บท 357: And You’re Mine

Alexander stared at the ceiling, his thoughts a chaotic mix of desire and restraint. Sharing a bed with Rain was becoming increasingly challenging, especially with how effortlessly she drew his attention.

"Not yet," he replied, his tone low as he tried to keep his emotions in check.

She shifted closer, and he felt her warmth radiate against him. His body stiffened involuntarily as she nudged closer, her presence dismantling the walls he had so carefully built. Turning to face her, he saw her smile… a gentle, inviting curve that tugged at something deep within him.
