It was drizzling outside. By the time I arrived home in the rain, it was late at night.

Eric had come home before me, and he stared at me anxiously.

    Meanwhile, Eric went ahead to see Willow."You're getting married to my sister tomorrow. What's wrong with accompanying me today, Eric?”"Besides, don't you love me best in bed?"Willow was lying in bed with her arms around Eric's neck, looking seductively at him.Eric laughed and kissed Willow hard on the lips."Be a good girl and I'll give you anything you want."Willow laughed sensuously and flipped over to get on top of Eric."Break up with Whitney if you don't love her. Marry me and I'll satisfy you day and night."Eric frowned at her words. "No one loves Whitney more than I do.
