When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 42 A Surprise Visit

Cecilia’s fingers tensed up involuntarily.

Nathaniel could sense her stiffness, and his large hand covered her daintier one. His passionate kiss was both dominant and hurried.

Cecilia kept her back rigid, forcefully repressing the unwanted feelings welling up within her.

Eli and Jon are still waiting for me to go back.

In the end, she decided to go along with his flow. Let’s see if I’ll become pregnant.

As that thought crossed her mind, she clumsily responded to him.

Nathaniel paused briefly, his stern brows quickly relaxing. He unfastened the buttons of his shirt and unbuckled his belt.

Fresh out of the shower, Cecelia’s fresh scent filled the air, seeping into his senses. The rhythm of his heart involuntarily quickened. Unable to contain himself any longer, he gently placed Cecelia onto the living room couch, peeling away her bathrobe.

Cecelia’s fist tightened even more.

She didn’t dare, or perhaps, didn’t want to look at Nathaniel. Instead, she stared at the warm light above her head. Uncontrollably, her mind echoed with countless intimate photos of Nathaniel that Stella had sent her in the past.

The words Stella once uttered echoed in her mind. Did Nathaniel ever tell you that he loved you, Ceci? He used to say that to me all the time.
