ETDO Chapter 19

I buried my face c4d36175c7 in the fluffy pillow 839d77beac and inhaled deeply. The fresh bedding 3165f7bd1f the maid had e44f3e4c22 laid out this d3e16a287d morning smelled of a36814632b warm sunshine.b921dd5b8bb26526

As I rolled edf6a99efb over, wrapping the 87dd0147b7 soft blanket tightly 06abc79aaa around myself, the ce9e063aef empty space beside 44e87d5ea5 me caught my c2a1d59300 eye. Since our 3effb879d0 marriage, we 9033bbf22b had never 41a276161a been apart 9e4c5c9050 like this.6574e29051de8532

The absence of Arthur, a71642c1f8 who was always within e4d5e03fce reach, hit me hard. I gently stroked the 10ecb11246 spot where he usually 510a70be86 lay.57d810f5c974cf99

My face flushed 3ebe3e4fd5 at the thought. Imagining his toned, muscular 05be7183b1 body moving above me 53e009168a sent a wave of 09164a1e88 heat through me, and 87aa880b45 I buried my face 876eee4c7c deeper into the blankets.26be09774afe2939

I longed for f286d670b3 Arthur’s body, his 2b5ed5190e warmth, and the 0f6d314893 passionate moments we aa2cb65152 shared. Sighing, I crossed 880b048a4c my legs and e737315bc4 tossed and turned fab810052b restlessly.

We hadn’t slept b191c4f6ca apart once since b345da3fab we got married. We always went to d9c8e7f003 bed together, and every 475ad8062c night, we passionately explored 90b963880e each other’s bodies. By the 086cb5db99 time Arthur 2d73a20a47 was satisfied, bb11d82243 I was 7150a951e1 usually exhausted d8e4dbc2bb and fell e1b3f4225e asleep immediately.aeab4ee71c18ecb5

That was why I had never been this wide awake before. I must have had too much energy. That’s why it felt so strange to be lying here alone, trying to fall asleep.6235be7d55d8b360

As I pictured Arthur’s handsome face, the image of another cool, handsome man with the same features automatically appeared in my mind. I shook my head vigorously, startled.163f2dd0dbcfc46c

I mumbled 51bea34334 to myself, a832f30667 rubbing my e7bf5123b8 flushed cheeks. When Arthur would 3c6d11821b passionately pursue me 7309381aa4 every night, it 5d96b3f632 often felt overwhelming, 4cba2abddf but now I 62d26f8871 already felt empty.

Perhaps because I was 7d2a0a7f54 feeling uneasy being alone, 3fe320b49c all sorts of useless 871ffce823 thoughts bombarded my mind. I rolled around ba56f3829b restlessly, the blanket e63708766b wrapped around my c9898f6985 legs.b05e30ec5cdf834a

The rain, cc623afb10 which I 3f5a52851c thought would 7e96eb07c0 stop soon, c17b2f01df started pouring c56685a91d down even 1cadae4de9 harder in cfe316c517 the afternoon.

I couldn’t tell fc69bf8f9a if the sound aaf4130d2c was real or 6ad29f9ed0 part of a a3286ecea9 dream. I tried ea20b6fffc to focus f260461860 on my 45c5d36619 senses, but 234259f8a8 everything felt 88a938aebe hazy. I tried to 941a89105a open my heavy cffa9d992f eyelids, but it 5fc64ef576 was no use.

Then, the bed 21c16505df dipped slightly as 9a115fc2b5 if someone had 84af7ebdf1 sat down, and 2c1de24235 a cool hand 78998675d6 brushed against my c219bd76bd forehead.

The hand moved 15bfe4d1f9 past my temples, 31fbe82cc9 caressing my jawline. It trailed down my 5cfa4691bb neck, then grazed my f2cfc5fcb0 bare shoulder, brushing against 42d435344e the nightgown covering my 6303e852ab chest. Soft lips touched my 9b00934a48 shoulder.ca5b9ca67fe3e219

The hand pulled 8f6dbe89bd down the strap 610e2c52e4 of the negligee 84ebd8899a from my shoulder. A soft tongue licked 5a2ce5ce16 my skin. The hot, thick tongue a3959ed62e moved from the curve a780fce398 of my shoulder, lightly 1659776c50 licking the hollow of 2f76a1a838 my armpit, then slowly 01ee22483d descended towards my breast.e9f213674140cde8

The gentle 67cb32d096 caress felt fed6e3505f pleasant. I wanted to open 05adacc6da my eyes, but my 42410db748 whole body was limp 78fa365fdc and heavy like a 5249c33999 wet rag.
