The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 519

Anastasia and Herman stepped into their apartment, their little secret hideaway where joy and love flourished without limits. As soon as the door clicked shut, Anastasia shrugged off her coat, and they fell into a fervent embrace, their kisses mapping a fiery path from the living room to the bedroom, and finally the bathroom. Every spot became a playground of their passion.

The shower sprayed, water droplets dancing wildly, mirroring the whirlwind of their emotions and desires. Herman’s eyes were ablaze as he admired her smooth, curvaceous figure. “Baby,” he murmured, using a term of endearment he reserved for moments like these. His voice, deep and magnetic, carried a seductive undertone that left her powerless.

Clinging to his arms, Anastasia lost herself in the ecstasy he brought. With him, all her pains and worries faded away. He was her remedy. And wasn’t she his, just the same?

Afterward, spent and content, she collapsed onto him, her eyes barely open. “Pattie’s been asking about you. When will you take her out for some fun?”

He absently twirled her damp hair, his voice a comforting murmur, “Once this busy spell is over, I’ll take my girls out for a nice break.”

“Okay,” Anastasia replied, lifting her heavy eyelids to gaze tenderly at the scar on his chest. Her fingers traced the fresh pink marks. “Herman, promise me, no more hurting yourself. If you ever risk your life again, I’m done.”

He smiled gently. “I promise,” he said, kissing her forehead. “Now get some rest. I’ve got to head to New York tomorrow.”

“Is it about that factory incident? Someone’s really targeting Elysian Technologies?”

He reassured her with his warm tone, “Business is a battlefield, and Elysian is prime real estate. Lots of folks want a piece. But trust me, I’ve got it under control.”

“How long will you be gone?” she asked, nestling against him.
