It was already dark outside when Erick and Elle finished their intimate session. It lasted for several hours. Erick didn't stop until he was able to satiate his longing for her.
Elle's stamina weakened compared to before. She couldn't catch up with Erick. She begged him to stop and let her rest. He had drained all her energy. Because she was exhausted, Elle was still sound asleep.
Erick watched over Elle's sleeping figure as he cuddled her beneath the cool sheets of his bed. His eyes lingered on her face, sparkling with happiness.
He was really glad and grateful. She was alive. She didn't die. And now they were back to each other's arms.
This time he would do everything just to protect her. He would help her to solve her parents' case and bring justice for their deaths. He would ensure that everyone who was involved would be punished by the law.
