Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Taking Care of Oneself

Duke's direct response left Kisha momentarily speechless. She felt torn, caught between acting on her desires and hesitating out of concern for the potential complications it could bring to their relationship. Their current dynamic was already somewhat ambiguous, and Kisha didn't want to risk reducing their connection to mere physical attraction.

Kisha bit her lower lip, grappling with the desire to be forthright with Duke. As if sensing her internal struggle, Duke spoke up before she could voice her thoughts. "But don't worry," he reassured her, "I won't do anything to make you feel uncomfortable or used. I genuinely came here to sleep with you on the same bed, so I can be here in case you have another nightmare." Duke offered the explanation to ensure Kisha didn't misunderstand his intentions, although his body's honesty betrayed the simplicity of his words.
