All Her Secrets

Catherine woke up and stood in front of the mirror, sighing as she looked at the red marks on her neck. Even though Branden had shown restraint, the red marks were still visible.

Last night, she returned to the apartment with Branden. Knowing that she had been busy with laboratory work lately, Branden made her a cup of warm milk, intending for her to rest.

However, she, for sreason, decided to seduce him. But how could Branden resist her teasing? He pounced on her immediately, and the two shared a night of passion. She ended up sleeping in today.

Branden entered the bathroom and found Catherine standing in front of the mirror in a daze. He walked up slowly, embraced her from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder. " Feeling uncomfortable?" he softly asked.

Catherine returned to her senses, her wandering thoughts brought back. She gazed gently through the mirror at the man. Half-closing her eyes, she lazily responded to Branden's question, "No. Just sleepy." Despite Branden's suggestion for her to sleep a bit more, Catherine declined.

Branden anticipated her response. He knew Catherine's nature. Once she decided on something, her plans wouldn't easily change.

While Catherine was washing up, Branden attentively unbuttoned her sleepwear from behind and changed the clothes she would wear today. Catherine remained like a puppet throughout, letting Branden take care of everything.

In the apartment, there was a room transformed into Catherine's dressing room. Branden regularly added various accessories and clothes, but Catherine rarely went in.

Whenever she needed to dress, Branden would choose and present the clothes to her. Her clothing requirements were simple, emphasizing comfort and warmth. Apart from these, it was up to Branden's mood to decide.
