Loriel was dying to kiss his wife. Her luscious lips brushed his cheek and felt so soft when she gave him a peck. It made Loriel's heart palpitate.
The man had to swallow his drool and looked away, trying to divert his attention to their two cats, so he would stop thinking about Elise's lips.
The former king couldn't possibly kiss her back. He had to exert his self-control and wait until Elise became his again.
At the moment, she was just a… friend to him.
"Don't mention it," Loriel said with a smile. "I don't have much to do anyway in December. It will be fun."
He went to the fridge and took out a bowl of ice cream and served them each two scoops of ice cream for desserts.
"Tell me about the gala and what I should be wearing to go there," he said.
Elise took her ice cream and excitedly told him what she knew. It was an annual celebration held by the company to show the employees how much they were valued.
