222 Rely On Me More

After being pounded into roughly for more than an hour, Lucien eventually passed out. His grip around Ronan loosened, allowing the Alpha to take a look at his crying face at last.

"Lulu..." Ronan sighed.

He brushed against Lucien's cheeks with his thumb to wipe his lover's tears away.

If only he could do the same with the pain in Lucien's heart.

If only he could erase the painful memories in Lucien's brain, leaving only the sweet, happy memories behind.

"I love you," Ronan whispered. "I love you so much... My sweet Lucien, my love."

Ronan caressed Lucien's beautiful hair and face again and again while waiting for his knot to deflate. Once the Alpha was able to dislodge himself, he swept Lucien into his arms and carried him to the bathroom.

Exhausted physically and mentally, Lucien remained asleep while Ronan cleaned him and put clean clothes on him.
