Lauraâs embarrassment deepened further.
She gently pushed against him and said, âRelease me.
I need to take a shower.
â
Adamant and not willing to relinquish his hold, Edwin continued to press her down.
Laura, her irritation evident as she bit her lip, issued a warning.
âIf you persist, Iâll leave right now.
â
Edwin finally relaxed his grip a bit; as she got up, he couldnât help saying, âYou looked absolutely stunning just now.
Laura, Iâve never seen you quite like that.
â
Laura silently pushed him aside and made her way to the bathroom.
The bathroomâs light spilled out, illuminating her figure and casting a soft glow on her.
Edwinâs Adamâs apple bobbed slightly as he watched her.
Later, when she emerged, he refrained from any further playfulness, simply holding her close as they gazed at the snow outside the window.
Laura fretted about the challenge of leaving in the morning, but for Edwin, hugging her was all the warmth he needed.
That feeling was something he had yearned for, for a long time.
In the quiet of the night, Laura awoke to find Edwin insisting on intimacy.
Beneath the thin quilt, the air was charged with alluring tension.
Every soft moan and gasp was pure poetry.
She had indeed found pleasure in their shared moments, but it took Edwin quite some time to gently coax her into slumber, her head resting on his shoulder.
In the soft moonlight, Edwin couldnât tear his gaze away from her petite face; he never seemed to get enough of it.
Silently, he pondered, âDespite not being entirely satisfied, why does my heart feel so content?â
Early in the morning, Edwinâs phone rang, and it was Mark on the line.

He carefully slipped out from beside the slumbering young woman and tiptoed to the bathroom to take the call.
Markâs voice was hushed, a clear indication that he was keeping the conversation from Ceciliaâs ears.
âYouâve really outdone yourself, huh?â Mark snapped.
âJust because I donât object your relationship anymore, you immediately take her out for the night? It was Peterâs birthday yesterday, and you were lucky that he was inebriated.
If he hadnât been, I think he might have given you a piece of his mind.
â
Mark was fuming as he yelled, âHurry back! But first, make sure she gets home safely.
You may be shameless, but that girlâs reputation still matters!â
Edwin furrowed his brow, saying, âDad, Lauraâs still catching some sleep, so letâs not disturb her.
â
Mark swallowed his words.
