In her daze, she looked at Steve Burton's face, which, unlike the usual dark clouds that appeared after doing this, actually seemed somewhat relaxed and gentle.
As for her... Ruby opened her eyes and glanced at her body, only to find that there were no new marks added today, except for the bruises he left on her last night.
In the past, she would be in pain for quite a while after it was over, but now there was no pain, just a sense of discomfort, as if she had been hollowed out, feeling empty inside, which made her subconsciously clench her legs together, trying to alleviate the feeling of emptiness.
Steve Burton gently placed Ruby on the bed, not leaving without a word as before, but instead, he sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her.
His eyes were burning with intensity, and Ruby knew this was a sign of his unfulfilled desire for more.
Just as her intuition hadn't settled, Steve Burton lowered his head and his lips met hers again.
