It had been days since Maria had seen Anthony, and she couldn't help but drink in the sight of him, constantly Looking him up and down.

Instead of answering her question, Anthony pulled Maria into his arms.

“What... What are you doing, Anthony?"

Maria's body stiffened for a second, but she didn't struggle. A moment later, she surrendered completely and let herself relax in his arms.

Anthony lowered his Lips to her ear and whispered, "I can Leave at any time, but...

I can also stay overnight. It's up to you."

Maria couldn't help but panic.

She had heard of the saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” but she had never truly understood it till now.

For her, this moment was like a master class in what missing someone could do.

It had only been a few days since Anthony had last seen her, but he was already losing his control and wanting to be intimate with her?

He even suggested that he could stay overnight and left the choice up to her!

Thinking of that, Maria felt her body go weak. In the past, she could easily beat Jack and Grover with one hand. But now, she felt like her limbs had turned to jelly, and her head was buzzing.

“Anthony, Tony, Mr. Wilson, please calm down! We are in the enemy's camp!"

Maria snapped. But ironically, it didn't seem like it was Anthony who needed to calm down, but Maria herself; she had already started talking incoherent nonsense, a habit that she had when she became too nervous. When Anthony saw the way she was squirming in panic, his lips spread into a wicked grin.

“Don't move, or there might be serious consequences,"

Anthony leaned down and whispered in her ear

Maria gulped and squeezed her eyes shut in anticipation

Although she had always known that this day would come sooner or later, she couldn't help but feel nervous, especially now that it was happening in the daytime.

For the first time in her life, she felt Like a total coward. How could she be so passive and submissive at a moment like this? She felt as useless as a rag doll!

Just then, she felt Anthony's hand gently caressing her back.

Somehow, the warmth of his palm comforted her and somewhat put her at ease. But it was also unexpectedly odd. Did sex usually start with touching someone on the back? She had to admit that it was strangely soothing.

With her eyes shut, she could vaguely feel Anthony's Lips hovering over her ear.

Would he bite her? And if he did... did she have to bite him back later? She had no idea how any of this worked!

“You have good judgment in choosing people. Isla seems to be a reliable worker," Anthony finally said softly in her ear.
