Crystal's One Night of Love

Crystal woke

The first thing she saw was Henry seated by her side. He was patting her hair. Feeling awkward that he was being a bit too close, she sat up. “How long have I been asleep?”

Henry pulled his hand back. He stared at her for a moment, then a smile curled his lips. “About an hour or so.”

Crystal got up and changed into her shoes: “Did it hold you up?”

Henry held her hand.

Crystal looked at him. “What is it?”

Henry pinched her nose. “It’s all right. No work is more important than you, Mrs. Miller.”

Crystal put on a small smile.

She felt soft to the touch, perhaps because she had just woken up. It had been a while since he had kissed her. Even though this was not the best place to kiss, Henry still went in for one.

“Henry…” Crystal leaned on his shoulder.

Henry couldn’t hold back anymore. He pried her mouth open gently and slid his tongue in.

A long, long while went by before Henry was satisfied. Crystal leaned on his shoulder weakly, her face red from the kiss.

Henry wrapped his arms around her waist. He wished to go deeper, but he wouldn’t go at it that easily, lest she hate him. Feeling his desire, Crystal said, “Let’s do it tonight.”

He shouldn’t be holding his urges in all the time. She wasn’t going to get a divorce either. It wasn’t as if she had no feelings for him.

Henry languidly patted her. They went downstairs and got into the car. Wishing to stay with Crystal longer, he gently said, “Why don’t we go to work together? You can take a nap at my office. We’ll get off work early and pick Skyler up.”

Crystal mused over it. “Someone needs to take care of Remi.”

Henry was disappointed, but he took her home anyway. Slowly, he drove away from the clinic.
