Alexis returned to her book.
âForget it then.
â
Disappointed, Leonel was surprised when Alexis changed her mind.
âLetâs take Evelyn with us,â she suggested.
He wanted to insist it was a coupleâs thing but bit his tongue.
âSure, Evelyn can come.
â
He gazed at Alexis, hoping sheâd understand.
She hugged him reluctantly, planting a ki*s.
âIâll get ready.
â
Leonel lingered, hungry for more.
As Alexis moved to change, he seized the moment, ki*sing her passionately.
It had been a while since heâd been this bold and heated.
It seemed he wanted to consume her, his ardor palpable.
Instinct urged Alexis to resis
, but she relented, letting his tongue invade her mouth.
The ki*s lingered, and then he pinned her down on the sofa, ki*sing her passionately, testing her boundaries.
Her long dress slipped down, revealing her curves, teasing him.
They made out for a while.
Yet, he didnât take her in the end.
Finally, he held her close, his mature voice teasing.
âYouâre just as stunning as when we got married years ago.
â
Alexis rested against him, their expressions hidden.
Her voice soft, she suggested, âShouldnât we go out? Iâll change.
â
Leonel grinned quietly.
Releasing her, he surveyed her.
Alexis appeared composed, neither too warm nor too distant.
Her manner was not overly warm but by no means frigid.
Maybe she was softening.
Gently, he touched her shoulder.
âIâll be waiting downstairs,â he said.
Alexis offered a faint smile.
As Leonel left, the room darkened.
