Chapter 409

After what we’d done, Soren suddenly found it easy to help me shower.

I was the one who couldn’t bear to look at him, my mind replaying everything that had happened earlier.

I knew it had been too short. It couldn’t have satisfied him, could it? But he knew my wrists were hurting. It was my first time, and I still had work the next day. Thus, he went back to being Gentleman Soren.

It was only when I was drifting off to sleep, his warm breath brushing past my ear, that I heard him whisper in a low, gravelly voice, “I’ll let you off the hook this time. Wait until we’re back home. You’ll see how I make you pay me back with interest.”

My body melted into the bed.
