Marrying the Man in the Dark

Last night…and this morning!

The memories flooded back, vivid and electrifying. The sensation of being consumed by a man’s ardor, again and again, until she felt like she was ascending to the heavens, only to succumb as a celestial being.

Cherise’s face flushed crimson, resembling the hues of a fiery sunset. “Darien! You rogue!”

“I reserve my roguishness solely for you.”

Damien’s lips curled into a mischievous smile as he gently clasped Cherise’s hands, planting a kiss on them. “By the way, have we ever made love in the car before?”

Cherise felt her forehead tense with veins as a sense of unease settled in her heart. “Damien, you…”

“Why don’t we seize the opportunity to try it next time?”

The man’s smirk widened as he brushed his lips against hers. “Why wait for the perfect moment when we can make it happen tonight, in the car, after the kids drift off to sleep?”

“After all, I talked with another woman today, so I owe you.”

Cherise was speechless.

“I respectfully decline!”

Concerned that Damien might indeed engage in such antics, Cherise promptly retreated to the children’s room after dinner, locking the door behind her.
