The Ex and Her Riches

When he came to his senses, his survival instincts kicked into gear. “Don’t get the wrong idea, Darling. I’m not saying you’re heavy. You’re as light as a feather, and you’ve got an irresistible, perfect body.”

He stared at Gwendolyn nervously, but she merely continued watching him sternly in silence.

Cedrick studied her in befuddlement. Did I say something wrong again? What else should I be saying, then?

As Gwendolyn’s gaze grew colder, he hurriedly pleaded, “Darling, can you tell me the answer in your mind?”

Gwendolyn snorted. “Sure. I’ll use a ruler to teach you word by word once we get back to our room. How about that?”

The man tensed up instinctively.

With her lips pursed, Gwendolyn pondered upon his first answer and listed out his crimes, “The answer you uttered without hesitation is a true reflection of your heart, which means that’s exactly what you were thinking. I only put on a gown, yet you said I’m heavy. I thought I’d contributed greatly to the Jenson family by giving birth to two babies, but you’re already disgusted by me. So, that doubles your sins. Looks like I’ve got to teach you a proper lesson when we get back.”

Her speech rendered Cedrick speechless.

While walking down the windy path of the Jenson residence, he took deep breaths to calm his nerves and asked cautiously, “How are you planning to punish me, Gwenny?”

Gwendolyn’s eyes gleamed as she looked at him. “You should be spanked.”

The sight of his face draining of color motivated her to add evilly, “With your pants off.”

Cedrick’s face turn as red as an apple. He gave the woman in his arms an aggrieved look. “Darling…”

He dragged his feet, for he dared not return.

I don’t want to endure such a cruel punishment if that’s what my fate will be when I get back.

The worried look on his face made Gwendolyn chuckle. After all, she was only joking. She was not actually mad.

Tapping the tip of his nose gently, she reassured him, “All right. I won’t hit you. I was just joking. You’ve had a hard time during and after my pregnancy. I’ll let you have a great time tonight as a reward.”

A smile instantly spread on his face, replacing the pitiful expression.

“You better be mentally prepared, then. We haven’t done it in a while. I won’t let you off so easily tonight.”

He quickened his pace, wanting to arrive at the room in a flash.
