Over the last two weeks, they've shared passionate moments, experiencing strong desire and intimacy."Breakfast time," Marissa's voice carried through the house, catching Efrain's attention as he came down the stairs."You look stunning," he whispered, closing the gap between them in one step, enveloping her in an embrace, his lips finding the soft curve of her neck."Take a seat and join me for breakfast," she proposed, smiling warmly as she gestured towards the table.Efrain sat down, feeling grateful as he realized it had been a week since he last needed his crutches."I'll always be here, waiting for you, don't forget that," Marissa smiled."I'll never forget that a beauty like you is waiting for me," Efrain whispered, his hand caressing her cheek.Marissa smiled, recalling the time she asked Efrain about Zendaya's disappearance.

The door creaked open, and Efrain stepped into the dimly lit house, his footsteps echoing softly against the wooden floors. His eyes immediately found Valentina, sitting alone at the sofa, a half-empty glass of wine in hand. With a furrowed brow, he came up to her. "What's the matter?" he asked, worried."Ah, little brother," Valentina greeted him with a wry smile. Efrain sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration.

Marissa felt a twinge in her chest as she took in his words, but she managed a delicate smile nonetheless. "I understand," she murmured, sounding a bit sad. "But let me assure you, there's never been anything between Demitrio and me. You, Efrain, are the only one who holds any claim over my body."Marissa started unbuttoning her shirt, the cloth giving way under her touch as she released it from her jeans and let it fall open, revealing her skin."Do you want me?" Her voice quivered slightly, carrying a raw desperation. She hoped her husky tone would stir thoughts of passion and intimacy in Efrain's mind.Efrain's response didn't come in words, but in actions. His lips ghosted over her forehead, initially leaving Marissa uncertain of his intentions.

As her head instinctively leaned into his touch, he gently cradled it between his hands.Marissa's fingers tighten

The medium-sized bed he once slept in had been replaced with a giant one, dominating the space alongside his study table had been replaced with a wardrobe. He let go of his luggage, allowing it to settle on the floor, before retrieving his phone from his pocket.
