The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 146

Cordelia just bounced out of the bathroom when Ronan swooped her up in his arms, making a beeline for her bedroom. Her heart kicked it into high gear. Ronan pecked her chest before booting the door shut behind him. He gently laid Cordelia on the bed, his body pressing down on hers.

"I've got dark circles under my eyes," Cordelia managed to say beneath him.

"So?" Ronan stared at her, panting pretty hard.

"Don't keep me up all night, every night. I've got work to do," she told him.

"I didn't bring any condoms," Ronan whispered into her ear, making her tingle all over.

He was thinking that even if she got pregnant, it wouldn't be the end of the world. He had no intention of ending this marriage. He'd made peace with the fact!

"I did." And with that, Cordelia pulled out a box of condoms from her pocket. She'd just bought it from the pharmacy.

Ronan looked at her, a smirk playing on his lips. "I thought you weren't up for it. Looks like you're ready to rumble."

"But don't keep me up too late," Cordelia pleaded with him.

Ronan turned off the light.

Cordelia's bed was one of those old wooden ones that had seen better days. It wasn't exactly stable and kept rocking.

The bed was much smaller than the one at Ronan's place, but it made them closer to each other. Cordelia could even smell the scent of Ronan's sweat, that intoxicating pheromone smell. It made her heart race and her cheeks flush.

After they were done, Cordelia's heart was hammering in her chest, making it even harder for her to fall asleep.

The room felt stuffy, so she got up and walked over to the window. The lights were off, so no one outside could see in. She didn't bother to get dressed; she just pulled back the curtains.

The moment the moonlight flooded in, Ronan saw a beautiful silhouette, curvy, slim waist, and long legs. His heart started racing.
