One more chapter for us to dig into Karen's life. Please stay tuned.
Roger didn’t want to remember, but how could he escape the question?“Kitten, I feel so ashamed to say it, but it was because of the age difference and your height. You look so small and you are so young. Anytime I’m around you, I feel old, but not anymore. You make me feel young now.” He picked a casual wear for her, a pair of shorts and a shirt. It was the right size, right above her knee, decent, and yet stunning. The color complemented her skin tone, giving her a look that was a classy version of herself. Karen was still stupefied by everything happening around her. She never cared about the age difference, and now that she realized it was the main reason Roger rejected her, she was slightly consoled.However, the last part was something she couldn’t change, so he must have accepted her as she was.“I don’t understand. It’s so comfortable and graceful,” she smiled. Roger embraced her from behind and revealed proudly, “I designed them myself.”Shock spiraled through her, and he
Roger woke up in the middle of the night, a habit he hadn’t overcome. During these times, he felt refreshed and could accomplish a lot before dawn.However, something important was on his mind this time, so he searched for a company specializing in summer huts online.Fortunately, the call connected on the first ring, so he spoke in a low tone to avoid waking the woman sleeping beside him, asking if he could chat with them.Through the chat, he made an offer they couldn't resist after selecting a summer hut that suited Karen's preferences. They arrived in less than an hour with all the necessary materials, and despite his reluctance, he had to get out of bed to supervise the work.His only motivation to leave her side was the thought that she would be happy to wake up to see it.Due to the intricate design changes he made to incorporate Karen’s preferences, around fifteen men were brought in to meet the deadline.Roger oversaw everything, arranging for the required furniture as well.
His fingers possessively caressed her back, the lather adding a slippery, silky feel to it. “Mmmm," Karen moaned into his mouth, met with his groan as he removed the wet dress completely, tossing it out of the jacuzzi into the bathroom.Karen’s fingers dug into his back, her body pressed against his as he pulled away from the kiss, instantly kissing her jaw and moving to her neck.The passion was raw, and the more she allowed him to have of her, the greater his desire for her.As his fingers trailed down her back, unhooking her bra, she froze again. "Roger, I haven’t done this before."He wasn’t surprised, as he never saw her with any guy or giving them attention, except with what Hector said about Dexter.Well, Dexter never had the chance to date Karen before he was taken away by cancer. He pulled slightly away and stared into her alluring green eyes. "I don’t care if you believe me, but neither have I."His gaze was serious, and a blend of emotions sat in her chest. "What if I don’t
“Oh, shut up and kiss me," Karen muttered, but Roger was stunned by her boldness. By the time he regained himself and cupped her jaw, she smiled sweetly and pulled away. "Too late."Roger wanted to cry. His little wife had played a fast one on him. She was slippery, unpredictable, and damn irresistible.Turning to admire the orchids once more, Roger grabbed her arm, swiftly twirling her around and trapping her safely in his arms. His lips met hers, his tongue slowly parted her soft rosy lips, making her stomach flutter.Her heart pounded as he deepened the kiss, her hand pressing the back of his neck and pulling him closer. That singular action sparked something inside him, increasing the intensity of the kiss.It was messy, desperate, and way too honest to take back. Pulling away, Karen’s face and ears were all red as she lowered her head shyly.Roger didn’t kiss her like it was the first time. He kissed her like he’d been waiting lifetimes for this exact moment.They both remembered
Karen had always thought of Roger as distant, not caring about what she liked when he kept buying her cheap roses in the past.Now, she realized that wasn’t the case. Roger had known her preferences all along and just hadn’t fulfilled them. The orchid garden in front of her felt like a dream.“This isn’t real.” Her cold heart warmed up, similar to the rays of the sun.“It is. Do you like it?” Roger asked eagerly, hoping he hadn’t gone overboard. Karen was too stunned to speak. Squatting, she began to admire the ones closest to her. They were still blooming. “How did you know?”The way she admired the blooming orchids like little babies was heartwarming, and Roger felt that all his efforts had paid off.Karen wasn’t too hard to please. She loved the simple things in life, and he made it his mission to make them memorable for her.Crouching down beside her, Roger’s voice was soft. “I make it my responsibility to know what my wife likes, and Karen, all I want is a chance to prove to you I
Karen stared wide-eyed at the door held open for her by Roger. The car was not one she saw on a daily basis, and even though she knew little about cars, she could tell that this one was out of her league.“What’s the name of the car?” she asked. Roger smiled and pointed at the logo. “Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail, and if you don’t like it, we can make a custom one for you,” he said casually. Karen was lost.She wasn’t used to this, and seeing the sleek machine before her only made her feel out of place. Even with Roger, she was used to seeing him with a cheap Toyota, so this was just too much for her.“How much is this supposed to cost?”“Just thirty-two million. Come on, sit,” he said casually, still holding the door for her. Karen felt like she was experiencing a completely different world. The first time she sat in Van’s car, she thought it was the most expensive, but this?The price already caused her jaws to drop, and this money should be used wisely, not wasted. “Isn’t it t
