Chapter 45 How Could He Be Gentle And Restrain Himself With Her?

• When Marius entered the room, he struggled to open the doorknob, but what he wouldn't do was let go of Noelia. The young woman had fallen asleep in his arms, and, strange as it seemed, the way Noelia's arms wrapped around his neck, clinging to him, her calm expression and that perfect, natural beauty had amazed him. He didn't want anything to disturb her tranquility.
• He entered the room with the girl in his arms and gently placed her on the bed. It was a shame that she had fallen asleep; he truly desired her, desired her greatly, but there was no rush. It could be the next day or another day. He smiled as he watched her settle into the bed, searching for the best sleeping position. Marius shook his head; he couldn't leave her dressed all night, even though it went against his principles to touch a woman who was unaware of anything.
• "Would it be alright to undress her so she can sleep comfortably?" He wondered to himself and then dismissed the thought as if it were the answer to his own question.
