She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 701

She gripped his arms. Any gunshot wound or other injury was nothing compared to this.

A soft gasp escaped her lips, and Lucian captured it with a kiss. "I'm not exactly experienced with this," he murmured against her mouth. "But I catch on fast. Just give me a minute."

He had pitifully little experience in this department, and the woman beneath him was too perfect. He held her tight, his heart racing faster than it ever had in his life.

Loyce was quickly overcome by an unprecedented sensation. She clung to him, burying her face in the crook of his neck, feeling his strong heartbeat and burning body heat.

But before she could fully process it, he pulled back, gasping for air.

Loyce stared blankly for a second.

Huh...

The seemingly invincible commander was apparently... only invincible in theory.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, taking on a completely different kind of tension.

Lucian hovered over her, his body stiff, breathing heavily. A bead of sweat rolled down his temple and landed on Loyce's collarbone, searingly hot.

His usually cold and composed face was now written with disbelief and a rare... awkwardness.

Loyce blinked, recovering from her initial shock.

She looked at the man's tense jawline and flushed ears, and the subtle amusement in her heart was instantly replaced by a fierce wave of tenderness and affection.
