Chapter 108 Unfinished Business
Liam lay flat on his back, eyes staring blankly at the ceiling of his room. A soft glow from the wall lamp painted the space in a dull warmth. His right hand, now wrapped snugly in a bandage, rested across his chest.

A light, lacy tank top hugged her chest without a bra beneath it, making the outline of her nipples clearly visible under the thin fabric. The shorts she wore sat high on her thighs, showing off her long, smooth legs. Her hair was loose, cascading around her shoulders, her face lit softly by the hallway light.
