Putting down the newspaper in her hand, she cupped the man's face with both hands. A gleam of delight was in her eyes.
“Sure,” she answered slowly.
Over the moon, Larry hopped up and down on the bed, as though he was a little boy.
“Hey, Larry, what are you doing? Stop jumping!” Joan yelled while trying to stop him.
Unexpectedly, he sprinted out of his room and announced, “Ms. Young, Joan agreed to take pre-wedding photos with me!”
Delilah looked at the excited man, and the corner of her lips curled up in a satisfied smile.
He was a merciless and high-handed president in the business industry, but deep down, he was more like a kid, mischievous and childish.
“Dad, what are you doing?” Rubbing his eyes, Lucius ambled out of his bedroom.
Larry gazed at him with a guilty face.
“Nothing, Lucius. Go back to sleep.” With that, he gently pushed the boy back into his bedroom.
Coming out of her room, Joan slapped the man's shoulder. “Quickly go to bed.” She then flashed an embarrassed smile at Delilah.
From that moment on, Larry felt as if his entire world was lit up.
“Okay, calm down. We're not doing the photoshoot today,” the woman mumbled while getting into bed.
On the bed, Larry rolled over and pinned Joan beneath him and pecked her on the cheek. Gradually, the two got hot and heavy before they drifted off to sleep with sweet smiles.
The next morning, Larry bit her ear and asked in a soft voice, “Aren't you going to wake up?”
“I'm so tired,” she murmured, hugging him tightly.
Gazing at her coy expression, the man felt his heart pound harder. Just when he was about to lean his body on top of hers again, she rolled over and got out of his embrace.
“Are you busy today?” she asked.
“No, I'll be with you the entire day,” he replied, caressing her body.
From eight to ten o'clock, the two were still snuggled together on the bed as the clock ticked away.
