Chapter 695
Aria and Owen gently sank onto the bed, one following the other. Aria was on top, with Owen lying beneath her.
Owen’s fingers found the curtain remote. The curtains drew shut, and the room darkened, leaving just enough light for them to barely make out each other’s expressions. Owen murmured, “Madelyn, can we turn on the lights?”
When it came to intimacy, Aria was still not as bold as Owen. She murmured, “It’s too bright.”
Owen murmured, “Then I’ll turn on a dim light.” He yearned to see her.
His breathing grew heavy, his desire for her completely unconcealed. His neck stretched taut, and his Adam’s apple stood out sharply.
With her eyes wide open, Aria nipped at Owen’s neck, then tugged his bathrobe off and let it drop to the floor.
Owen chuckled softly. “Easy there, Madelyn. It’s been too long. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“I was just tossing your robe aside,” Aria retorted.
Owen pulled her close, pressed a kiss to her lips, and murmured, “Whatever you say, darling.”
As the world spun around her, Aria sank into the mattress. Owen pulled the pillow away, took her hand that had been clutching the covers, and pressed it against his burning skin.
Owen murmured, “You can scratch me.”
Aria teased, “You sure about that?”
Owen murmured, “I’d love that.”
Aria didn’t hold back and dug her fingertips into his back.
The air grew thick with humidity as silence enveloped them. Owen reached for the nightstand but grasped empty air. He murmured, “Forgot to get them.”
Aria caught her breath and chuckled, “You’ve had a vasectomy, still worried I’ll get pregnant?”
Owen teased, “Aren’t you getting a bit too full of yourself, my queen?” He withdrew his hand, his fingers now exploring a different area.
Aria grew impatient and shot Owen a look. “Are you up for this or not? Stop making me wait.”
Owen breathed out with a soft chuckle, “Alright…” He made sure she didn’t get messy.
Afterwards, Owen bathed Aria, aired out the room, and cleaned up the mess on the floor.
Owen went back into the bathroom and didn’t come out until two hours later. Night had fully fallen.
Lily and Pearl were just about to take out the trash when they opened the door, only to find Nathan crouched right outside.
They were both startled. Lily asked, “What are you doing here?”
Nathan had been crouching for so long that his legs went numb, causing him to stumble the moment he tried to stand.

Chapter 695
Nathan let out a startled yelp as his legs suddenly gave out. Lily instinctively grabbed Nathan’s wrist, but recoiled the moment their skin touched.
Completely caught off guard, Nathan landed hard on his butt with a thud. He looked up at Lily, stunned. ‘Did she really just let go? I didn’t see that coming,’ he thought, completely caught off guard.
Lily shot him a cool look. “What are you staring at? Since when is it my job to catch you?” She thought to herself, ‘If my body hadn’t reacted before my brain, I wouldn’t have even reached out.
“No,” Nathan muttered. He tried to stand, but his legs were numb and aching, so he simply gave up.
Nathan held out the gift box he’d been hiding behind his back. “Could you please give this to Aria for me? And tell her I said happy birthday.”
It wasn’t the first time Lily had helped Nathan deliver a birthday present. Lily was about to refuse when she caught sight of Nathan’s dejected expression, the words dying in her throat. She sighed. “Alright, I’ll pass it along for you. Now scram.”
Nathan took a while to get back on his feet. He fished two small boxes out of his pocket and handed them over. “These are for you and Pearl.”
