Everything suddenly flowed so naturally. Alden’s lips joined Hannah’s suddenly, though his action was gentle. At first Hannah was surprised.
But there was no pressure from Alden and that made Hannah feel comfortable. Kiss after kiss between them, it grew warm until it slowly began to ignite.
Hannah felt completely accepted by Alden. For if Alden had treated her only as a toy or a slave, his attitude would have been reckless.
Instead, Alden treated Hannah very gently. As if he were touching something fragile.
When Alden peeled off Hannah’s clinging shirt, her heart raced wildly. Their lips were still locked, and Hannah only closed her eyes.
Their whispered voices melted together, their breaths racing. And when Alden broke their kiss, he explored other parts of her. Hannah willingly laid her body on the bed, enjoying every touch Alden made.
“Sir…” Hannah whispered softly.
Alden paused for a moment, then turned to Hannah. “Do you want me to stop?”
There was no answer from Hannah, she just stared at Alden with increasingly erratic breathing. She couldn’t even hide her instinctive feelings anymore.
Alden removed the only barrier on Hannah’s breast, and in an instant he could see how beautiful Hannah was as a woman.
“Hannah?” Alden called out, even his breathing accelerating.
In her mind, Hannah felt, why should they stop? After all, they were legally husband and wife. Intercourse was a normal thing, and it would strengthen the bond between spouses.
It made Hannah feel valued, treated as a wife should be.
Hannah’s hand touched Alden’s shoulder where he stood directly above her. “Please, sir, continue…”
“Alden.” The man landed another sweet kiss and a small bite on Hannah’s chin. “Don’t call me, sir.”
“Alright, Alden.”
Alden dropped down and began to provide sensations Hannah had never imagined. She let out a soft moan, her body writhing as Alden’s fingers and lips touched her sensitive areas.
Until now, Hannah had never gone far. When she was with Jeffrey, it was just sweet kisses on the lips, sometimes on the cheek or the forehead. Maybe that’s why Jeffrey cheated on Hannah. Because Aspen offered more.
But that didn’t mean Hannah couldn’t.
If that were the case, Hannah shouldn’t have been on cloud nine when Alden took her there.
“You’re beautiful,” Alden whispered.
Carefully, Alden spread Hannah’s legs apart, then lowered himself further. Hannah was immediately embarrassed as Alden tried to remove her pants.
“Sir, I mean Alden, I don’t know,” Hannah said. “It’s just that I…”
Hannah lost her words as Alden touched her sensitive area and immediately her hands gripped the sheets.
“Oh, dear,” Hannah gasped, almost choking.
“Are you okay?” Alden looked worried.
“It’s my first time.”
Alden stopped suddenly. He immediately looked incredulous and instantly uncomfortable. At that moment Hannah was confused, was what she said wrong? Or did Alden think it was a joke?
Or worst of all, Alden thought Hannah was just a blatant liar.
“Really?” Alden asked.
“I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t bring it up in this situation.”
“No, you should tell me.” Alden cleared his throat quietly. “What if I hurt you because I thought you weren’t…”
This time, Alden lost his voice.
“A virgin?” Hannah whispered.
Hannah wouldn’t blame Alden. Besides, Hannah had been with Jeffrey for years, it wouldn’t be possible if their relationship didn’t end in bed. But the truth was, Hannah was still keeping her virginity.
Alden took a deep breath. “If you’re not ready or don’t want to, we can stop now.”
Hannah immediately sat up and grabbed Alden’s arm. “No. I’m married to you, I want to do what I’m supposed to.”
“I don’t want you to feel pushed.”
“Would you think I was being forced if I did this?”
This time Hannah took the initiative and brought their lips together, and for a few minutes they exchanged wild kisses. But for Hannah, it was very nice.
Since they first met, Hannah never thought Alden would change. The cold, sadistic and arrogant man, how could he have feelings? But slowly Alden showed a different attitude.
If Hannah had to give Alden her virginity that night, she was ready and willing.
Although Hannah didn’t know if it was a form of escape from heartache, sheer lust, or if she really felt love for Alden. Whatever it was, Hannah just wanted to give it her best shot.
“Hannah, no,” Alden said suddenly.
Immediately, Alden released their lips and immediately covered Hannah’s exposed body with his shirt. Hannah looked at Alden confused. A feeling of disappointment hit her heart.
“Why? I’m your wife,” Hannah asked.
“I know.” Alden immediately turned his face away.
“I am yours.”
Alden ignored Hannah’s words and immediately pulled his wheelchair closer. He quickly climbed into the wheelchair, his face immediately darkening.
“Am I not attractive to you, Alden?” Hannah was worried.
“Not at all, I just feel we need more time to get to know each other.”
What nonsense, when Alden had already touched, squeezed and even tasted parts of Hannah’s body? And suddenly he felt they weren’t ready for all that?
“Just get some rest,” Alden concluded.
Hannah couldn’t argue, she just nodded, holding back her tears. Alden’s wheelchair immediately moved to the threshold, but stopped there. Alden looked back at Hannah.
“You’re a good woman. I don’t want to take advantage of you in my condition.”
“I understand,” Hannah nodded.
“It’s not fair if I want your body but my mind is still with someone else. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”
There was no need for Hannah to guess, Alden certainly couldn’t let go of the shadow of his ex-lover. Hannah couldn’t possibly compete with a woman named Sarah.
Hannah should know that Alden had someone who still ruled his heart. No matter how hard Hannah tried to break through, Alden had a fortress that was too high and too strong.
“I’m sorry for going too far, Hannah.”
