74. Do justice

The sun had not entirely risen in the sky. The birds had only recently departed their nest. The moon had just fallen asleep with a bangle.

The air in the room was frigid and condensed. Jane Dover's throat began to dry up when she saw Darius Simard's full eyes and the sneaky smile. Would he... Truly do it now with her?

"Darius..."

"Say..." Jane Dover's back was rubbed by his gentle and warm palms.

"You..."

"I..." His hand groped for her gown's tie. His voice was seductive and low.

"Do you not want to go anywhere?" She swallowed her terror and asked.

"No..." He chuckled while noticing her panic.

"You will not be pleased with my departure." He undid the knot on her back, and the back was bare. Jane Dover shuddered as soon as Darius touched her naked back.

"I'm not going anyplace today. Today, I'll hold you in my arms." His palms caressed her white back, causing shivers.
