Jack had devoured every inch of Zoey, not once but thrice, leaving no part of her untouched.
As they lazed around into the afternoon, Jack was eager for another round when Zoey, with cheeks flushed and not a patch of skin unblemished, slapped him without hesitation.
"Look at the time! Aren't you concerned about Nolan at all?" she gritted her teeth in frustration.
What kind of parents sleep till the afternoon?
Jack, drenched in sweat, pleaded with her, playing dumb to continue.
"One last time, honey, I promise."
Zoey wished she could kick him off the bed.
But drained, she eventually drifted back to sleep.
Upon waking, the room was shrouded in darkness.
She noticed Jack and Nolan sitting at the bedside table, Nolan engrossed in a book while Jack worked on his laptop, the chaos of earlier tidied up, leaving no trace of their afternoon's abandon.
Dressed in fresh pajamas, the sight of the twilight sky casting a glow on their faces warmed her heart unexpectedly.
Jack was the first to notice she was awake, closing his laptop.
"Awake? Hungry?"
Her stomach answered before she could, echoing loudly.
He hurried downstairs and returned with a plate of food. "Eat something before you sleep again."
Abandoning any pretense, Zoey started to eat, spoonful after spoonful.
Jack wiped her mouth gently with a napkin, his actions tender.
Remembering the morning's events made Zoey uneasy, her defenses lowered from caring for him the previous night and inquiring about his childhood with Ian.
Seeing the calm father and son duo by the window, she felt a surge of happiness.

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....
