The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 424 I’ll Keep You Company for a While

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.

After what felt like an eternity, Marion started to feel a bit numb in her hands.

She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully pulled herself out of Lucas’s embrace.

Knowing he was a light sleeper, she did not want to risk waking him up.

Once free of his embrace, she lay still for a while before daring to adjust her sleeping position.

Just as she settled herself, she felt a hand grasp her waist.

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

Lucas was still asleep.

Marion felt awkward and glanced in the direction of the dressing table.
