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.

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