So, she gave it a try.
He was rugged all over but his lips were as soft as gummy candies, just like the ones she liked to eat when she was feeling down - so chewy, so soft, so delicious...
As Cornelia Stewart was savoring her "gummy candy," the man slowly opened his dark eyes...
And that girl who was busy tasting her "candy," was completely oblivious to the fact that every single move of hers was being noted by his captivating gaze.
Until the man suddenly pulled her towards him, and his deep raspy voice echoed in her ear again, "Cornelia, your man is just a regular guy."
He hadn't been with a woman for over twenty years, not because he couldn't, or didn't want to, but because he chose to keep himself pure and not engage casually with other women.
Now, lying next to him was his wife. He not only accepted her in his heart but also physically. She probably didn't realize that every look, every move she made stirred his desire to hold her.
Cornelia was stunned. He was awake! When did he wake up?
She was so focused on her "candy" that she didn't notice.
"Sweetie, sleep!" He held her, not letting her move anymore.
Cornelia, "Were you pretending to sleep? Or did I wake you up?"
Marcus Hartley, "Your kiss woke me up!"
Cornelia blushed.
Ahhh— Why did she ask such a dumb question?
"Cornelia!" His voice echoed in her ear again.
