Crystal's One Night of Love

It was eight in the evening when Henry sent Crystal back home.

The golden Bentley Continental siowly came to a halt in front of the Winters residence. Then, the clicking of car locks echoed across the small space.

He had locked the doors,

Crystal turned to him with a panicked look. “This is too fast, Henry!”

He only needed to use ten percent of his charm with twenty-year-old Crystal. With a smirk, he teased, “I haven’t even done anything yet. How am I fast?”

Her checks blushed at his innuendo.

Despite being inexperienced, she could still understand what he was implying.

Henry admired the pink blush on her cheeks briefly and decided to stop teasing her, not wanting to put her in a difficult spot.

He helped her unfasten the seatbelt, then gently brushed her hair to the side.

The narrow space in the car began to heat up.

Crystal started to feel nervous as it was her first time being in that situation with a man, and there was an unfamiliar look of lust in his eyes.

Right when her heart was racing, Henry leaned closer.

His voice was even more enticing than the darkness.

“I want to kiss you.”

An expression as if a baby animal was at a loss crossed Crystal’s face.

Feeling stirred, he pulled her to sit on his lap.

Crystal did not know what she should do.

The tip of his nose brushed hers. He looked at her fair cheeks and said in a hoarse voice, “Put your arms. around my neck.”

Crystal didn’t dare to at first, but slowly, she reached her hands out to his shoulders.

She even lowered her head to avoid looking at him. Her young, inexperienced body was shivering.

It’s just a kiss and she’s this afraid.

Henry wrapped an arm around her waist while he lifted her chin with his other hand before leaning down to kiss her, alternating between deep and shallow kisses.

Feeling a stronger desire, he started to go further, but Crystal was unwilling.

She leaned on his shoulders and held his hands in a death grip.

“You’re not allowed to touch me!”

Although she had feelings for him, she was still clear-headed. They had just started to date and get to know. each other not long ago. Even kissing was crossing the line, much less something more.

Hearing her cry with a soft, pleading voice, Henry snapped out of his haze.

I was being irrational. In my heart, she’s already my wife, so it feels right no matter what I do to her, but I’m just a random stranger to the twenty-year-old her.

He scanned the woman in his arms. Her dress had slid down to her midriff. The straps were hanging down. her lean arms, making her look alluring.

Henry’s heart softened.

He gently pulled her dress back up and fastened the buttons.

He kissed her cheeks, tenderly and dotingly. “Don’t cry. I won’t touch you.”

Crystal wanted to get off his lap, but he wouldn’t let her.

Keeping his arm around her waist, he leaned forward, reached for a pack of cigarettes from the glovebox, and took a stick of cigarette from the box.

He lit it with one hand and took a deep drag.

Crystal couldn’t stand the smell of smoke. “I don’t want to breathe in secondhand smoke.”

Boldly, she took the cigarette from his lips and held it in her hand. Yet she did not know where to throw it. Henry thought her flustered look was adorable.

He leaned forward and took the cigarette back with his hips.

Then he kissed her again and said, “I’ll only smoke half of it, then I’ll let you go home.”

Crystal fell silent at his promise and obediently rested against his chest, feeling his warmth through his shirt and smelling the faint smell of tobacco.

He rolled down half of the windows and smoked slowly. With one hand, he gently patted her head. He loved her, but his love was slightly different from the one he had for the Crystal in reality.

After all, the Crystal in his arms was only twenty years old.

As promised, he only smoked half of the cigarette before snubbing it and asking her, “Do you like me?”

Crystal refused to answer him.
