Chapter 12

She picked up a book and started reading. She was engrossed in the content. She had always loved reading and was quickly deeply absorbed in

Natalia was massaging him, she was taken aback. She felt his muscles twitching, and they were hot. She pressed harder, and Magnus felt a tingle all over his body. He almost gasped, and Natalia sensed his discomfort. She looked up and smiled. “I’m not very strong, but it’ll get better over time. Besides, you can’t feel
