Chapter 42

When did her hands, which had tightly embraced his body, turn into a gentle draping over his neck? When did his palms start cradling her cheeks? Neither of them understood why this moment had happened.

His hand naturally rested on her hips, and in his forgetfulness, he overlooked the pain in her body. As he applied a bit of pressure, pain shot through her entire being. Suddenly, reason returned to his mind, and the groan of pain brought back his awareness.
