The seconds ticked by slowly, and Richard had informed her that he would be home by 9.00PM, which was only five minutes away. Moreover, he was a man of his word, and punctuality was Typically his Achilles heel. So, Angela was sure he would be home on the dot.
Angela spent the next five minutes slowly tasting the wine in her hand, then looked down as the minute hand ticked slowly toward the number ’12’ on the face of the clock. She sighed and tolerated Richard’s slight tardiness as long as he arrived home safely. She had just begun to consider the possibility when she heard a soft beep from the door. The audible beep signified that the fingerprint was successfully read. Angcla immediately set down her glass of wine and sprinted toward the door upon hearing the door open. A man was taking off his shoes and putting on his slippers. It could only be Richard.
Angela’s lips curled into a smile as she approached him slowly and enticingly. She was proud that he was a man of his work. She appreciated that he never abandoned her or made empty promises.
“Darling. I want a hug.” she whispered as she spread licr arms wide and waited to be crnbraced. She resembles a lonely kitten who was desperate for some attention.
Richard immediately removed his coat because he did not want the dust and dirt on it to get on his precious wife. I glared at her appreciatively before extending his arms to pull her into his embrace. He pressed his check against hers and murmured next to her car, “Have you been wearing this all night? You’ll catch a cold.”
She tilted her head up and grinned mischievously at him. “Yes, but you’ll be around to take care of inc.”
He pressed his forehead against hers and said, “I have no intention of letting you catch a cold.”
Angela was carried to the couch by Richard. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him just above his jawline, and mumbled softly, “I’ve missed you.”
“Let me first take a shower. I’ll return in a flash,” he spoke softly.
She clung to him stubbornly. “Don’t. I won’t mind, and besides, you’ll have to shower afterward anyway,” she whispered coyly.

“I do.” Alla said,
“I really missed you, Captain Llovd.” She liudend h as such because it alluded to the forbidden dynamic between them when he was merely the stoic, expressionless military captain assigned to protect her.
The tension crackled in the air as she tilted her head and asked him mischievously, “Do you miss Inc, too
It Richard could, he would rip his heart out and present it to her on a silver platter. He could not stop thinking about her during his three-day outstation. Her absence had been agony for him. liis usually steely gaze softened as he looked at her indulgently and said, “Yes, I miss you very much, Mn. Lloyd
Bring me upstairs,” she commanded with a hushed tone.
He chuckled hoarsely. “I assume you don’t intend to give me a break.” He was proud that he could make her want him so much and so desperately.
Angela’s lips were pressed firmly against his as she murmured, “Not at all.” She did not leave any room for negotiation.
With a grin on Richard’s lips, he said in a deep and alluring drawl. “Better think about this carefully, Mrs. Lloyd, because you won’t be getting much sleep tonight.”
She swallowed convulsively and felt her stomach tighten in anticipation. “Take it easy tonight, big guy. Mom called me today and said we’d stop by my granddad’s place tomorrow. I don’t want to show up with love bites all over my neck.”
He laughed when he heard this. “Very well, then. I’ll just have to leave the marks somewhere no one can see it.”
She buried her face into his chest and was flustered. She said shyly, “Do whatever you want with me, Captain Lloyd.”
The city was filled with Christmas cheer the following morning.
It was 9.00AM, Angela and Richard were fully dressed, and he looked particularly dashing with her assistance. While he could probably walk the runway in a trash bag, she was a very particular dresser. She had to ensure her man looked as good as she did whenever they left the house.
Meanwhile, Richard was content to let his wife pick out his clothes. He also liked that he could snack a few kisses here and there while she straightened his shirt collar.
“Hey, you got more than enough action last night,” Angela grumbled. She cursed herself for – unleashing the beast within him the night before. It was as though she had forgotten that he could be a rogue in the heat of the moment.

Really? Maybe I should ” She was about to say, “apply some lip balm.” but she was cut oil which Richard abruptly pushed her up against the wardrobe and kissed her.

“Oh my, will you look at how much she’s blossomed since we saw her last? I wonder which young man will have the honor of marrying her,” Scarlet mused playfully.
Claire and Robert nodded in agreement as they remarked that Ruka possessed the best genes in the family.
No one noticed that Ruka was already flushed with nervousness. She pursed her lips and avoided their gaze, fearing that they would discover the secret that was consuming her.
“I tried to set her up with this nice young man the other day, but she ruined the date!” Claire clucked.
“That’s alright. Ruka still has plenty of time to go on dates,” Scarlet said this while furtively planning to make Rukaan even better match soon,
“Oh, well. We should leave if we want to make it to lunch.”
“By the way, Ruka, you’ll finally get to meet Richard and his wife. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Scarlet said cheerily.
Both families then proceeded to the Husson Residence.
Charlotte was in an excellent mood as she enjoyed the festivities at the Husson Residence. She and Harold were great fans of merry crowds in their old age.

“Mr. Husson,” Elijah interrupted the silence. “It’s time to leave for the Husson Residence.”
Ren glanced at the time on his wristwatch and smiled at a sudden thought.
On the way to the Husson Residence, Ruka fished out her phone to text Ren. She was inexplicably nervous even though she had been to the Husson Residence countless times prior to this. Are you there yet?” she sent out a text.
