Chapter 1367

He wanted to see just how she had been taking care of him while he was unconscious.

As the room darkened, Millie closed the window, leaving a small gap for fresh air.

She then returned to Marcus’s side, checking the IV bag to ensure it wasn’t empty.

She gently touched his forehead and whispered, “Thank goodness! No fever.”

Her gaze then wandered to his handsome face, his well-defined features, and his lips. His lips were

thin, beautifully shaped, sensuous, and alluring.

As she kept staring at his lips, a growing sense of desire emboldened her. She placed her hands on

either side of the pillow, leaned in, and gently planted a kiss on him.

She justified her actions by reasoning that he wouldn’t be aware of her kiss while he was unconscious.

Millie was lost in thought, pondering the softness of the man’s lips and the pleasant sensation of their

kiss.

Caught up in her reflections, Millie suddenly realized the man who was supposed to be unconscious

was actually gazing at her with a pair of deep, dark eyes, observing her every move.

“How are you awake?” she blurted out.

Millie felt a wave of embarrassment as she realized she’d been caught kissing him. Her head began to

move away.

Marcus, however, used his uninjured hand to gently press against the back of her head, drawing her in

for a deeper kiss.

Feeling the force of his press, Millie’s hand, resting on a pillow, formed a tight fist. The strength of his

kiss and her own sense of shame overwhelmed her.

After the kiss, which seemed to linger for ages, Marcus finally let her go, a slight smile playing on his

Lips.

“I can only feel a kiss that’s truly intense.”

Millie’s cheeks turned a rosy hue, resembling someone who had applied a touch of blush.

She couldn’t contain her embarrassment. “You… rogue.”

Marcus raised an eyebrow playfully. “A rogue, perhaps, but then what are you? A daring thief seizing a

kiss from an unconscious man?”

Embarrassed and flustered, Millie, always conscious of her pride, swiftly retorted, “No! I was merely

curious about the warmth of your lips. Don’t read too much into it. The doctor said you’d be

unconscious for three days. Why are you awake so soon?”

Now, she began to question her memory. Had the doctor mentioned three hours instead of three days?

Could she have confused the two?

She was mortified that her impulsive act of kissing him had been witnessed.

Observing Millie’s vexed and bewildered expression, Marcus couldn’t suppress a chuckle. He found her

excuse about testing his temperature amusing and clever.

Gently, Marcus reached out, taking her hand and soothing her tense palm.

“Don’t be bashful. As my woman, you’re free to touch and kiss me as you please. In marriage, we

should be candid and transparent with our desires. If there’s something you want to do, just go ahead,”

he said with a mischievous grin.
