Brittany reached out and gently touched his cheek He was just as striking as ever so handsome that it made her heart flutter

Brittany glared at him Geez Horace Act your age
Horace looked down at her in his arms After last night her cheeks were flushed with life her eyes bright and lively like arose in full bloom
He kissed her lightly and smiled Well you said nothing about my age last night I remember you enjoying yourself a lot
Brittanyfroze beforemuttering,”It’sgettinglate.Timetogetup.
Horace didn t want to move He pulled her closer How about reliving last night for a bit longer
Brittany couldn the lp but admire his stamina considering his age You should pace yourself You reacting like a starving wolf who finally go this meal
“Well,it’sbeena while,”Horacereplied.”I’vebeenstarvingforovertwentyyears.”
Brittany shivered and looked at him You haven t been with any other woman all these years
Horace shook his head No
“Liar!WhataboutIda?”
Even when I was drugged last night I came crawling to you Do you really think I d have anything with her
Deep down Brittany felt touched She hadn t expected Horace to have stayed so faithful all these years though part of her still
