Crystal's One Night of Love

Late at night, when Crystal returned to the master bedroom after putting Skyler to bed, Henry was nowhere to be seen.

In the end, she found him in the study.

It was pitch dark, yet he did not turn on any lights.

He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, pulling away quietly. As he did so, the cigarette. smoke was carried away in the wind.

It scattered before fading into the night.

Crystal closed the door behind her before walking over and hugging the man from behind. “You’re still dwelling upon it, Henry?”

Ever since leaving the monastery, he had been sullen and moody.

It was clear as day that he was very much bothered by that abbot’s words.

Patting the hand she had wrapped around his waist, Henry snubbed out the cigarette and fibbed lowly, “No. Don’t overthink things.”

With her cheek plastered against his back, Crystal cajoled, “If so, cheer up, okay? That abbot’s words might not be true. Perhaps he merely made them up.”

Henry whirled around and chuckled softly.

He caressed her belly. “Has the baby been behaving?”

Crystal threw him a look. “The baby is only a little over a month old, so that’s a moot point.”

Gathering her into his arms, Henry dropped a kiss on her hair. “I’ll keep our baby company as he’s brought into the world and watch him grow up, Crystal. I won’t let you leave again.”

Crystal listened as she nestled in his embrace.

Since she had been with him for a long time, she could naturally perceive that he was still. tense inwardly.

Hoping to please him, she tilted her head back and kissed his chiseled jaw before moving. down to his neck. Ultimately, her warm breath kindled the fire within him. Besides, it was rare for her to be so proactive.

Henry grasped her long hair gently, his gaze dark with desire.
