It was their wedding night, and the thought alone made Lily’s cheeks burn. Sitting nervously on the edge of the bed, she fidgeted with her fingers, waiting for Ethan to finish his shower.

Her mind raced with a mix of excitement and apprehension. She had promised herself to be a good wife to him, but calming her nerves in this moment felt nearly impossible,

The sound of the bathroom door opening snapped her out of her thoughts. Ethan emerged, fresh from the shower, his damp hair slightly tousled, and a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips. His gaze fell on her, and he chuckled softly at her expression.

Lily looked like a little kitten–adorable, wide–eyed, and utterly flustered. Her heart pounded loudly as he took slow, deliberate steps toward her.

When he sat beside her, the air grew heavy with anticipation. Leaning in close, Ethan brushed his lips against her neck, trailing soft kisses up to her ear. His voice was low and teasing as he murmured, “Tonight is our wedding night…”

Her entire body shivered at the warmth of his breath against her skin. She managed a small nod, her voice barely above a whisper. “I… I know.”

Seeing her reaction, Ethan’s smile deepened. Gently, he laid her down on the bed, positioning himself above her. Lily’s cheeks turned a bright shade of red as she felt the press of his lips against her collarbone.

A gasp escaped her when he nibbled her skin lightly, soothing it with the soft flick of his tongue. The sensation left her breathless. Slowly, he moved upward, his lips finally capturing hers.

At some point, without realizing it, her hands found their way around his neck, pulling him closer. She -responded to his kiss, their movements growing in sync. Their tongues intertwined in a passionate dance,

one that he eventually dominated.

After what felt like an eternity, Ethan reluctantly pulled away, his dark eyes searching hers. He smiled softly and spoke in a gentle tone. “Lily… let’s sleep.

Her eyes flew open, confused by his sudden retreat. As he pulled her into his arms, she blinked, her heart still racing.

“Why are we… not celebrating our wedding night?” she finally blurted, her voice a mix of shyness and curiosity.

A mischievous grin lit up Ethan’s face. “Were you wondering why I stopped?”
