"You're stressed out. I can tell. It's got to be exhausting to be caught between your principles and your family," Edward said with a concerned look. If possible, he really wanted to shoulder her burden. But he knew in his heart that she had to convince herself to give up her grudge. It was the only way out. No matter how much they were worried about her, there was very little they could do to help.
"Yes, but only sometimes. I'm fine. I have you and Justin around to comfort me, right?" Daisy finally allowed herself a smile. Although it was a faint one, it came as a relief for Edward. Smiling back, he walked up to her and took her into his arms with great affection. He swore to himself that whenever she felt tired, he would be the harbor of her soul, forever.
"Absolutely. We'll always be there for you. So just take it easy and don't let this thing ruin your life, okay?" said Edward, kissing her gently on the head. In his eyes, she wasn't always the strong and tenacious colonel. And in many cases, she was only a fragile woman who needed his protection.
"You know what, Edward, I'm afraid that I have grown addicted to your tenderness, and my dependency on you is ever increasing. Strange, because for others, the more they get to know their lovers, the less passionate they would be in a relationship. But for me, it is totally the other way around. Tell me, have you ever used any love potion on me? Or else I can't think of other explanations for my obsession for you."
Looking up at him, Daisy brought her face closer to his. Their faces were so close that she could taste his sexy thin lips with a slight move of her rosy ones. It was all she wanted in the world.
"So, I have something to ask you. Did you cast a spell on me? Are you a witch? Why are you the only woman I can see? Why did all the other women become nothing to me the moment I laid eyes on you?" Before Daisy could say a word, he pressed his lips to hers. The softness he felt made him want more. But he didn't go deeper. Instead, he paused to affectionately meet her gaze, feeling her warm breath on his face.
Well, maybe we both bewitched each other. That's why neither of us can resist the other for long." Her own words gave her goose bumps before she finished the sentence. They seldom talked to each other in such a sappy and explicit way. Among those who knew them, no one could ever imagine Daisy and Edward saying those words.
"Woman, seems that you are already infatuated with me," said Edward with his mouth curled into a wicked smile. With his lips still touching hers, he felt that he was tasting a mouthful of mellow wine when talking to her.
"Yes, very much. And I bet you can feel it," Daisy replied softly. Rarely did she get so emotional like this. Perhaps it was because Leo's name had reminded her of her bitter past, and made her a bit sentimental. She now desperately needed his comfort and love.
Of course I do. Can't you see? My body has given me away," whispered Edward, who still smiled slyly. He started to caress her lips and inhale her aroma.
"Horndog!" Giving him a gentle punch in the chest, Daisy leaned back and glared at him.'I knew it!' she thought to herself. She should never be this honest about her love for him. It would only serve as an invitation for him to show his true colors. Just like now.
"Yes, I am. And you love this horndog a lot, don't you?" flirted Edward, acting like an incorrigible imp. He winked at her, trying to seduce her. In the face of this woman, he no longer was that proud and ruthless man. No one in the city would recognize this Edward.
"No. In fact, I prefer this." Without even looking at him, Daisy suddenly gave him a kick in the shin. He released her and bent down immediately. She then seized the chance and freed herself from his hug, looking at him gloatingly from a distance.
Ouch! That really hurts! How could you, colonel! Just wait and see. You will receive a lawyer's letter soon enough!" Judging by how hard she kicked him, he knew there must be a big bruise on his leg without checking on it. It seemed to him that this woman would never give up her violent tendencies.
Come on, a lawyer's letter again? Can't you think of anything else? Be a little original!" scoffed Daisy, raising her head in contempt. She really had had enough of his innate sense of superiority. Who did he think he was? A princess who could do just as he pleased?
You want something new, huh? Fine. You asked for it, woman," said Edward. Just as he spoke, he pounced on the unsuspecting Daisy. The next thing she knew, she had again fallen into Edward's arms.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Daisy was caught by surprise. Not knowing what Edward was about to do to her, she struggled to free herself, but to no avail. He ignored her protests completely, and carried her back to their bedroom without uttering a word.
Isn't it obvious, honey?" he finally answered her in a teasing tone beside the bed. Throwing her onto the bed, Edward fell upon her at once, leaving her no chance to escape. This was something that came easy to him, and as always, Daisy was quickly at his mercy.
I don't think so!" exclaimed Daisy, panting. She had been resisting him, but wasn't trying her best. Otherwise, Edward would not have gotten what he wanted so easily. She was a tough woman, but she also knew that it was important to keep a good balance between toughness and delicacy. After all, no man nowadays would like his wife to be so out of control.
"Seriously? Let me show you then." Winking at her flirtatiously, he unbuttoned his nightgown bit by bit in front of her, every action deliberate and slow, arousing her even more. With a malicious smile on his face, he looked wild and even more attractive. His charm had almost taken her breath away. All she could see now was a man as perfect as a fine piece of art, but also as seductive as a lively sexy creature.
"And what if I defy you?" Having said that, Daisy fondled his naked barrel chest gently with her slender fingers, smiling provocatively at him. Gazing at him, her desire shone in her eyes.
"Woman, you won't get away from me this time. There's no escape. This is what you get for challenging me." Edward was a real lady-killer. There was no two ways about it, for he could get the icy Daisy to surrender simply by shooting her an affectionate look. She stopped struggling, and started to take heavy breaths, losing herself totally in the act of making love. She was with her man, and he was the only one who could do this. When the first signs of the dawn appeared on the horizon, the Marine Garrison Headquarters of the city was already full of movement. Green-clad soldiers strode to and fro, and you could hear the roar of engines as vehicles were mobilized. Like always, the sound of the drill commands echoed through the yard and its surroundings, indicating that the soldiers were in the midst of their morning exercises.
Daisy and Kevin arrived at the army base almost at the same time. Daisy always cut a pretty martial figure in her uniform. She walked into the base with such dignified bearing, as if to tell people that she was not inferior to anyone, not even to men.
"Good morning, Major General. You're early today." Daisy greeted Kevin with a bright smile, looking better than ever. She seemed to have an "in-love glow", so it was clearly evident that she enjoyed her marriage a lot.
