I Refuse to Divorce!
Chapter 114

Curling her hair with his finger, he said somewhat lazily, “Did you earnthat money when you performed at Leslie's place? Did he pay you inthousands or tens of thousands? That can't even pay for high tea at theplaces our people are used to.”

She rested her head on his shoulder, not saying anything.

Perhaps that kind of money meant nothing to him, but it was a symbolof her courage when she decided to divorce him. It was true that shehad returned to him, but she still wanted to try to support herself asbest as she could.

She no longer wanted to be dependent on him. She never wanted toreceive another check from him after having sex with him.

He knew what she was thinking. She didn’t have to say it. He continuedto embrace her, enveloping her hands with his big palms. He held herlike that for a long time.

Eventually, she felt uneasy and freed herself. “I'm going to take a bath.”However, he held her hand, his fingers entwined with hers. Pressing hisforehead against hers, he rubbed her face with his nose. She didn’tknow how to describe the intimacy and flirtatiousness she was feelingnow.

Zoe couldn't take it anymore. Raising her head slightly, she said, “Stopit, Mason!”

Staring at her cheeks, he said with a husky voice, “Stop? Don't you likeit? Your body obviously likes it.”

He was mature enough to realize that her period had ended a long timeago. She had lied to him last night.

Her face was hot to the touch and red as a rose. She was worried thatMason would treat her roughly again. Both her dad and Mia mightheard them doing it. If that happened, she would die of embarrassment.Kissing her cheeks, he removed her outfit and caressed her gently. Hehad never been this gentle and patient before. To her surprise, he didn’teven force himself on her. He was just touching her tenderly, makingher feel good.

His face was as hot as hers as well. He pressed himself close to herbut trained his gaze on her. He wanted to look at her as shesuccumbed to pleasure.

She bit his shoulder and groaned.

Tilting her face, he kissed her and took his time with her. He was actingso tenderly right now that not even a nun could resist him.

Zoe ducked into the bathroom when the kiss was over. She was stillcaught in the moment, her legs were shaking lightly. It took a long timefor her to stop trembling.

She couldn't help herself and kept thinking of him even as sheshowered!

Given his character, he would've asked her to keep her voice down ifhe wanted to do it. He had a voracious appetite when it came to sex. Itwould've kept him up all night if he didn’t get it out of his system. Casein point, he had never held it in when they were married.

Mason was leaning on the headboard when she came out. He lookedall serious and focused.

She caught the faint scent of something familiar in the room. Her faceturned red as she guessed he had just masturbated.

She laid down next to him, worried that he'd let his lust get the better ofhim again. He lowered his head, looked at her, and asked, “How longdo you plan on staying here?”

Placing her hands on the pillow, she responded lightly, “Two, maybethree days.”

He didn't say anything about that. Then, he laid down, seeminglygetting ready to sleep. However, he held her waist possessively andthat made it hard for Zoe to fall asleep. She fidgeted from time to time.He rubbed her and said, “How about we have sex if you can't sleep?”She froze upon hearing that.

Smiling in the dark, he leaned in and whispered, “There was anemergency at work. I'll have to head out early in the morning. I'll pickyou up after work, okay?”

This was the first time he let her know his schedule for the day.However, it wasn't part of his game. It was just that in the mood he wasin at the moment, it felt right for him to tell his wife about it. Moreover,he got to observe her expression after that and it pleased him.

Zoe was an exceptionally beautiful woman. He could never get tired oflooking at her. On the other hand, he was a man and all men lovedbeautiful women.

She had her back turned to him. After a long period of silence, sheasked him, “What's the meaning of this, Mason? What do I mean toyou?"
