Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce

For a moment, the room was silent.

Finally, Chloe Reed silently took the towel and wiped his wound dry. Once she was certain no moisture remained, she applied a waterproof bandage to protect it.

Next, she led him to stand beside the shower, readjusted the water temperature, and detached the shower head to begin rinsing his body.

The water was warm, and her soft hands roamed over his body.

Walker Grant’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and the veins at his temples throbbed faintly.

’Who could possibly stand this?’

Chloe Reed tried her best to ignore certain things, but an uncontrollable heat flushed her cheeks.

Once he was thoroughly drenched, she turned to grab the body wash.

But just as she did, Walker Grant suddenly stepped forward, grabbing her by the shoulders and pinning her against the wall.

CLATTER!

The shower head in Chloe Reed’s hand fell to the floor, making a sharp noise.

Her eyes widened in shock before her brow furrowed in anger, and she started to struggle.

’Has he lost his mind?!’

’What about his shower?’

’Is he doing whatever he wants just because I can’t yell at him right now?’

’This is too much!’

’This is way too much!’

”Don’t move.”

Walker Grant’s body pressed flush against hers. He dipped his head, his hot breath ghosting over her ear.

Unable to hold back, he began to kiss and lick it.

Chloe Reed instantly felt a jolt of electricity surge through her, sending a faint tremor through her body.

”Ngh...”

An involuntary, hoarse sound escaped her lips. She immediately bit down on them to stay quiet, her struggles growing more frantic.

Her pert backside bumped against his lower abdomen, and as friction built between them, both of their breaths grew heavier.

”Chloe...”

Walker Grant called her name, his voice hoarse and filled with a tender longing.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling their bodies flush together. His voice was tinged with a pleading note. ”I want you. So, so badly. It hurts, how much I want you.”

He finished speaking and resumed kissing her neck, his touch gentle, coaxing her to surrender alongside him.

Chloe Reed’s body was trembling violently. She squeezed her eyes shut, and suddenly he was spinning her around to face him. He sought out her lips and crushed his mouth to hers.

As he searched, their noses brushed and their breaths tangled. Amid the rushing sound of the water, everything began to dissolve into chaos.

By the time he lifted her, pressing her back firmly against the wall, Chloe Reed had already melted from his kisses.

”I’ll be gentle, okay?”

He kissed the space over her heart, his question a low murmur.

Chloe Reed was soaked to the bone, so weak and pliant she could barely move. Her eyes narrowed to slits as she looked at him, his own eyes hidden behind white gauze. Then, as if moved by some unseen force, she leaned in and kissed his lips.

Walker Grant seemed to take this as encouragement, and his muscles hardened.

...

When they emerged, both of them were clean. Even with his eyes bandaged, it was clear that Walker Grant was thoroughly refreshed.

Chloe Reed called for a nurse to check Walker Grant’s wound. She only breathed a sigh of relief after the nurse confirmed everything was fine.

’She had been afraid his wound would reopen.’

’He had promised to be gentle, but he’d lost control completely.’

He’d called out her name over and over, his arms holding her so tightly it was as if he never wanted to let go, as if he wanted them to be entangled forever.

As the nurse left, she said, ”His wound hasn’t fully healed yet. He still needs to rest.”

With that, the blushing nurse scurried away.

She had come by earlier, worried that Chloe Reed might have gotten water on the wound while bathing him. But who could have predicted she’d end up hearing... what she wasn’t supposed to hear.
