Lugard's eyes locked onto hers.

"husband, my lord," he whispered.

Lisa's cheeks flushed. "My husband, my lord," she repeated.

Lugard's smile was triumphant.

"Now, let's proceed with your punishment," he said.

Lisa tried to escape, but Lugard was too quick.

He grabbed her wrists, pulling her back into his chest.

His lips crashed down on hers, silencing her struggles.

The kiss was fierce, possessive, and utterly dominating.

Lisa's resistance melted away, replaced by a rush of desire.

She felt his warmth, his taste, and his unyielding passion.

Lugard's grip tightened, his fingers intertwined with hers.

"You're not going anywhere," he whispered, his breath mingling with hers.

Lisa's eyes fluttered closed, her body surrendering.

The room spun around her, leaving only Lugard's presence.

Lugard deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring her depths.

Lisa's senses reeled, her pulse racing with every beat.

His touch ignited a fire within her, melting her fears.

Lugard's growl of approval vibrated through her.

His hands roamed, tracing curves and contours.

Lisa's thoughts dissolved into sensation.
tear them apart.

Suddenly, he stopped, his lips releasing hers.

Lugard's eyes gleamed with intensity, his chest heaving.

"I need a minute," he whispered, his voice husky.

He walked towards the bathroom, leaving Lisa breathless.

The sudden separation left her feeling bereft.

Lisa's eyes followed him, her mind reeling.

What was happening?

Why did he stop again?

She heard the bathroom door close, followed by the sound of running water.

Lisa's thoughts swirled, her body still humming from his touch.

She lay there, trying to make sense of Lugard's sudden departure.

The sound of running water still filled the silence.

Lisa's curiosity got the better of her.

She tossed off the covers and padded softly towards the bathroom.

The door was slightly ajar.

Lisa hesitated, then decided to wait for him outside.

She closed the door, her mind racing with questions.

Why did he stop?

What was he thinking?

She walked back to the bed, her eyes drifting to the bathroom door.

The sound of running water stopped.

The door opened, and Lugard emerged, with a towel-drying his hair.

His gaze locked onto hers, intensity burning in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lisa asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
