Cecilia couldn't help but wonder if that shirt could indeed be worn after what it had been through.

She felt that he was so shameless. In the laundry room, Mark appeared gentle as he carried out these tasks.

He had been busy for the past few days and was tired, but being able to spend this time with her and embracing her like this seemed to have washed away the tiredness from his body,

What remained was contentment. Subsequently, he handed her the clean underwear.

In reality, there were other pairs of her underwear here, but she hadn't worn them in years, claiming she was afraid of little bugs.

Mark refrained from making any obscene remarks and handed her the clean underwear.

Cecilia accepted it and put it on beneath the covers.

It was late at night, and Mark gently touched her head, asking, "Do you want to chat for a while or go to sleep?"

Cecilia didn't respond and simply lay down. Mark smiled, understanding her silence.

He leaned close to her ear and softly said, "I'll step outside for a cigarette. I'll be back to keep you company."

Cecilia paid him no attention.

He didn't become angry. As he was about to rise and leave, his arm was gently grasped.

In a soft voice, Cecilia said, "Don't go."

Mark looked at Cecilia's tender and slender arm. She was only draped in his shirt, and as she lifted her arm, a large expanse of skin was revealed.

It had been a while since he'd been intimate, and twice was not nearly enough to satisfy his desires.

So, he slipped back beneath the covers and resumed caressing her body.

Cecilia struggled briefly but was unsuccessful. She blushed profusely in his embrace and exclaimed, show some restraint." hat's sufficient. At your age, you ought to

Mark was particularly sensitive about his age, and yet she continued to bring it up. So, he wasn't going to let her go that easily.

Cecilia had no idea just how many times he made love to her throughout the entire night.

After a night of intimacy, their relationship seemed to revert to the past.

Mark had noticed that Cecilia was somewhat distant when he saw her last time, but now, she was much more compliant and affectionate.
