When Felix returned to the living room, Carol had already freshened up and was lounging on the couch, engrossed in the latest reality TV show.
Walking over to the foyer, Felix tidied up his shoes, only to hear her call out, “Felix, I’ve got a gift for you today, too. Go take a shower first.”
Skeptical, he showered and came back to find a designer suit laid out on the sofa.
He played dumb in front of Carol, pretending he didn't recognize the high-end brands. She really thought he was clueless, often flaunting her expensive handbags worth a small fortune around him.
The clothes weren't cheap either; they were runway exclusives not yet available in stores.
“Try this on, I picked it up while passing by a boutique. I think it’ll look smashing on you. Suit up and let’s have some fun,” she said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, not realizing there was anything amiss in her request.
Carol was always straightforward with what she wanted. At first, she feigned modesty, but soon enough, she was directing him with hands-on authority.
She grabbed the suit, clutching Felix's arm as they headed to the bedroom.
A delicate fragrance filled the room – her perfume.
Felix found himself seated on the bed as Carol pushed the designer threads towards him.
“Hurry up and change, I want to see.”
He was compliant in these matters, quickly slipping into the suit.
Felix was tall, and the suit highlighted his athletic build, complementing his demeanor perfectly.
Carol internally screamed with joy. Her taste was impeccable; the effort she put in chasing him was worth it – he was stunning!
She grabbed his tie, pulling him closer.
Playing along, Felix leaned in.
“Try kneeling on one knee,” she suggested.
He hesitated for just a second before complying.
Carol's heart raced as she placed her foot gently on his chest.
Her mind roared with the thought of buying every piece from that designer for Felix. He deserved the best, not some flea market knock-offs!
Just as she was about to tease him, she felt him grasp her foot and plant a kiss on the instep.
A tingling sensation washed over Carol, and her cheeks flushed crimson.
She had only intended to play, like in the movies, but he was improvising.
Impressed, she had thought he was shy in bed, always hiding his face from her.
“Felix, tonight I want to see your face, okay?”
She tugged on his tie, pulling him to his feet.
Felix stiffened, slowly standing up. “I’ll wash my face.”
“You’re not nervous, are you?”
“No.”
“Carol, I…”
Before he could finish, she tiptoed up and kissed him.
Felix tried to push her away, but she pressed in further, parting his lips.
Seeing his reluctance, Carol let go.
“Have I been too much for you these past months? Drained you dry? Maybe we should go to the doctor tomorrow?”
Felix's face darkened, “No need.”
“Then what’s the matter? Felix, I love it when you wear a uniform. I’ll buy you more.”
“No, it’s a waste of money.”
“It’s only twenty bucks, not expensive.”
“Twenty bucks is enough for several days’ worth of groceries.”
Carol smiled secretly, thinking if he actually knew the cost of the suit, he’d probably never wear it out.
She wrapped her arms around Felix's waist, “So, where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you.”
Her hand slipped lower, and she sounded surprised, “There’s a reaction here, right?”
Felix tensed and quickly pushed her away.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
