Edwin regarded her and whispered softly, âWeâve done this at least a hundred times.
I refuse to believe youâve forgotten.

Edwin chuckled, unable to resist whispering into her ear, âYour desires are quite evident.

Laura harbored genuine affection for him, and at their best moments, a hint of infatuation often stirred within her.
