Chapter 39: CUT SHORT
The world had melted into a puddle of honeyed warmth. Katrina lay nestled against David, their bodies slick with sweat, a testament to the storm that had just passed.

In this quiet aftermath, the frantic rhythm of their hearts gradually slowed, replaced by a contented lull. Each breath felt like a shared secret, a sigh of contentment escaping Katrina's lips as she burrowed deeper into his embrace.David's voice, a husky whisper against her ear, shattered the peaceful aftermath. "Did you enjoy the massage, Miss Katrina?"Katrina, still reeling from the electrifying dance they'd just shared, could only manage a shaky breath.
