Chapter 172
Zoe woke up in the morning and saw Mason right before her eyes.
He was sleeping soundly on the couch, resting his head on one hand and wrapping her waist with another. The warmth from his palm was searing…
His shirt was ruffled and his black long pants were untouched, but his belt was taken off.
Checking herself, Zoe realized that her outfits were tidy, all things considered. However, she had a hunch that her bra was taken off. That was when she saw her black lace bra stuffed in the crack of the
couch.
She blushed immediately.
It looked like she did have sex with Mason last night.
Moving ever so slightly, she tried to move off the couch, but the hand around her waist tightened its grip and pulled her back. She was pinned on the couch and their bodies were pressed tightly against each other. They were both healthy adults, after all. It wasn’t such a crazy notion that they’d be aroused in each other’s presence.
The air seemingly fizzled with erotic vibes.
Mason smacked her waist lightly and said with his eyes closed,” Don’t move! Otherwise, I might not be able to control myself from going another round with you. You won’t even have time to cry by then.”
She froze immediately and cuddled in his embrace obediently, waiting for him to cool down.
After a brief pause, he fondled her lean shoulders and stared at her

with his black eyes. “Do you want me to take responsibility for what happened last night?”
She was drunk to the point of passing out last night. In fact, she had no idea what position they did it in as well as how many rounds they explored each other’s bodies.
Honestly, she had no idea.
That might be a good thing, though. It saved her from having a load on her mind.
Propping herself up with his body, she sat upright and started
combing her hair with her lean fingers. She played the violin, so her fingers were delicate and pleasing to the eyes. Mason took in the view quietly.
Ever since he took over Lockwood Corporation, he had been toiling away at work. Never once had he wanted to just lie on the couch the way he did today. He didn’t want to do anything except appreciate the way his wife looked in the morning light.
Taking her hands in his gently, he spoke affectionately, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
She looked at the empty tequila bottle on the coffee table in a daze. She spoke after a while, “We’re both adults. There’s no responsibility to bear here! More to the point, we haven’t exactly signed the divorce papers. Doing it once isn’t really a big deal!”
Too embarrassed to even look at her black lace bra, she walked into her dressing room and put on a different one. Then, she started to tidy up her living room, which was a mess.
She was good at doing house chores. If she learned anything in the three years of their marriage, it was tidying up places and cooking.

Leaning on the couch, he lowered his gaze, looked at her calm face, and said, “Are you this debauched already? You were sobbing when you were beneath me last night. You kept saying you don’t want to do it!”
Blushing, she responded, “I was too drunk to remember anything!”
Easing off her back, he dug her underwear out from the crack of the couch and pulled Zoe to him with another hand. Giving her the underwear, he asked softly, “Did you buy this when we went to the movies that time?”
“I can’t recall.”
Lowering his head, he looked at her. “You said you’ll wear every single piece of the underwear you bought back then and have sex with me while putting them on. Well, I’m still waiting.”
Tears filled her eyes when she thought back to that moment in time. They made up for a short while. He told her that he wanted to start over and that he didn’t know how to love a lady. He promised that he’d do his best to be a good husband!
She was so naive back then. She even told him it’d take a long time for her to find the courage to love him back again. Then, she asked him if he’d still want her love and he said he’d be waiting for it!
Be that as it may, he let her down once more.
Swiping back her underwear, she said softly, “That’s not happening, Mason. Being disappointed once is more than enough!”
Raising her head slightly, she suppressed the urge to cry.
“You might think you lowered yourself to my level and slept with me. However, it’s pointless! The issues between us will always be there and I’m not about to patch things up with you just because we had

“With that said, I do owe you for helping out my dad and Ella! So, if you think last night wasn’t enough…
Turning around, she walked toward him and sat on his lap.
She knew he liked it when she did this. She also knew that he wanted. to have sex again. They’ve been married for three years. All it took was one look at him and she knew what he wanted.
She started kissing him aggressively.
Pinching her chin, he stopped her from kissing him. She said with a trembling voice, “I’ll take the birth control pills after this. I won’t have your baby. There, that’s a load off your mind!”
Mason was kind of annoyed. “What do you mean? I put on condoms last night!”
Her face turned red. She just couldn’t take it when he spoke about what they did so bluntly. After a brief pause, he calmed down and carried her to the couch. Pinning her down, he bit her lips gently, Didn’t you feel it on my shaft when we had sex last night?”
Her eyes widened.
Nibbling on her neck, he said with a husky voice, “Oh. What am I going to do with you? You’re so naive! You don’t even know that I’m lying! How am I supposed to let you out into the world with a conscience? Hmm?”
Then, he stopped touching her altogether.
Leaning on the couch, she relaxed slightly while Sherry was lying next to her, looking like it was behaving. Unable to stop herself, Zoe
brushed its fur gently.
“Woof!”
sir That brought
a smile to Zoe’s face. She looked at Mason and said, “It’s cute.”

Mason picked up the puppy and put it in her arms. Then, he leaned on top of her, almost pressing on her chest, and asked her while staring at her with a serious face, “Will you be its mommy, Zoe?”
