Chapter 78

Chapter 78
The air in the room was warm, but in Elena and Nathan's chests, a bigger fire was already burning.

They were still lying down, their breathing not quite back to normal.

Nathan caressed Elena's cheek with the back of his finger, a small smile perched on the corner of his lips.

"Elena... thank you," he whispered, as if still unable to believe the woman in front of him was truly his tonight.

Elena closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the caress. "I can't believe we're finally here either," she murmured.

Nathan chuckled, then leaned down to kiss Elena gently on the forehead. "And I'll never let you go."

They stared at each other for a few moments, then, as if there was something he didn’t want to let go of, Nathan got up from the bed and tugged on Elena's hand.

"Where are you going?" asked Elena, her voice hoarse and spoiled.

Nathan smiled mysteriously. "Just come along."

Nervously, Elena shook her head but followed Nathan into the bathroom.

Nathan turned on the shower, letting the warm water begin to flow, creating a light mist in the air.

Wordlessly, Nathan pulled Elena under the water. Elena's hair was instantly wet, sticking to her face and neck. She chuckled, rubbing her eyes from the splashing water.

Nathan stood behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist.

Slowly, he kissed the back of Elena's neck, making her shudder from the simultaneous sensations of cold from the water and heat from Nathan's lips.

"Elena..." murmured Nathan as he gently kissed her shoulder.

"Hmm?" replied Elena in a low voice, half-sighing.

Nathan traced Elena's back with his tongue, following the curves of her body.

A small sigh escaped Elena's lips, her body reflexively leaning against Nathan, seeking more.

Nathan smiled a little at the reaction. Both of his hands came up slowly, touching and gently squeezing Elena's breasts from behind, making Elena's breath come in small gasps.

Elena bit her lower lip, trying to stifle the sound, but failed. She turned around, looking at Nathan with sparkling eyes.

"Wicked..." she whispered seductively.

Nathan raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know. "Why?"

Elena didn't answer. She pulled Nathan's face toward her, then kissed him deeply on the lips. Their kiss became even hotter, soaked by the shower water that kept flowing over their heads.

Not content with just that, Elena began to lower her kisses to Nathan's neck, exploring the man's skin with her tongue and lips. Nathan sighed softly, letting Elena explore.

Elena kissed Nathan's muscular chest, her fingers tracing the man's taut, warm muscles. Each of Elena's touches made Nathan sigh heavily, his body stiffening from the effects of the woman who was now no longer shy.

Nathan lifted Elena's face, looking at her deeply. "I think I'm going to get addicted to you."

Elena chuckled, her eyes flashing mischievously. "Good. Because I don't want to get away from you either."

They kissed each other again, more greedily, more deeply, as if to emphasize that this night belonged only to them.

Nathan guided Elena to the wall, hugging her wet body tightly to his own. His kisses went down her shoulders, then along her neck, making her close her eyes and moan softly.

"Elena... you're so sweet," Nathan murmured as he kissed the woman's smooth skin.

"Elena..." Nathan whispered again, his tone heavy with desire.

"Yes?" she replied with a choked breath.

Nathan rested his forehead against hers, breathing deeply as if to gather his control.

"I'll never get tired of you..."

Elena replied by pecking the corner of Nathan's lips. "Me too. Don't ever leave."

Nathan nodded, locking Elena's gaze. "Never. I'm yours forever, my Queen."

Under the warm water, two long-lonely hearts were finally truly joined, with no lingering doubts.

There was only love, gratitude, and silent promises written in their every touch that night.

They were never satisfied. Not that night, and prob
ably never will be.

Because this kind of love... is endless.
