They made love into the night, slowly and gently, enjoying every second of it to the fullest.

It was hard to explain, but tonight, the sex felt so much more fulfilling for both Mars and Emmelyn.

In every touch, caress, thrust, there was no obligation to procreate, only love and more love.

Also, the fact that they had bound themselves to each other willingly, to be each other's better half, in good times and bad, in sickness and health, through ups and downs...

Mars knew that he would love her and devote his life to her, and make her and their children happy, even before they got married.

However, there was something about spoken vows that made things different. At least for him. When he uttered his vow, he meant every word.

Having those people witness their declaration of love made things feel so special and solemn.

Now, there is no going back.

You are stuck with me forever, he thought lovingly as he kissed her forehead one last time after they ended their sweet lovemaking.

Mars pulled Emmelyn into his embrace and closed his eyes.

The candles had long died, leaving behind only the faint sweet vanilla, musk, and cedar scent in the air, with a hint of blooming roses from the flower petals scattered on the floor.

"Good morning, wifey."

Emmelyn could swear that waking up to these words was the best thing in the world!

She opened her eyes and turned around to find her handsome husband looking at her with an adoring look in his eyes.

"Hey... good morning," she replied with a lazy voice. Her long lashes fluttered, trying to adjust her vision to their surrounding.

It was still dark, but she could hear the sounds of birds chirping from outside their windows. Emmelyn predicted that they had slept through all morning because of the vigorous lovemaking they did before they slept.

Luckily, Lily was understanding and prepared a thick curtain to block the sunlight from peeking through the windows, so the couple could get their much-needed rest.

Mars could see her perfectly, even under such dim lighting. He was admiring the beauty in his embrace incessantly while thanking his lucky stars that he was fated and mated to this woman.

His hands slowly slipped under the blanket and caressed Emmelyn's belly. He loved that they were still naked under the covers so he could get easy access to her skin.

Emmelyn could hear the husky voice now greeted their child lovingly, "Good morning, baby. Hope you slept well."

Emmelyn was amused by his action. She touched his cheek and smiled, "Do you think the baby can hear you?"

"Do you think the baby can't hear me?" Mars asked back.

Emmelyn shrugged. "I don't know. I've never been pregnant before. I also never heard anyone talking to babies that way."

"Well.. unless you are very sure that babies cannot hear their father talking to them from outside, then I will keep talking to this little one," Mars smiled broadly before he claimed her lips and moved his hands higher to knead her breasts.

"Aaah..." Emmelyn closed her eyes and arched her back from the sudden stimulation.

She was pleasantly surprised when something hard and warm poked her lower body.

Her naughty hands immediately touched Mars' hardness and caressed it with a regular movement, going up and down.

Now, it was the man who was pleasantly surprised.

He removed his lips from hers and looked at her with eyes filled with lust.

He knew she loved him back and she proved it with actions, over and over again. This little thing was one of them.

"Breakfast?" Emmelyn asked him with a mischievous smile. Her eyes glint playfully and Mars immediately understood what she meant by breakfast.

He nodded and grinned from ear to ear. He said playfully, "I want YOU for breakfast."

"Oh, but I want YOU for breakfast," Emmelyn retorted with a big smile. "I want to taste you too. It's not fair that you get to eat me last night but I didn't get the chance to do the same."

Right at that moment, Mars' cheeks flushed and his face felt hot. This had never happened during his 27 years on earth.

Did he actually become shy when she said she wanted to eat him?

This woman and her bluntness were so adorable, he thought to himself.

Emmelyn was surprised to see his reddened cheeks. What was happening here? She was wondering. Did this manly man turn shy?

She chuckled at that thought. He was so endearing. It made her want to eat him even more.

"Tell you what..." she whispered and bit the corner of her lower lip seductively. "There is one position that we have never tried..."

Mars was enamored by her seduction. To think that he was her first and only experience, but she could act like a seductress, amused him.

Emmelyn was truly a woman with many talents.

"What do you have in mind?" Mars asked in a low voice. His tone was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Was she thinking what he was thinking?

Emmelyn licked her lips and motioned him to move his ear closer so she could whisper her sexy plan. Mars' chest palpitated and he felt a surge of desire engulf his whole body. He tilted his head so Emmelyn could whisper to his ear.

"I want us to...." Emmelyn ended her request with a seductive soft laugh that immediately made her husband's desire go through the roof.

The man swallowed.

Gosh..! She really was thinking what he was thinking!!

The man looked at Emmelyn with widened eyes and clearly happy expression.

Gosh, he loved this woman!

So fucking much!

To be honest, he also had thought about doing this with her... he was just waiting for the right moment to do it. But now, she actually suggested the idea?

He was truly a lucky man!

"What do you think?" Emmelyn asked.

Mars didn't answer. Instead, he claimed her lips greedily and kissed her more passionately than before.

With one hand, he yanked the blanket from their bodies and tossed it on the floor, then he traced her skin hungrily with kisses and soft bites from her neck, down to her breasts, and then her tummy.

He stopped there to kiss the child in her womb, and then he continued his kisses to the beautiful place between her legs.
