“I’m not in a rush,” Marcelo replied, his voice steady.

If not for his actions, his words might have seemed more convincing.

Renee gently patted his shoulder, trying to soothe him. Beneath her touch lay the solid strength of his

muscles.

“Wait, just wait!”

“Renee, is this really the time to ask me to wait?”

Marcelo’s voice was strained, but he took a deep breath and halted, remembering a past incident when he

had been less considerate.

He exerted control over himself, asking gently, “What’s the matter?”

His thoughtfulness unexpectedly made Renee feel a twinge of guilt.

“No, it’s just…be a bit…more gentle,” she murmured.

“Are you trying to set me on fire with your words, Renee? Is that it?”

Marcelo’s frustration bubbled into a laugh. He lifted her effortlessly, her body now relying solely on his

strength, leaving her no avenue for escape.

“I think I might keep you up the entire night!” Marcelo told her.

“Wait…we need to use a condom!”

Suddenly, Renee’s mind was on the fact that they had to take precautions.

Marcelo’s looked at her, a hint of challenge in his voice. “If you get pregnant, we’ll have the baby. Can’t I provide for it or secure its future?”

Renee met his gaze with a defiant look.

Marcelo, seeming to understand her concern, led her to the cabinet.

“Choose one that you feel comfortable with.”

True to his word, Marcelo kept her awake through the night.

Renee wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but as they finished, the first light of dawn was creeping through the curtain.

By the time she woke, it was already noon.
