A Crazy Night Novel

“A penny for your thoughts.”

Nathaniel came home from kindergarten to see Christina spacing out in the study. She didn’t even realize he had come in.

He strode over to gather her into his arms, snapping her out of her reverie. Flashing an awkward smile, she responded, “Nothing much. I was thinking about how reckless I was.”

Nathaniel rested his chin on her shoulder and inhaled deeply, taking in the fragrance of her hair. “Hmm? For example?” he asked nonchalantly.

“For example, when I found out about my biological parents, I didn’t take the time to think it through and ended up lashing out at you. I wasn’t calm or rational at that moment. But now, upon reflection, I realize that I only heard one side of the story and didn’t consider the peculiar coincidences,” she confessed.

Deep down. Nathaniel was pleased to hear that. He comforted her. “It’s fine. We’re married, so it’s only right that you vent your frustration at me. I’m your husband, after all.”

“Thank you, Nathaniel.” Christina turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Nathaniel arched his brow. “Just a simple thank you?”

Christina pondered over it before standing on tiptoes to give him a light peck on his lips.

She was about to inch away when Nathaniel pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.

“No,” Christina rejected softly when she sensed he was about to go to second base.

Her coy voice merely served to heighten Nathaniel’s desire. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I want…”

Christina was pinned to the desk, the warm sunlight bathing her body in a gentle glow.

Her skin appeared luminous and ethereal in the light, reminding Nathaniel of an angelic being.

“Christina, you’re gorgeous.”

Christina gazed at him, feeling her heart skip a beat.
