Edwin fastened it around her neck, whispering, "I picked it out in Duefron just for you."

Laura was enchanted by it.

She looked up at Edwin, wanting to ask about their future, if they were truly meant to be together forever.

She was indeed inexperienced, but she could also tell that she was Edwin's first.

Their first time together had been a mix of pain and discovery.

And Edwin... he had been so careful with her.

But what about what lay ahead? Would there be others? Could she have him all to herself till the very end?

Laura hesitated to voice her fears, afraid of the answers she might receive.

Edwin gently touched her nose, teasing, "You worry too much."

Laura's cheeks flushed.

Outside, Bodhi began setting off fireworks. A golden champagne firework lit up the sky. Amidst the display, Edwin and Laura shared a long, passionate kiss. Her body trembled slightly, and he relaxed his embrace just a touch.

He kissed her again, softly coaxing, "Call me honey, Laura."

Laura felt shy and hesitated.

But Edwin had his ways of persuading her.

The relaxed atmosphere lent itself to them exploring their desires.

Laura found herself softly yielding under his persistent kisses, her attire becoming undone, her petite frame melting under his touch.

Edwin was burning with desire as well.

He whispered to her, his voice low and husky, "Call me honey."

Laura gazed at him, her eyes brimming with emotion.

Suddenly, Edwin nuzzled into her neck, continuing his gentle teasing.
