Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Felix swept Carol off her feet, cradling her sideways as he strode into the house.

Her cheeks burned with a flush, buried in his embrace.

Darkness enveloped her once more as he blindfolded her with an eye mask.

"Felix?"

She heard the sounds of his departure, the splashing of water, and the unmistakable gulp of swallowing.

"What are you eating?"

"Vitamins."

His voice was nonchalant as he glanced briefly at his crotch and headed into the room.

Carol remained still, and as he moved over her, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

After the love-making, she lay panting in his arms.

Felix rolled off the bed, not lingering, and went to reheat the dinner that had gone cold.

Carol felt genuinely hungry by then, and after a shower, she walked out to the dining table, her limbs weak.

The food was ready and warm.
