Natalie’s face flushed as she finally understood.
It wasn’t a big deal to call him “Darling,” but to be requested to do so, she suddenly felt embarrassed.
Noticing her shyness, Shane lowered his head slightly and touched her forehead with his. He coaxed with an enticing tone, “Please, call me again.”
Natalie couldn’t resist when he begged her with such a tone. Her heart was pounding intently, and her body started to melt, leaning deeper into his embrace. She whispered, “Darling…”
Due to her quiet voice, it sounded even softer.
Shane sucked in a breath. He lifted her chin and stared into her eyes. His mouth slowly approached hers before landing firmly on her lips.
Natalie instinctively struggled against him.
He pulled her body closer to his, effectively stopping her struggles.
The room temperature was starting to rise, and the air was feeling much hotter than before.
Natalie felt his hand that was on her waist started snaking around. She understood what was about to happen next and didn’t intend to resist. She lifted her leg and rubbed it against his calf, signaling him to do it in bed.
He got her hint, and his eyes glinted. He lifted her in a bridal carry and carried her toward the bed.
Outside the windows, fireworks continued to light up the sky in colors, while inside, a newlywed couple was engaged in an act full of love.
That night was fated to be a long and lingering one.
Natalie was unsure of how much time had passed, but it wasn’t until she was exhausted that Shane finally released her. He kept his arms wrapped around her, and after pecking a kiss on her forehead, he shut his eyes.
“Go to sleep.” Shane pulled the covers over Natalie’s body.
She couldn’t hear him as she was too tired. She simply mumbled in acknowledgment and started to find a comfortable spot on his chest before falling asleep.
