Female NovelHis mere presence seemed to calm Alexis’ fears and she clung tightly to him even as they settled on the bed.
Sideways on the bed, Waylen patiently coaxed Alexis, tenderly soothing her with gentle pats.
After about half an hour, amidst the soothing rhythm, Alexis gradually relaxed and nestled into his protective embrace.
Playfully, Alexis rested her feet on Waylen’s abdominal muscles and he continued the gentle patting motion on her back.
Then, his gaze shifted to Rena.
In the midst of such tempestuous weather, they found themselves sharing the same bed, their child nestled between them.
Waylen’s heart softened as he held Alexis close, his fingers reaching out to lightly touch Rena’s fingertips.
“Are you asleep?” he inquired softly.
Of course, Rena hadn’t dozed off. Feeling his tender touch, his fingertips slightly warmer, she felt as though her heart was ablaze.
Hastily, she closed her eyes and replied, “I’m ready to sleep.”
The distant rumble of thunder served as a backdrop to their silent intimacy.
In a gentle tone, Waylen expressed, “If Alexis weren’t here, I’d hold you close in my arms.”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Eventually, Rena managed to drift into slumber somehow.
The only certainty she had was that he never let go of her hand throughout the night.
Early the next morning, when Rena awoke, she met Waylen’s deep, penetrating gaze. It was unclear how long he had been watching her.
In her groggy state, Rena murmured softly, “I’ll go prepare breakfast for Lexi.”
Before she could move, he firmly held her wrist, pulling her closer. By the time Rena was fully aware, she found herself underneath him…
Waylen didn’t utter a word.
With a firm grasp on her hands, he restrained her movements and lowered his head to kiss her passionately.
Their lips met in a fervent embrace and the passion lingered…
He whispered into her ear, “The power went out during the night, and the air conditioner wasn’t working. You were lying in my bed, dressed like that. Rena… It wasn’t really my fault that I was so turned on.”
Rena gazed at him, finding his defense ridiculous.
He desired intimacy but, with Alexis right beside them, he refrained from being presumptuous.
Yet, his fingers gently explored under her silk nightdress, provoking a response from Rena.
