Il sort out your leave from work.” Morwenna felt perfectly fine and wanted to protest But Stuart was convinced the wasn’t alright, and her protests fell on deaf ears. Well, she didn’t protest too vigorously anyway. Against the old, harsh Stuart, sit could have fought back toe–to–tor. But standing in front of Stuart as he is now, Morwenna just couldn’t find the guts to say no So. Morwenna stayed put for three days. On the moming of the third day, Morwenna woke to find herself with Stuart’s bathrobe pulled open, her face pressed against his chest. ‘ She really felt like crying. How desperate was she for him! If Stuart kept this up, she wasn’t sure she could hold back much longer. Then Morwenna suddenly noticed the scars on Stuart’s chest. She remembered what had happened before and froze.
