A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1498

“I trust that you won't break your promise. After all, you have to set a good example for our children.”

Joan's eyes squinted and her smile curved deeper as she teased Larry.

“An outstanding man like myself would never break promises,” Larry complimented himself, to which Joan rolled her eyes.

Realizing that neither of them had breakfast yet, she asked thoughtfully, “What do you feel like having for breakfast? I'll make it for you.”

“Hmm... anything?” Larry grinned slyly.

“Of course, I'm sure I can whip anything up.”

Joan puffed her chest confidently, oblivious to the fact that she had fallen into Larry's trap.

“How about... you!” Larry's voice boomed while he scooped Joan up and carried her back to the bed.

Joan gasped. Her face burned a tomato-red once she realized his intentions. “Put me down, it's too early for this!”

“It's never too early to stretch your muscles.

Don't you agree, Mrs. Norton?”

Playful laughter rumbled from Larry as he gently laid her onto the bed.

Desire clouded his eyes as he stared intensely at Joan.

Seeing this, Joan's heart thumped louder and wilder in her chest. She felt dizzy with shyness, but more so with anticipation.

Larry crawled toward her slowly, towering over Joan as their eyes met. Their faces were so close that they could hear each other's heavy breathing.

Joan exhaled. Her warm breath tingled the fine hairs on Larry's face, driving him wild with lust.

He gazed affectionately at Joan before kissing her with an uninhibited passion. Soon, the temperature in the room rose as romance filled the air.

An hour later, Joan lay on Larry's chest panting while he stroked the strands of her pitch-black hair in contentment.

“Larry, what should we name our baby?” Joan's eyes rounded hopefully as she thought of the exciting years to come.

He was still combing his fingers through her hair but paused to respond, ’’Come now, silly. It's still too early to settle on a name. We should take our time to find the right one.”
