Maja thought of the blister on his finger and quickly stood up.
"Do you still have the burn ointment I gave you?"
Ian opened a nearby drawer and took out the ointment.
Maja opened the tube, using the light from the bedside lamp, she took his hand and gently applied the ointment.
While she was rubbing the ointment, Ian watched her. From his perspective, he could see the back of her neck, her nightgown hanging low, revealing a large area of skin marked with traces of their earlier passion.
Now as she applied the ointment, her head was bowed. She was holding his finger carefully.
Ian leaned in closer, taking in her scent.
When she finished applying the ointment, Maja looked up at him.
"Are we in big trouble now?"
He nodded, his features still sharp. He cupped her face and gently pecked at her lips.
"Eric," Before she could finish, a jolt of pain shot through her lips.
Ian instantly pushed her down.
"Dylan's teamed up with him. He wants the Raymond Corporation, and he wants you."
Maja looked at him, her heart pounding, "And what about you?"
He slowly leaned in, gently kissing her neck, "I only want you."
He didn't want the Raymond Corporation.
At this moment, Maja felt a pang of self-hate for her helplessness, her eyes instantly welling up.
She slowly wrapped her arms around Ian's neck, burying her head in his chest.
Ian was momentarily taken aback, after a minute of silence he asked, "Are we back together now?"
Maja didn't say anything. He began to undress her.
"There's still time."
"No, um."
By the time they finished, it was six in the morning.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
