Chapter 1062:
But today, she acknowledged a bitter truth: Connor's combat skills might just eclipse her own.
The kiss lingered, and as her resistance melted away, she ceased to struggle. This wasn’t their first kiss, and
they already had two children together. If Connor desired this kiss, why should she resist? His wealth and charm
hardly made it a sacrifice on her part.
With this thought, her irritation ebbed away, and slowly, she began to find a measure of enjoyment in his
embrace. Connor's technique had clearly improved, rendering her unexpectedly delicate in his arms.
Eventually, his kisses softened, shifting from forceful to tender, and his entire demeanor transformed, now
radiating warmth and affection.
As their kiss stretched on, tseemed to suspend itself, and Marissa softened into Connor's embrace, like a
tendril gently curling against a sturdy support. She surrendered completely, letting go of all semblance of
control.
The air around them grew thick with warmth as their breaths mingled, quick and heavy, making her heart race
with an intensity that echoed the heat of the room.

Lost in the moment, Marissa couldn't tell how long they had been entwined. Just as the closeness threatened to
overwhelm her, Connor paused, pulling back just enough to let her breathe, though his presence remained close,
his breath a warm caress on her cheek.

Limp in his arms, her mind emptied of thoughts, Marissa focused solely on drawing deep, revitalizing breaths.
Connor held her gaze, their bodies still pressed close, sharing the intimate dance of their breaths and the
synchronized pounding of their hearts.
In this frozen sliver of time, clarity gradually returned to Marissa, bringing a tide of indignation. She teetered on
the brink of questioning Connor's brazenness.
But before words could form, she noticed the redness in his eyes, the raw emotion laid bare. He looked at her
with the vulnerability of a child, silently pleading for understanding from a parent he felt had slighted him.
Marissa was momentarily speechless. Was this really the formidable man everyone revered?
He seemed so aggrieved, so wronged, yet he was the one who had overstepped.
Her lips parted, but no accusation broke the heavy silence. It was Connor who spoke, his voice thick with
emotion.
“Marissa, you can’t marry anyone but me.”
His plea echoed the possessive insistence of a child, imploring a parent's exclusive affection. “Mom, you can’t
love anyone but me.”
Marissa pressed her lips together to stifle a laugh. This was a side of Connor she had never seen—vulnerable,
almost pitiful.
She had known him as a pillar of
strength, a master ec om
