Chapter 85 You're So Kind

• Released from his hold, Allacia panted softly, her breath coming in shallow bursts. Her cheeks were flushed, a deep red spreading across her face as she looked at the man standing before her. Her clothing, already disheveled, had been tugged and pulled until it was nearly undone. Despite this, she hadn't resisted, not even once.
• As she made the decision to rise and head to the bathroom, she found that her legs had gone weak, trembling beneath her with the effort. There was no strength left in her limbs.
• Zishan seemed to notice her struggle. His eyes softened as he took in her state and a tender, indulgent smile played on his lips. Without a word, he rose and moved closer, his movements smooth and sure. In one swift motion, he scooped her up into his arms and cradled her against his chest as if she were the most precious thing in the world.
