Millie rushed out, her entire body burning hot like wildfire. Her hand instinctively
reached for her face. What was happening to her?
She pondered what could be amiss. She delicately rubbed her lips with her
fingertips, remembering when her mouth had met that awkward part of his body.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she delivered a light slap to the cheek to
jolt herself back to reality.
Marcus emerged, leaning against her from behind.
“Time to ditch that shy habit of yours. Millie, we've been married for ages now.”
Millie spun around, catching sight of his sculpted washboard stomach, which
instantly ignited her shyness. Yet, when she considered his earlier comment on
her, the urge to place blame on him proved too strong to resist.
“Could you just get dressed? We are still in the honeymoon phase after all.”
Stepping back, Marcus grabbed a towel from the bedside. “Enough of that. Get in
here and hold the shower head. I need to take a shower.”
As Millie’s anger flared, she stamped her feet impatiently. “You still want to
shower? Why on earth? I already warned you about keeping your wound dry.
Can you please stop being so stubborn?”
A mocking voice echoed from the bathroom.
“Yes, I'm aware the wound can't get wet. That's precisely why I called you in to
help me with the shower head.”
Then, the sound of running water reached her ears. Millie fell silent.
She knew that, in time, she'd be fuming with him. Concerned about his wound
getting wet, she hurried into the bathroom and saw his clothes lay discarded on
the marble floor tiles and he had already started showering. Millie seethed with
anger. He was truly digging his own grave by ignoring her advice. With little or no
alternative, she stepped into the spacious tiled cubicle and grabbed the shower
head to lessen the flow of water. She made sure to steer clear of the wound on
his arm. Unwillingly, Millie assisted him in holding the shower head. A sly grin
played on Marcus's lips. He knew she couldn't stay idle. Indeed, he possessed a
myriad of methods to make Millie surrender.
Once he finished showering, Millie discovered herself drenched, although his
wound had remained dry under her meticulous care. Her eyes shot daggers at
him, with a look of pure resentment on her face.
“Looks like I'm the one who took a shower,” she remarked. Drying himself with
slow, deliberate strokes, Marcus wrapped the oversized bath towel around his
trim, bronze waist casually and strolled out of the room.
“Cut the crap. Clean up the mess. I'm all about keeping things clean and tidy.”

With a gentle touch, she applied moisturizer to her hands, looking over at
Marcus. He was cocooned in a quilt, watching TV on the bed.
“Are you finished?” Marcus inquired, casting a glance in her direction.
