His Unveiled Passion

The heater had been turned on, but Tessa felt her entire body begging to grow unbearably hot.

Stephen pinned her to the couch and traced his hot lips all over her neck. His voice was dipped low, hoarse from want as he asked, "Tess, I want to stay the night with you. Can I?"

Tessa felt like she was cocooned by his body heat. Her face was beet red and she blubbered, "Y-You can..."

His lips curved up into a smile, the desire in his eyes intensifying. He didn't speak again, focusing all his attention on showering Tessa with endless kisses.

Tessa felt dizzy from his affection. She loved being intimate with Stephen.

Too many things happened recently, resulting in them not having the time to enjoy each other in ages. Both Stephen and Tessa couldn't hold back their desires any longer. A spark was all it took to set the fire ablaze.

Outside the window, the snow continued to fall quietly. The inner side of the window fogged up from their intense lovemaking. Tessa was drunk on the happiness and satisfaction welling up in her heart.

After all was said and done, Tessa could feel how sore her body was all over. She was so tired, her strength fleeing from her.

"Thank you, Stephen."

Stephen carried Tessa and walked over to the bathroom. "What are you thanking me for?"

Tessa was cradled in Stephen's arms. The haze of desire had not fully receded from her eyes. Her face was also still a sultry red. "Thank you for helping Anne find a suitable bone marrow. You gave her another chance at life. Thank you for giving hope to the siblings."

"That's it?"

Stephen lowered his gaze. Tessa could see the affection in his eyes.

She nibbled on her bottom lip. "Thank you also for always being by my side. For giving me love that belongs only to me. For allowing me to experience what love should be like."
