Carly reflected on her actions. She realized she had been too reserved. She shouldn’t <b>have </b>waited until marriage to let Adam touch her.
He was a straight man, full of youthful vigor, and naturally<b>, </b>he <b>would </b>have desires. If those needs weren’t met, he’d inevitably be tempted by other
Women
That was how Celine had taken advantage of the situation, slipping into his life and eventually his bed.
Tonight, Carly had dropped subtle hints of her intentions by saying that she wanted to go to his vi.
He looked at her radiant and delicate face and moved his thin lips. “I <b>have </b>to work overtime tonight. I don’t have time to apany you. I’ll get the driver to send you home, okay? Be a good girl”
