Chapter 38

• She hadn't realized it herself, but indeed, tears had gathered in her eyes. "It's alright," she assured him quietly. "I'm just... happy."
• Ethan took a minute to ensure she was genuinely alright before gently repositioning them so Nathalie was on top. She sensed he wanted to give her control, allowing her to decide whether to continue or stop at any point. With Ethan, intimacy wasn't just a physical act; it was something much deeper. From the very first encounter, Nathalie understood this about him. It was more than just physical; it was an intricate connection she couldn't quite define. All she knew was that she never wanted this feeling to end.
• Shaking off the peculiar tightness in her chest, Nathalie began to move with him. His hands caressed her breasts, teasing her sensitive skin. She instinctively tightened around him, and he responded with a deep, involuntary sound, unable to hold back any longer. He adjusted his hips to intensify the pace, twisting her nipples with a pressure that made her gasp in surprise before it turned into intense pleasure.
