But Laura refused to move.

Edwin observed her for a moment before laughing suddenly.

“You're acting just like a wife."

Laura's cheeks turned a light shade of red.

"I'm worried about you.

You shouldn't make fun of me like that."

Her gentle rebuke only made her more endearing to Edwin. He wished he could take her somewhere secluded to tease and please her without end.

Yet, he also wanted to spend this night with her and their families.

Resigned, Edwin settled in the passenger seat, watching Laura drive skillfully. He asked softly, "When did you learn to drive? I've never seen you behind the wheel."

Laura replied, pressing her Lips together, "I learned at 18 but never really liked driving."

Edwin nodded in understanding.

At a red light, he reached out to hold her hand, but Laura gently pulled away.

“I'm driving!"

Edwin then lightly grasped her chin and leaned in for a kiss...

Laura froze, their faces inches apart.

His skin felt hot, and so does his tongue.

His playful teasing forced a response from her.

Edwin chuckled softly, deepening the kiss.

Laura, inexperienced, tapped his shoulder, making soft protesting sounds.

Eventually, Edwin released her.
