Albert hesitated briefly.

He held her face, his heart racing. He confided in her that he hadn't been intimate with anyone in years and that he struggled to restrain himself, and as he spoke, he started unbuttoning her blouse.

When she was naked, he lost all of his self-control.

He couldn't even wait to reach the bed, eager to lavish her with attention.

He claimed her once more in this manner.

They remained silent and motionless for a while afterwards, simply embracing each other tightly.

The surroundings were hushed, with only the sound of their racing heartbeats and the occasional chirp of birds outside. Every subtle noise seemed to be heightened.

Jessie lay against his shoulder, feeling utterly drained.

She understood that even though Albert had started it all, she didn't say no, nearly allowing him to proceed as he pleased.

Maybe it was because she hadn't had such an experience in quite a while either.

They remained silent, just silently gazing at each other's faces.

Slowly, they indulged in a sweet affair. The ambiance in the room shifted from tender to passionate.

Sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, bathing the bed in a soft glow. Albert gently maneuvered Jessie onto the bed before settling beside her. He had scarcely parted from her throughout the morning.

Eventually, Jessie grew too weary to continue. She buried her face in the pillow, relinquishing control over him.

When she woke up, she felt soreness coursing through her entire body.

Despite the soreness, Jessie's mind felt clearer. She came to the realization that she had indeed slept with Albert, engaging in sexual intercourse.

Jessie covered her eyes with her hand.

The bed offered a soft, comfortable refuge, and she was thoroughly fatigued. She desperately needed rest, yet she desired to leave, or maybe a shower before that.

She had indeed slept with Albert, but she had no intention of assuming any kind of commitment, nor did she expect him to.

After showering, she stepped out of the bathroom. As she was about to dress, a pair of arms enveloped her from behind, draping a soft bath towel over her body.
