"Okay." That was all Luke said before he held her even tighter in his arm.

Luca was awake now, and she opened her eyes a little. Her vision had adapted to the darkness, so she pressed her face against his chest and asked, “What did Nina say?"

“When she was waiting for me downstairs, she asked me if you had another identity." Luke gently caressed Luca's back, and shivers went down her spine as his touch got increasingly sensual.

Luca was half-asleep, so she did not notice the changes in Luke's movements. Instead, she frowned and said, "I'll tell her next time. The fewer the people who know about me, the better."

"Sure," Luke said absent-mindedly.

Luca finally realized what he was doing, so she turned to the side and said, "It's late."

"We have to hurry, then," said Luke. Although he would be disrupting her sleep, his desires made it impossible for him to just sleep next to her like a gentleman.

As he said that, he leaned forward as things got heated up.

The next day, Luca was exhausted when she got out of bed. She bit her lip at the thought of Luke tiring her out last night even though he said that he would control himself.

It was like he was making up for the night Rainie had slept in their bed...

Thoughts of last night made Luca's face go red. After touching her face, she stood up and felt the soreness from her waist all the way to her limbs.

Luca frowned as she stretched by the bed. After loosening up her muscles, she washed up and put on her work attire before walking out the door.

As she expected, Luke was working in the opposite room.

Then, their eyes met as if they had just read each other's minds.

Although he had given up on sleep last night, he was still in high spirits today. Then, he smiled. "Good morning."

"Good morning." Once again, Luca was reminded of what happened the night before.
