The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 372

Chapter 372 Teasing And Then Fleeing

A sudden warmth instantly enveloped her, making the familiar woody fragrance incredibly clear and intimate. Marion instinctively closed her eyes, and without sight, the sensation became much more

heightened.

The kisses were fervent, and as his soft lips left hers and lingered for a few seconds before moving elsewhere, Lucas’s warm breath traced over her forehead, nose, and cheeks.

The moist sensations sent shivers down her slender neck, and she began to feel uneasy. In a rare moment of clarity, she raised her hand and pushed him lightly, “Lucas…”

He lifted his head, and in his dark eyes, the desire had yet to fully subside, openly lingering beneath the surface. Marion’s heart trembled, her eyes glistening with tears, “I’m sorry, I’m not ready!”

With a tremulous voice that sounded more like a seduction than an apology, Lucas watched her

tearful eyes, closed his own, leaned back, and pressed her into his embrace.

In the dim light, the veins on his forehead were visible, evidence of the emotions he reigned in.

Marion lay on top of him, overwhelmed with a sense of retreat, far from the self–assured posture she

had moments ago.

No one spoke, and the crackling air in the room gradually settled. After a while, Lucas sighed, ” Impressive.”

Teasing and then fleeing. That seemed to be her pattern. As he spoke, he could not help but chuckle, thinking about how she had touched him earlier.

The deep laughter echoed in her ears, leaving Marion feeling uncertain. What had she done wrong? She had only just touched him.

Of course, she did not dare say that to Lucas. After a brief silence, Lucas patted her waist, “Go take a

shower.”

Marion looked up at him, and those dark eyes had returned to their clarity as if the earlier passion and enchantment were just her imagination.

She did not move, tightening the hand around her waist, hesitant to look at him. She asked softly,” Can I hug you a little longer?”

It felt good to have him hold her. It would be even more pleasant in the winter, would it not?

Marion was already looking forward to the arrival of winter.

Lucas was silent for a moment. “As long as you want to.”

As Marion continued hugging him, she started to feel sleepy. Lucas’s embrace was like a warm and comfortable cradle, providing her with a deep sense of security.

Amid her drowsiness, Marion was suddenly awakened by a familiar warmth. Her expression changed

abruptly, and she quickly released Lucas’s hand, saying, “I’m going to take a shower!”

Oh no,

her period had arrived unexpectedly! However, she was a step too late.

Lucas’s arms were still around her, preventing her from an easy escape.

The first day of her period always arrived in grand fashion, and now it was summer, and she was wearing a dress…

Marion stiffened, sitting rigidly on Lucas’s lap, unsure how to handle the situation. She regretted it. She should not have been so reckless. With recklessness, trouble always ensued.

Observing her sudden stillness after her previous attempts to get up, Lucas thought she might have pulled something. “Did you hurt your back?”

Marion glanced at him and bit her lip. Her face turned red and in the next second, she was on the verge of tears. “My period came!”

Lucas, not having much experience with women, seemed slightly confused. “Well, it came. Let’s go get you changed. How…is it?”

Marion looked at him, a look of despair on her face. “Very heavy flow.”

It was a heavy flow indeed, like a turbulent river in her uterus.
