“My leg… still hurts a little.

As he spoke, Marcus cautiously reached out and lightly hooked his finger around Emma’s clothing. Without the slightest hesitation,

he exposed his neck and the alluring ribbon tied around it, leaving both completely visible before her eyes.

“Don’t send me back to my room… Stay with me for a little while longer, alright?”

“Okay.”

Emma could not bring herself to refuse him. Not when he was injured and clearly needed someone by his side.

“You can stay here tonight. Didn’t you mention yesterday that you had a gift for me?

“When you’re feeling better, you can show it to me.”

Emma gently pulled the blanket over Marcus, making sure he was comfortable.

His wolf tail immediately curled around her waist, but it remained careful and restrained, as though he was afraid even the slightest pressure might hurt her.

Marcus slowly sat up, causing the blanket to slip down over his defined abs. His slightly pale lips brushed lightly against Emma’s

ear.

“Ms. Tibarn… I feel a little hot.”

His low, slightly hoarse voice brushed against her ears like a feather drifting across the deepest corner of her heart, sending an indescribable shiver through Emma.

Her heartbeat faltered. “Hot?”

She raised her hand and placed it against Marcus’ chest. The warmth beneath her palm was indeed slightly higher than usual.

Marcus covered her hand with his own and guided it gently toward his collarbone, where the pink ribbon around his neck rested.

The ribbon felt cool against his heated skin, creating a striking contrast.

“Ms. Tibarn, help me…”

He guided her fingers toward the knot.

“Ms. Tibarn, loosen it a little… It feels uncomfortable.”

The ribbon was actually tied quite loosely, yet Marcus tilted his head back slightly, his Adam’s apple shifting restlessly beneath Emma’s fingertips. A faint haze clouded his silver-gray eyes, giving them an almost dazed and vulnerable look.

Emma’s heart softened. With a slight movement of her fingers, she gently loosened the pink ribbon around Marcus’ neck, following his request.

Freed from the ribbon’s restraint, Marcus’ long, fair neck and delicate collarbones were fully revealed before Emma, leaving him completely unguarded in her sight.

As the ribbon fell away, Marcus gently took her hand and rested it against his cheek, seeking comfort from her warmth.

“Ms. Tibarn…”

“I’m here.”

Her voice came out softer than she expected.

“Does that feel better now?”

“A little… but not completely.”

Marcus leaned closer, his hoarse voice whispering softly beside Emma’s ear. Behind him, his wolf tail quietly curled around her waist, its faint warmth and soft fur brushing against her as it gently but possessively drew her closer into his embrace.

“My leg doesn’t hurt as much anymore… but I still feel strange.”

Even while injured, Marcus’ high-tier therian instincts remained impossible to hide.

Careful to avoid putting pressure on his injured leg, Marcus wrapped both hands around Emma’s slender waist. With a gentle pull, he drew her closer and settled her onto him.

“Marcus, you’re injured…”

Before Emma could finish her warning, Marcus gently silenced her with a kiss.

“I’m fine.”

This time, his affection was not hesitant or uncertain. It carried all the emotions he had been holding back-longing, gratitude, and a deep desire to stay close to her.

His fingers gently threaded through Emma’s hair, holding her close with a tenderness he could no longer hide. He kissed her with a deep affection, savoring the unique warmth that belonged only to her.

The fallen blanket gathered beside them, and the warmth between them quietly intensified.

“Mm…”

Emma’s breathing instantly became unsteady. Beneath her palm, Marcus’ muscles were tense and solid, radiating a warmth that

made her heart race.

The wolf tail wrapped around her lower back held her securely in place. All she could hear was Marcus’ deep, uneven breathing beside her, along with the trembling wolf ears above his head, revealing emotions he could no longer conceal.

Marcus followed the curve of Emma’s lips, leaving gentle kisses along her cheek and down to her neck before finally pausing near

her delicate collarbone.

“Ms. Tibarn… give me…”

Emma was gradually overwhelmed by Marcus’ tenderness, her eyes turning slightly red as her composure completely gave way beneath his warmth and captivating presence.

She had never been someone who willingly forced herself to endure discomfort, after all.

Emma wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers running gently through his silver-gray hair.

“Be careful… Don’t hurt yourself

The moment Marcus heard her concern, bis silver-gray eyes brightened.

A delicate fragrance quietly spread throughout the bedroom.

Marcus fought hard to maintain his composure, blending his tenderness and instinctive intensity into every moment they shared.

Amid the shifting sheets, his tall, scarred figure remained close to Emma’s smaller frame, their presence intertwined in perfect harmony.

His white wolf tail slowly curled around them, creating a quiet sense of warmth and security.

Only after a long while did the overwhelming emotions gradually settle into calm.

The air was filled with the faint scent of heather flowers, mingling with Marcus’ uniquely cool and familiar aura.

Exhausted, Emma rested against Marcus’ chest, her cheeks slightly flushed as she tried to steady her breathing.

Marcus held her securely. His once-proud wolf tail now curled around them comfortably, creating a private shelter of warmth and safety.

He gently brushed away the damp strands of hair from Emma’s forehead. His wolf ears twitched with quiet happiness, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

“Ms. Tibarn…”

Marcus rested his chin lightly on her head and let out a soft laugh. His voice was still rough, but his tone was peaceful. “Now… I don’t feel hot anymore.”

Hearing his words, Emma couldn’t help but raise her head and lightly pinch his chest in annoyance.

“You actually have the nerve to say that.”

She shifted slightly, trying to sit up, her eyes filled with concern as they instinctively fell toward Marcus’ injured left leg.

“Just now… we didn’t hurt your leg, did we? Let me check and make sure the wound hasn’t opened again.”
