Chapter 423 I've Missed You, Lucas

As she spoke, her hand beneath her grasped the hem of Lucas’s shirt.

The fabric tugged at Lucas lightly, prompting him to look at her fingers on his attire.

His dark eyes flickered. In an instant, he withdrew his gaze and shifted it to her round eyes. His

Adam’s apple rolled slightly as he restrained himself, “Sure.”

Marion’s face flushed hotly, but the longing in her heart was insatiable. Tentatively, she reached out

and grabbed onto his shirt.

She bit her lips then put her hand over his waist, she reached around to his back and buried her

head

in his chest.

The familiar scent of cedarwood filled her nostrils. Due to their extrproximity, the scent was

much clearer than usual. Joy filled her heart as she breathed him in.

Marion nudged him slightly, “I've missed you so much, Lucas.”

Lucas heard her muffled words and his heart beat faster.

Marion, nestled in his arms, rubbed against him completely unaware of any danger.

Lucas chuckled silently, suppressing the surging desire, and reached his hand through the back of her neck,

pulling her closer into his embrace, “Funny, I've missed you too.”

Marion gave one final nudge and looked at him, “I mean it.”

It was not just to appease him; she genuinely meant it. Although she was not sure why, she just missed him. She

wanted to hold him. Well, she even wanted to kiss him.

Marion realized that she also had romantic desires for Lucas. The thought made her feel guilty, and she almost

looked away.

“I mean it too.’

He did not just simply miss her, he knew.

Lucas was never a passionate person when it cto emotions. Almost everything that had happened between

him and Marion so far was initiated by him. She had the desire but lacked the courage.

But sometimes, her courage was much greater than he imagined.

Just like now, after a brief separation, their already passionate feelings intensified even more.

With Marion holding him the way she was and saying she missed him felt like a silent seduction on her part.

Uncontrolled emotions were tearing at his rationality. Lucas remained motionless for a moment, as he looked at

her with undisguised desire.

Marion’s breath quickened under his gaze.

Neither of them spoke.

In the brief silence, it was ultimately Lucas’s rationality that prevailed. He lowered his head and

kissed her on the forehead, “I hope you can just hugnext time, without asking first.”

With a soft chuckle, he said, “And, I’ve missed you more than you can imagine.”

Then he lightly patted her head, “Go to sleep. Otherwise, I'll have to show you just how much | miss

you.”

Naive and inexperienced as she was, she did not miss the meaning in Lucas’s words.

Yet, the physical contact against her body was even more direct.
