After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 972

Maria's entire body trembled, overwhelmed by the unfamiliar yet intoxicating sensations coursing through her.

Her hands gripped the edge of the cabinet tightly, her toes curling involuntarily as Sidney's breath, hot and teasing, grazed her most sensitive spots. The stimulation was almost unbearable, pushing her to the edge.

Outside, the wind picked up, causing the sheer curtains on the balcony to flutter in the breeze. The soft moonlight, once filtering gently through the window, was now obscured by drifting clouds, casting the room into a dim haze.

A tear escaped the corner of Maria’s eye, her breathing rapid and uneven, her body quivering under Sidney's touch.

After what felt like an eternity, her body finally surrendered, collapsing in his arms. Sidney stood and wrapped her in a protective embrace, his strong arms carrying her toward the bathroom.

"Did that feel good?" he whispered against her ear, his voice low and breathless, the heat of his words brushing against her skin.

Maria’s chest heaved as she tried to steady her breath, her eyes meeting his with a mixture of lingering desire and curiosity. A teasing smile tugged at her lips as she murmured, "Sidney, where did you learn that?"

Maria looped her arms around his neck, her voice soft as she teased, "Not bad… you deserve a reward."

Sidney's lips curved into a smirk, and he guided her into the shower. The bathroom filled with steam, the warm water cascading over them, creating a cocoon of heat and intimacy.

Her back pressed against the cool tiles, the contrast sending a sharp twinge of discomfort through her. She clung to him, her breath hitching as she managed to whisper, "Let’s… go to the bed."

Sidney's grip tightened on her, his movements deliberate and unrelenting. After a few intense moments, he finally lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom, where they fell into each other once again, losing themselves in a night of passion.

As dawn began to creep over the horizon, Maria's eyes finally fluttered shut, exhaustion overtaking her. Just before slipping into sleep, a fleeting thought crossed her mind, “A man who's been holding back for so long is indeed a force to be reckoned with.”

Sidney, on the other hand, lay awake, his eyes fixed on the woman nestled in his arms. Satisfaction and contentment filled him as he watched her sleep, already counting the hours until morning, eager for what the day would bring.
