Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Long footprints stretched behind them, trailing into the distance. Asher stood to the side, watching the scene unfold, his heart a mix of emotions.

"Come on, Mr. Barnet, pick up Mrs. Barnet. Mrs. Barnet, place your hands on Mr. Barnet's neck. Now, nose to nose," the photographer instructed.

Julian held Aurora close, their noses touching as they smiled sweetly. Aurora's eyes were closed, hiding the weight of emotions that no one could see.

"No way," Julian replied immediately. "You're pregnant now. After the baby is born, we can go wherever you want. How about that?"

"I just want to look around. I won't go on any rides. It's like I'm letting the baby feel the atmosphere in advance," Aurora explained, smiling.

"Well, if it's just to look around, I'll go with you," Julian relented.

"Julian, you're the best."
