In front of the massive floor-to-ceiling window, two figures were tangled up in a passionate embrace, the silhouette of the man moving rhythmically in the dim light.
In the darkness, his deep growls mingled with her soft moans, filling the room with an intoxicating intimacy.
Selena couldn't quite tell if it was the seductive lace dress she had slipped into or the fact that Everett had been away on business for so long that fueled the fire between them tonight. His embrace was unusually tender, almost as if he truly loved her.
Afterwards, he seemed in high spirits, even carrying her to the bathroom for a playful bath before they returned to bed. Unlike his usual routine, Everett didn't immediately leave. Sensing an opportunity, Selena turned to rest her head on his chest. As she absentmindedly traced circles with her fingertips, she spoke in a husky, post-coital voice, "Honey, we've been married three years now. Grandpa thinks it's about time we start thinking about a baby."
The gentle motion of his hand on her back came to a sudden halt. He looked down at her, and the rare softness in his dark eyes vanished, replaced by his usual coldness and a touch of sarcasm.
"Selena, do you really think you deserve that?"
Those few words shattered the cozy illusion that had enveloped the room, breaking the facade of peace that had lingered for three years. Everett pushed her away, slipped into his robe, tied the belt, and stood by the bed, looking down at her with a disdainful glare.
