Darwin blinked his eyes, and the room’s ceiling looked a bit unfamiliar to him. He paused for a moment, recalling, until he finally realized that he was currently in Veronica’s room.
Unconsciously, Darwin smiled. Lowering his gaze, he found Veronica still sound asleep, holding onto his body tightly.
Beyond that, the two of them were even under the same blanket. So close. Stuck together like their skin was glued by adhesive. And don’t forget, neither of them were wearing any clothes after their passionate night.
In the silence, Darwin reached out his hand. He gently stroked Veronica’s smooth cheek, tucking away a strand of hair that seemed to cover her beautiful face.
Again, while gazing at Veronica’s face, Darwin smiled with joy. A feeling of happiness crept into the depths of his heart. He was proud too, actually, to be the first person to touch his wife’s body.
Darwin wasn’t exaggerating. After having Veronica entirely last night, there was a distinctly different sensation brewing within him.
No. Darwin was sure that he had never felt this way before. Even when he was in a relationship with Vivian, he didn’t experience the same happiness or the strange impulses and heartbeats that he felt now.
If he could be honest, Veronica had managed to enchant and hypnotize him to act like this. Just as Kennedy and Randy had said. After touching Veronica, he would definitely go crazy. Crazy because of his wife’s own charm.
That’s why, from this moment on, Darwin was determined not to let Veronica leave his side. He had already thought about possessing that woman entirely and forever.
“Win…”
That hoarse voice immediately caught Darwin’s attention as he was lost in thought. He blinked, turned, and then placed a gentle kiss on the top of Veronica’s head and her forehead, as she was still hugging him.
“Yeah, sweetheart.”
Veronica didn’t immediately respond. Tightening her embrace, the woman instead buried her face again in Darwin’s broad chest. Inhaling her husband’s scent deeply. As if addicted to the musky aroma clinging to the man’s skin.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Veronica asked while continuing to hug. She was sure that it was still far from morning at this point.
“I accidentally woke up.”
“What time is it now?”
Darwin lifted his head. Squinting his eyes to see the small digital numbers on the wall clock in Veronica’s room.
“It’s only three in the morning,” he said. Then he lowered his gaze back to Veronica. “Why did you wake up all of a sudden? Did I make you startled with my movements?”
Veronica shook her head. She had woken up not because of her husband’s actions.
“No, not at all. I just suddenly felt cold. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I hadn’t put on any clothes,” the woman casually chatted, completely unfazed.
Darwin chuckled softly. Somehow, he suddenly liked and enjoyed this intimate interaction with Veronica. Back when he was with Vivian, they had also been close like this. But for some reason, it felt very different again.
Despite appearing affectionate, Veronica could compose herself. She didn’t bother maintaining an image when she was around him. She was candid and straightforward about her desires. A stark contrast from Vivian.
Ah, damn it!
Unconsciously, Darwin cursed in his mind. Why was he comparing like this? But to be honest, after getting to know her better, he had to admit that Veronica was superior in every way. And foolishly, he was only realizing this now.
“Win…,” Veronica addressed Darwin when she noticed him falling into silence, lost in thought.
“Hmm… yes, dear?” he responded affectionately.
“Why are you daydreaming? Or could it be that you’ve been staring because you’re admiring my beauty?”
Darwin smiled unknowingly. Blinking once, he brought his hand up and gently caressed Veronica’s exposed back.
“Yes. I just realized that you’re incredibly beautiful.”
“Oh, cheesy,” Veronica replied with her lips pouting.
“I’m serious, Veronica. I think my eyes were closed all those times, so I didn’t realize just how beautiful my wife is.”
Without warning, Darwin seemed to get closer. He reached for Veronica’s chin and sensually kissed her lips.
Although it wasn’t their first kiss, Veronica was still surprised by the sudden attack from her husband. As a result, she pushed slightly against Darwin’s chest, causing their second kiss to pause momentarily.
“Win,” Veronica whispered softly. “Don’t you just want to go back to sleep?”
Darwin cleared his throat. Maintaining eye contact with Veronica, he responded with a shake of his head.
“What if we postpone sleeping and instead repeat what we did last night?”
“What do you mean?”
This time, Darwin nodded, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“I think I’m losing my sanity, Ve. I’m starting to get addicted to you.”
Without waiting for a response or reaction to his words, Darwin kissed Veronica again. He softly kissed her lower lip and then moved to the tempting upper lip.
Veronica closed her eyes as Darwin’s lips indulged her. Not only that, she reciprocated the kiss with equal enthusiasm. When Darwin kissed, nibbled, and pecked her lips repeatedly, Veronica did the same.
Welcoming it with delight, she responded in kind. Not forgetting to return the passion and enjoy the intimate activity that was proving to be addictive for both of them.
Once again, Darwin broke their kiss. Pulling away. Not to stop, but to change positions. Crawling up and then straddling Veronica’s body, who wasn’t wearing anything.
For a moment, before continuing, Veronica could clearly see how Darwin flashed a mischievous smile. Extending one of his index fingers, he intentionally caressed Veronica’s face.
“You’re truly beautiful, Ve,” he complimented for the umpteenth time. “From now on, these beautiful eyes can only look at me,” Darwin murmured, bringing his finger to rest just at the corner of Veronica’s eye. “These sexy lips can only whisper my name. Only I can kiss or nibble them.”
Then, Darwin’s fingers descended again. Pausing briefly at Veronica’s neck. Teasing there for a moment, until finally stopping right at the sensitive area that was now Darwin’s favorite playground.
“And these two breasts…” Darwin continued speaking. “Only I can touch or squeeze them like this.”
Darwin immediately began to squeeze his wife’s breasts simultaneously. This behavior made Veronica visibly restless.
Did Darwin stop after that? Not at all. The man seemed to enjoy playfully engaging with his wife.
So, after finishing his squeezing, Darwin’s fingers returned to Veronica’s skin. Gently stroking her stomach with circular motions. Moving down. Slowly descending. Then stopping right at the top of Veronica’s thigh.
While glancing at Veronica, who appeared to be closing her eyes, Darwin once again used his hand. Pulling gently, he then slightly spread Veronica’s leg open.
Darwin’s fingers then caressed and provided intoxicating touches right in Veronica’s femininity. Holding her breath and biting her lower lip, Veronica seemed to experience and enjoy the temptation Darwin was giving.
Initially, Darwin wanted to linger and play there. Instead of stopping, Darwin enthusiastically united with Veronica. Penetrating Veronica’s innermost core.
Veronica’s eyes immediately closed. Her hands gripped Darwin’s shoulders tightly. With whatever consciousness remained, she seemed to enjoy the sudden rush of sensations within her core.
Taking repeated breaths, Veronica tried to calm herself. Moments later, she opened her eyes and smiled. Extending her hand, she then pulled Darwin to completely press onto her body.
Darwin then moved slowly and cautiously. Going in and out repeatedly, enjoying Veronica’s tight, warm, and wet femininity.
The same applied to Veronica. She certainly didn’t stay still. Trying to keep up by moving along. Joyfully embracing the thrusts Darwin provided.
Even Darwin’s increasingly deep and strong thrusts continued to captivate Veronica. Leaving her swaying with indescribable sensations.
Moans and sighs were increasingly audible from Veronica’s lips as Darwin pressed on. He kept moving, then pushed as forcefully and deeply as he could. Eventually, the pleasure was once again felt by both.
***
This time Veronica woke up first. With a lingering pain, she slowly tried to move Darwin’s hand, which was draped over her stomach.
Perhaps feeling disturbed or surprised by Veronica’s movement, Darwin woke up involuntarily. As he opened his eyes, he reached for Veronica’s body again and held her tightly.
“Where are you going, love?” he asked, planting kisses on Veronica’s cheeks.
“I’m going to take a shower, Win. It’s already seven. Aren’t we supposed to work?”
“Can’t we have a day off like that?”
Veronica shook her head. Even though they were both in charge, they couldn’t just do as they pleased. Their actions could set a bad example for the other staff.
“Forgetful, huh? We have a meeting with one of the investors from Singapore at 10, remember?”
Darwin sighed. He finally remembered that they indeed had a scheduled meeting with a client today. Yet, if he had his way, he’d spend the whole day under the covers with his wife.
“So, are we working?” Darwin asked, hoping for some flexibility.
“Yes, Win. That’s why, come on, let’s hurry and shower.”
“But aren’t you tired?”
Suddenly, Darwin felt concerned. He was afraid that his wife might be exhausted from what they had been doing since last night.
“A bit tired, yeah. But what can I do? We still have to work.”
Darwin smiled. He briefly kissed Veronica’s forehead. Then he reached for her wrist and held it tightly.
“Thank you for everything. Thanks for giving me the chance to be better than before.”
Veronica nodded. She thought there was no harm in giving Darwin a second chance. If their marriage could be improved for the better, why not give it a try?
“No need for all kinds of thanks, Win. What matters is that I hope you hold onto and prove what you promised me.”
“You don’t have to worry, Ve. I’ll do my best.”
“And about Vivian…” Veronica interjected as Darwin finished his previous sentence. “Are you sure you want to end your relationship with her and choose me instead?”
Darwin nodded definitively. After all, he had promised Veronica. It was against his principles to go back on his word.
Before this, Darwin had doubts and kept thinking about how to explain things to Vivian to end their relationship. And after hearing Randy’s advice last night, he became even more determined to end the long-standing relationship.
Although he was sure Vivian would feel sad or disagree, Darwin saw it as a risk they both had to bear. Moreover, he believed that Vivian deserved happiness and a better man than himself.
“I’ve decided to choose you, my true wife. Later, if there’s a chance, I’ll ask for permission to meet Vivian to explain everything and end our relationship.”
Veronica nodded and then smiled. From Darwin’s gaze, she was certain that her husband was sincere in his words.
“In that case, the day after tomorrow, just prove your earlier words.”
Hearing Veronica’s statement, Darwin’s eyebrows reflexively furrowed. He was certainly wondering what Veronica’s earlier words meant.
“The day after tomorrow? What do you mean?”
“Yes,” Veronica nodded. “The day after tomorrow, there’s a meeting of division heads from all branches. Naturally, Vivian will come to Jakarta. I’m giving you one day and only one chance to meet her and settle everything. I hope you fulfill what you’ve promised.”
Darwin nodded in agreement with what Veronica said. He had high hopes that his upcoming meeting with Vivian could resolve everything.
