The afterglow of passion lingered. Esme, nestled in Silas's arms, radiated contentment. Her face was radiant with a post-orgasmic glow, a serene smile playing on her lips.
However, Silas's expression was tinged with melancholy. The impending separation weighed on his heart and overshadowed their intimate moment.
"Esme!"
"Mm…" she responded with a hum, her eyes half-closed in blissful relaxation.
"How about you spend a few days with your parents?" he ventured tentatively.
Esme's head snapped up, surprise etched on her face. She searched his eyes, trying to understand the sudden proposal.
"The driver will take you there," he added, his fingers stroking her hair in a comforting gesture.
"But I want to be with you every moment," she countered, her smile faltering slightly.
