"Why are you so quiet?" Elise turned to Loriel after not hearing the man said anything for a good while. She opened her eyes and looked at him. Loriel didn't look relaxed as she thought he would.
Elise scooted closer to the man and touched his cheek. "What's wrong? Are you unwell? Is your headache back?"
Now, her skin touched his during such a difficult moment and Loriel had to exert all his sanity so as not to pounce on her and kiss her senseless.
If he did, he wouldn't be satisfied and would want to go all out. He had been keeping his desire to himself for a long, long time.
It was easier when he was on his own. He could masturbate and think about his wife. He was never interested in doing it with another woman. He couldn't have sex without love involved.
