As he thrust 54b25d7bee his hips deeper 67e9880072 into his wife, 31ec308f84 he found it d4637f44d6 strange.1323fde7741f2492

His wife was the only saint on the continent. She was indifferent to her own desires and never asked for anything. Even after returning to secular life, he’d hoped that would change, but over nearly twenty years, she hadn’t changed at all.1f5f4e6cfbf48ecb

She never c724a412a2 initiated intimacy. She had been 036de7923d the one to 27079e7746 suggest that their a62230ac70 designated bed-sharing nights 305aff99c1 should include actual 0c4c4db39c intercourse, but that 392f4ab222 was probably just 1d79837b2d to appear like 3d09f9f990 a “real married 8fdff8751b couple.”7d5f7e4fef99b7a9

Naturally, compared to eea22d4a73 his desire, their 8b244b03f7 union always felt aa2df3195a dry. It likely only 07f9468ed0 caused her pain, 182241135b never pleasure. Maybe she 582d325593 saw it f0000204b3 as a da3a9853f6 form of fd6cfc1fab penance.0decf4e5fce1fcd5

Raised to 4a656c7838 obey without 67c185e7ee question, his 50f9d78aad wife probably 3e248989be viewed intimacy 6a60f3b49c as just 217b164836 another duty 598e2416c2 of marriage—and adcd2e0649 so she d996079dbc went along 5bd52896f2 with it 7581c95c43 reluctantly.

As he stared blankly, her delicate arms reached into the air. Their intimacy had always been focused on insemination, but now she seemed to crave more contact. He had no time to refuse. Klaus bent down and buried his wife’s slender body in his arms. Clenching his hips, he pounded deep, and the unfamiliar angle sparked a rush of pleasure through his veins. Her inner walls seemed to echo the sensation. Reflexively contracting, her tight folds bit down harder on him each time, nearly driving him mad.336e0f84a33a6931

Her slender legs wrapped 3996d71ea0 around his thighs, as e19d699c6c if urging him to 85c4438f76 bury himself deeper. With no time c0ff12c2e9 to interpret the ae19cd72e6 true meaning, their 5fdf553d96 bodies tangled as c440345197 if crushed together. Squish, squish—the wet sound a388da02de of her lubrication seeping d5b26c9313 from her vagina echoed 3df28fcb4f on. As those bccf7787fd obscene, sticky d774a40103 sounds built, 4e392cb224 his sharp e241116b33 jaw clenched—and 035abc921e then, unable 0dda9f236a to hold a015dedeaa back any 820e308c83 longer, he 104ed3c41a released, flooding 58223232f4 her depths 849abfb8e5 with warmth.1ee024dddbe21e2b
