Rosalynn felt her frustration mount.

“Are you just being difficult now? Let me go."

Brian released her hand only to pull her closer by the waist.

“I am bored. And I intend to alleviate my boredom with you."

Leaning in, he captured her lips with his own in a passionate kiss.

Startled, Rosalynn tried to protest, but Brian silenced her with another searing kiss.

Her resistance melted away as his lips moved against hers.

Brian pulled away after a while, smirking at her dazed expression. His laughter filled the room, causing Rosalynn to snap back to reality.

“What's so funny?" she asked, embarrassment mixing with annoyance.

Every time they kissed, she felt as if she was being consumed.

“Rosalynn, your response to me tells me that only I can bring you such joy."

Indignantly, Rosalynn shoved him aside.

“Don't spew nonsense!"

“ALL right, no more talk. Let's move on to the main event," Brian announced, sweeping her off her feet and heading to the bedroom.

Fighting back, Rosalynn snapped, “Do you ever think about anything else?"

"Plenty. Like how many times we should make love so you'll stop being a thorn in my side.”

Meanwhile, Karina got home after her family had finished their meal and settled on the sofa.

Seated beside Denisse, Annalise Looked serene.

"Hi, everyone. I'm back," Karina greeted, swapping her shoes for slippers.

“Karina's back! I presume you and Annalise have known each other for some time, so introductions are not necessary," Denisse addressed Karina, nodding at Annalise.

Karina smiled, gesturing to the staircase.

“Mom, I'm going to change and then join you all."
