The Divorce Prescription

Declan grabbed her small fist and lowered his head to kiss her again.

Hailey was left dizzy from the kiss. "Declan, did the cold shower not work?"

Declan's gaze was intense, like a predator locking onto its prey. "Hailey, I want you. Can I?"

He had actually said he wanted her.

Hailey's delicate oval face flushed crimson. She bit her red lip lightly and then nodded.

Declan lowered his head to kiss her again, but Hailey stopped him.

He husked, "What's wrong?"

"Can we move to the bed? I'm a little nervous. This is my first time."

Declan immediately lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bed, where they tumbled onto the soft sheets together.

Feeling her body tense up, Declan gently intertwined his fingers with hers, squeezing her hand reassuringly. "If it hurts, tell me. I don't have any experience either. This is my first time too."

Hailey's eyes lit up, and she leaned in, kissing him on her own accord.

After what felt like an eternity, Hailey curled up beneath the sheets, her forehead damp with sweat. Her flushed face was as delicate as a rose in full bloom.
