Right now, he really wanted to make love to Alexis.

Whenever Alexis was the one taking the initiative in their intimacy, it always turned Leonel on immensely, leaving him unable to think straight.

He didn't ask her why, nor did he struggle in any way. Instead, he quickly embraced her and kissed her even deeper.

They kissed each other so passionately that they stumbled all the way to the bed. Leonel pushed her down and it quickly graduated into a fervent lovemaking session. Leonel hadn't experienced such feeling in a very long time. All of a sudden, he felt young again.

But he soon realized that Alexis didn't seem to really feel anything.

She was so sweet and soft, but her body was not really responding as it should.

“Just relax," Leonel said with a slightly hoarse voice. “Do you remember how happy we used to be?"

The fact that she had taken the initiative today had sparked hope in his heart.

He now felt that perhaps they would be able to get through this rough patch.

At this point, Alexis slowly opened her eyes, looking at Leonel with great tenderness.

After staring at him for a moment, she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck. “I don't mind the pain," she whispered, “but if it bothers you, there's a bottle of lubricant on the nightstand. I bought it recently."

Leonel held himself up with his arms on either side of her, feeling somewhat uneasy.

But he tried to hide it by leaning down to give her a kiss on her nose. “Why do you have that on your nightstand?" he asked in an enticing tone. "You're tempting me, Alexis."

Alexis looked up at him and replied in a seductive tone, "So, are you tempted?"

Of course, Leonel was.

Without hesitation, he stretched his hand towards the nightstand and grabbed the lubricant. He hadn't used such a thing before, so his movements were somewhat clumsy. Also, it had been a long time since they had been intimate, so he was feeling very nervous.

As he prepared to begin the process, he looked at Alexis’ restrained expression and paused.

"Can you really forget about what happened in the past?" he said in her ear. "Alexis, I don't want you to force yourself at all. If I was not the one with you, you probably wouldn't need this to get ready."

At this point, Leonel's sweat-soaked skin had turned quite cold.

He slowly rolled off her and was about to get off the bed.
