Chapter 48: Eve’s Soft Call

🔞

Was there no room for deeper connection or fulfillment?

— Eve

==============================

Not giving up, her slender arms slipped into Xander's shirt collar, while her lips trailed along his cheek.

She even pressed her breasts against his muscular arm. The thin fabric did little to obstruct the softness and warmth of Eve's skin.

"My work is still plentiful, so I'll make it quick," Xander said without emotional fluctuation.

Eve fell silent as her body was lifted and carried into the master bedroom.

This was how Xander had always taken her.

No sweet words, not many words at all.

It was quite disappointing.

In the master bedroom, the air was heavy with anticipation and tension. Eve's heart raced, and her mind whirled with a mixture of desire and frustration. Xander's words had been devoid of passion, his actions cold and mechanical.
