Chapter 206

• Even in her intimacy, where she didn't need them, she raised barriers of protection.
• Deep down she knew she wanted much more than something physical with him, but it wasn't possible. She took what he wanted to offer her. If Tina were to hear the raw truth, she would worry and label Milo as immoral and opportunistic. She would confront her to show her how low she was falling. From the outside, it must look that way, she sensed. But she had started to get to know him and knew that behind that cold exterior he was a man who cared about her and her affairs, who could be sweet and gallant, and was also an exceptional lover.
• He had done nothing to deceive her, he had promised her nothing other than sex. And yet, he wanted to give her more. He didn't accept her jewelry or clothes, her offers of work help, all of which there were. Yes, he took all the time and opportunities for encounters that he proposed, enjoying an intimacy that was much more than sex.
