Wooing My Ex-Wife

As his wife held him, Cedrick felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Suppressing the urge to cough, he spoke softly. “You’re right to scold me, Darling. I should’ve been more considerate tonight. If it will appease your anger, I don’t mind accepting some domestic punishment.”

They had the situation under control there, but over at the lab, all hell broke loose.
