Chapter 68

Veronica has just finished applying various skincare products to her face. As she goes to get a drink, she forgets that the usual water-filled tumbler she keeps is not in her room.
Glancing at the clock on the wall showing it’s 11 PM, Veronica is pretty sure everyone in the house is asleep. That’s why she casually walks out of her room wearing a thin nightgown.
Going down the stairs and heading towards the dining area, just as she’s about to turn, she suddenly hears a male voice calling out. When she looks, she sees the figures of Randy and Darwin sitting in the TV room, both looking in her direction.
“Veronica!” Darwin calls out. Simultaneously, Veronica notices the surprise on Randy’s face. He probably didn’t expect to see Veronica in such a revealing outfit.
“Don’t look!” Darwin commands, covering Randy’s eyes with his hands. Then he turns back to Veronica and orders her, “Quickly go back to your room!”
“But I want to get a drink, Win.”
“I’ll bring it to your room. Now, go upstairs quickly!”
Veronica pouts. But she still follows Darwin’s command from a moment ago. After all, she can easily guess why her husband is acting this way.
Meanwhile, Darwin, after making sure Veronica has gone back to her room, immediately grabs Randy’s wrist to get him to stand up. Not stopping there, he even pushes Randy’s body towards the exit.
“What’s gotten into you, Win! Why are you shoving me like this?”
“Come home quickly. It’s already late. I want to rest,” Darwin commanded. From the tone of his voice alone, the man didn’t want his words to be challenged.
“Fine then, I’ll head home right away. But, let me say goodbye to Veronica first. I’m really lucky to have seen her looking sexy like —-”
“Randy!” Darwin interrupted with a disapproving facial expression. “Go home quickly, or I’ll call security to drag you out.”
Randy grumbled in frustration. His cousin was kicking him out so casually after no longer needing his help. Annoyed, Randy quickly bid his farewell and left.
After making sure his cousin had left, Darwin walked to the dining room. He picked up the bottle of drink that Veronica had intended to get earlier, then took it to his wife’s room.
“Ve…” Darwin called from outside. “Hurry, open the door.”
As the bedroom door opened, without waiting for an invitation, Darwin barged in. He walked towards the nightstand and placed the glass bottle he was carrying. Moments later, instead of leaving quickly, he took a seat at the edge of the bed.
“Why are you dressed like this in a sexy outfit? Haven’t I reminded you multiple times not to wear revealing dresses or clothing?”
Veronica looked at him lazily. She stepped forward, then sat down next to Darwin.
“Why ask what I’m doing? My sleepwear is naturally like this, Win. Besides, I really just want to sleep.”
“The problem is that Randy might see you, right? He’s really lucky to see you looking so sexy.”
Veronica sighed again. Why did Darwin’s words this time sound like he was cornering her? After all, what’s wrong with wearing thin sleepwear at home?
“How was I supposed to know that Randy was downstairs? It’s already past 11, Win. I thought everyone would be asleep.”
Darwin scratched his non-itchy eyebrow. In reality, Veronica wasn’t entirely wrong here. She indeed had no idea that Randy was having a conversation with her in the living room.
“Alright, fine. If you want to wear sexy clothes or dresses, just do it when you’re in the bedroom. Don’t wear them outside. It’s not an issue if only I see it, Ve.”
“No problem because you couldn’t possibly be tempted?” Veronica sarcastically retorted. Rolling her eyes, she stood up, intending to reach for the drink bottle Darwin had placed earlier while still grumbling. “Yeah, maybe my body isn’t as great as Vivian’s. That’s why you’re not interested. Everywhere you look, the neighbor’s grass is always greener, right?”
Getting increasingly irritated by the constant teasing, Darwin used that moment to grab Veronica’s wrist. Gently pushing her body until she lay back, he then pinned her down while holding her wrists, preventing her from moving.
“How many more times do I have to remind you not to bring up Vivian in our conversations?”
“Why? Don’t you like it when I compare you?”
Darwin sighed and shook his head. For some reason, Veronica enjoyed accusing him of things that weren’t true.
“Not because of that, Ve.”
“Then why?”
“If you keep talking about Vivian, how am I supposed to learn to forget her?”
Laughter erupted from Veronica’s lips. For some unknown reason, she found something amusing and couldn’t help but laugh.
“You? Trying to forget Vivian? Don’t kid yourself, Win. It seems utterly impossible.”
Still positioned above Veronica, Darwin sighed repeatedly. He was genuinely serious about what he had said earlier. Why was it so hard for Veronica to believe? Was his appearance not convincing enough?
“Just so you know, I’ve even been trying to go along with what you want, Ve,” Darwin explained. “And since yesterday, I’ve also been thinking about your hopes for our marriage.”
Veronica blinked. In the next moment, her forehead furrowed.
“What do you mean?”
“Well…” Darwin nodded, locking eyes with Veronica. He tried to reassure her to believe in what he was about to say. “I thought there’s nothing wrong with building our marriage and household from the beginning. I’m willing to do what you said last night.”
“Does that mean you’re ready to let go of Vivian?”
Darwin nodded.
“I’ve decided to choose you.”
“Are you sure? I don’t want you to play me, Win. I also don’t want to end up hurt because you break your promises or change your mind.”
In truth, Veronica felt happy with Darwin’s choice. However, she couldn’t deny her ongoing anxiety and worry. She was just afraid that somewhere along the way, her husband might change his mind or move on to someone else.
But instead of reassuring her, Darwin continued to gaze into Veronica’s eyes. Slowly leaning closer, he whispered.
“I’ll prove my words.”
Before Veronica could even react, unexpectedly and without permission, Darwin’s lips landed beautifully on Veronica’s. He intentionally silenced any potential remarks that his wife might have had with a deep kiss.
Veronica, of course, widened her eyes in surprise. Apart from feeling unprepared, she truly didn’t expect that after avoiding it for so long, Darwin would be the one to initiate the kiss this time.
For a moment, Veronica didn’t do anything. She chose to stay silent, until she felt the soft press of Darwin’s lips on hers. Encountering these gentle kisses, Veronica decided to embrace Darwin’s body. She wrapped her arms around his neck and reciprocated the kiss.
Occasionally closing her eyes, Veronica seemed completely lost in the kiss Darwin was giving her. She allowed her husband to repeatedly kiss her upper lips, then move on to her lower lips. In fact, Veronica even enjoyed the moments when Darwin teased her by giving kisses and warm caresses along her lips.
Veronica thought that after Darwin unraveled their passionate kiss, everything would be over. However, that assumption was far from the truth.
After gazing at Veronica’s face for a few moments, Darwin lowered his face again. This time, he aimed for her cheek and then moved down to her slender neck. Once more, Darwin delivered wet kisses, occasionally licking and even sucking her neck, causing Veronica to squirm.
Darwin then pulled back his face, smiling as he observed the reddish marks left on his wife’s neck. If a small display of affection like this was already making Veronica restless, what would happen with more intimate actions?
Without breaking his gaze from Veronica’s eyes, Darwin’s hands started to move. One of his hands reached for the knot of the sleep gown Veronica was wearing.
Darwin tugged, intending to undo the knot. Once it was completely free, without much hesitation, he slid it down until it was fully open. It left Veronica in her bra and underwear, covering her intimate area.
For a moment, Darwin seemed entranced by the beautiful sight in front of him. Throughout their marriage, it was only now that he had the chance to see his wife’s flawless and smooth body from such a close distance.
“You’re beautiful, Ve,” Darwin whispered without shifting his gaze.
Assuming that there had been no signs of rejection or prohibition up to this point, Darwin’s next move was to remove the T-shirt he was wearing, exposing his bare chest. After that, Darwin leaned forward and slipped his hand behind Veronica’s back, searching for something. Finally, he found the clasp of her bra, which was his current target.
With a single pull, the cover for the sensitive upper area was fully removed. It revealed a pair of breasts that looked firm and perfectly rounded.
Once again, Darwin gazed in silence. His Adam’s apple bobbed reflexively as he took in the unusual sight his wife was revealing.
Veronica herself seemed a bit awkward being in such a nearly naked position. Allowing her husband to gaze at her with desire made her heart suddenly pound uncontrollably. Even the courage she usually displayed vanished all of a sudden.
To ease her nervousness, Veronica occasionally shifted while taking deep breaths repeatedly. Trying to calm all the turmoil, which in turn seemed as if her actions were signaling to be touched.
Darwin didn’t waste any more time.
Lowering his face and with his mouth agape, he deliberately teased. Suckling, then nibbling on Veronica’s breasts one after the other.
While Veronica received a series of caresses and temptations, she naturally felt as if she were floating and restless. Never in her life had she been treated so extraordinarily.
Satisfied with the playfulness, Darwin once again crawled up to reach Veronica’s lips. He kissed her gently, while his hands roamed freely, touching Veronica’s smooth skin.
Caressing her stomach, pausing there for a moment. Then moving down again. Targeting the inner thighs. Then removing the panties Veronica was wearing.
While still continuing his ministrations, Veronica widened her eyes as she felt Darwin’s fingers touch the most intimate part of her body. She wanted to refuse, but Darwin’s gentle touches gradually drove her to the brink of madness.
“If I continue this, I can’t promise I’ll be able to stop, Ve,” Darwin whispered with a hoarse voice as he unraveled his kiss. “And also, I don’t want you to regret it after —-”
Before Darwin could finish speaking, with a misty look in her eyes, Veronica placed her index finger right on Darwin’s lips. While gazing wistfully, Veronica shook her head, signaling Darwin to stop his chatter.
Veronica then used her hand to pull down the sleeping pants Darwin still had on. As soon as they were completely off, she looked up again. Then nodded, as if signaling that she was ready to do what they should have done together a long time ago.
Not wanting to waste much time, Darwin positioned himself right between Veronica’s open legs. Gently and carefully, Darwin guided himself to slowly enter Veronica’s intimate space. At the same time, he could feel Veronica reflexively gripping his body with her eyes closed.
Darwin also clearly saw how tears suddenly welled up in Veronica’s eyes. Whether due to pain or perhaps as a reflex to the overwhelming emotion of finally surrendering her most precious treasure to Darwin.
After making sure Veronica was feeling more comfortable, Darwin slowly began to move with a gentle rhythm. Deliberately not rushing. Wanting to continue worshipping so that Veronica could enjoy their lovemaking for the first time.
Soft moans faintly escaped Veronica’s lips. With her eyes closed and breaths becoming ragged, Veronica felt how Darwin’s presence filled her down there.
Confident that Veronica was starting to feel at ease, Darwin slowly moved again. Very gently. Purposefully taking his time. Giving his wife the chance to enjoy their intimacy.
Before long, Darwin could clearly hear how his wife below was moaning. Signaling that the woman was savoring the game that Darwin had created.
Then the next thing Darwin did was change positions. He embraced Veronica’s body while continuing to move. What was slow at first gradually turned faster. Relentlessly. Causing Veronica’s moans to fill the entire room.
Until they reached a point where both of them felt the pleasure and satisfaction they had been seeking. Veronica and Darwin could do nothing but embrace each other. Allowing something down there to keep connecting. For quite a while. Before Darwin slowly descended and then shifted. The man chose to lie right beside Veronica, then embraced her while whispering affectionately.
“From this moment on, you are entirely mine, Ve.”
