Chapter 1294:

After two relentless hours in the bathroom, Cliff finally granted her respite, his sanity returning as he unwound the silk ribbons from her trembling form. He had chosen genuine silk for its decadent softness, determined to protect her delicate skin. Yet, her fragility, combined with his unrestrained passion, had left crimson marks across her flesh.

With reverent gentleness, Cliff pressed his lips to each tender mark before carrying her to the waiting bed.

Laney, believing the storm had passed, finally allowed her tears to flow freely.

Understanding her tendency toward tears, Cliff deftly brushed them away, murmuring, “Conserve your strength. We’re far from finished.”

His words sent shivers down Laney’s spine, her body trembling uncontrollably.

“No,” she whispered, her voice barely audible, but Cliff, his eyes blazing with desire, silenced her with an unforgiving kiss.

Though tears streamed down Laney’s cheeks, resistance had long abandoned her, leaving her entirely at his mercy.

Laney slept until the following afternoon, exhaustion claiming her completely.
