Lost in the moment, Elissa watched as Raphael drew closer step by step.

He tenderly supported her back, and then leaned in to kiss her.

His lips carried a faint scent of tobacco.

Elissa didn't mind it.

Their kiss lingered for quite some time. Afterwards, Raphael wrapped her in a bath towel... He gently dried her off, and then led her back to the bedroom where they made love.

To ensure the baby's safety, he was careful and held onto the headboard during their intimate moment.

His hand clenched tightly, the blue veins visible... and his groans filled the room, indicating his pleasure. Initially, Elissa was apprehensive due to her pregnancy, but as they continued, she relaxed more and more...

She rested her head on a soft pillow and gazed up at Raphael with tenderness in her eyes.

Her eyes shimmered with emotion as she looked at him.

Raphael returned her gaze intensely, as if he wanted to become one with Elissa... When he reached the orgasm, Raphael softly called out her name.

"Elissa... Elissa..."

After the sex, Elissa was so worn out that she simply closed her eyes and lay still on the bed.

Resting by her side, Raphael gently caressed her shoulder. Nestled against his abdomen, Elissa said softly, “Just now... I've never heard a man moan like that, Raphael."

Maybe it was the afterglow of their sex that lifted his spirits.

Raphael chuckled.

He gazed at Elissa and said tenderly, “But I really enjoyed myself just now! Didn't you enjoy it?"

Elissa indeed felt pleased with their intimate moment, but discussing it openly with a man-even her own husband-made her feel shy, so she remained silent and turned her head away.

Raphael understood her shyness and chose not to press further.

After a moment, he got out of bed and tenderly wiped her down with a warm towel. Then, with a raspy voice, he said, “I'll get us a big bathtub in the future."

Hearing this, Elissa wrapped her arms around his neck and replied, “But I quite like the service you're offering right now!"

Raphael treated Elissa with a tenderness that filled her with profound joy.

Despite their past being less than perfect and their future uncertain, at this moment, his care for her was evident and genuine. Early in the morning, he rose to prepare breakfast, a ritual that brought them together.

He expertly crafted delicious pancakes, which Elissa found absolutely delightful.

As Raphael wrapped up his breakfast, he observed Elissa's serene expression and hesitated before making a suggestion. “I might be swamped in the upcoming days, Elissa. What do you think about us hiring a live-in maid to help out?"
