It was two a.m.

Luke ended the international video conference and took a shower in his bedroom's bathroom. Then, he headed to the master bedroom.

It was late at night, and every corner of the villa was silent.

Luke gently pushed the bedroom door open. Luca had left the desk lamp turned on for him.

The dim light lit up the darkness of the night, washing away all his weariness at that moment.

Luke gently got onto the bed and carefully lay down sideways so that he would not press on Luca's hand.

"Mhm, Luke?" Even though Luke had tried his best not to wake her up, Luca still woke up and looked at him drowsily.

“It's me. Go to sleep," Luke replied in a low voice.

Luca subconsciously leaned closer to the heat source and buried her face in Luke's chest.

Luke could feel an uncontrollable desire arousing in him as her soft body leaned closer to him.

He remembered those emotions he had been suppressing.

Luke slipped his arms around Luca's waist and asked in a low voice, "Are you busy tomorrow?"

Luca, who had yet to go back to sleep, heard Luke asking her a question. She opened her eyes slightly and pondered for a moment. Then, she closed her eyes and replied, "No."

"You're not busy, huh..." Luke drawled. He was satisfied with her answer. Then, he turned around and pinned her to the bed.

Luca opened her eyes as her heat source moved from her side to above her. She gave the man in front of her a confused look.

Luke could not bear to see the way she looked at him confusingly and the drowsiness in her eyes. However, the emotions within him urged him.

"Luke, my hand is injured." Luca was completely awake now, and her cheeks began to turn red.

"It's okay. I'll be careful. I won't hurt you." After that, Luke immediately sealed her lips with a kiss to stop her from talking.
