"Oh," I replied, getting up. "Alright."

When we got to the car, Atlas said, "Head to Cresswind Valley."

My heart sank a bit. Although Cresswind Valley was closer than Fremont Bay, I wondered why he didn't

want to go back there

As if reading my thoughts, he explained. Fremont Bay is too far I don't feel comfortable with you driving back alone."

His words left me conflicted Was it because he cared about me?

Neither of us spoke during the drive, and the silence hung heavily in the air. When we reached Cresswind

Tower, he said, "Come up with me

As if he could hear my thoughts, Atlas lifted me and headed toward the bedroom.

We tumbled onto the luxurious bed together. In fact, we hadn't even made it to this bedroom on my birthday night. Atlas took his time and pressed down on me, his fingers intertwined with mine.

He looked at me intensely, as though he hadn't seen me in a while and couldn't remember how I looked.

Inch by inch, he examined and savored me. My desire washed over my sense of reason as I stared into his eyes. He was so tender that I couldn't refuse.

While basking in the afterglow, he looked at me and asked, "Don't you want your daughter taken care of?"

"I wish to be carefree, just like her, without any burdens," I confessed.
