Marion had never felt a man’s desire so directly before.

She was stiff all over and did not dare to move.

The room was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing, and the distinct woody scent that engulfed her was a constant reminder of the situation she was in.

Marion stiffened. “Did I wake you up?” she asked, but there was no response.

Lucas was still asleep.
