve woke to the morning sun streaming through the windows. She felt groggy and sore all over. Her legs were even numb from the night’s activities.

Zion had promised to be gentle, but his actions had said otherwise. They’d had sex three times, and if he hadn’t been concerned about her pain, he might have demanded more.

Reflecting on last night’s events, Maeve buried herself under the covers, She was embarrassed by her boldness in letting Zion stayover and being so forward.

How had she let things escalate like that? Had she initiated it?

Unable to face Zion in her current state, Maeve hesitated to get up. Then, she heard his deep voice broke the morning silence. “Time for lunch.”

After the long night that stretched until dawn, Maeve found it difficult to admit she couldn’t get out of bed.
