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.

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