Dana swung the frying spoon in front of Sophia’s face, snapping her out of her thoughts."Your drool is about to drip," Dana whispered teasingly.Sophia instinctively wiped her mouth, only to realize Dana was joking. The middle-aged woman chuckled in amusement."Sophie? Did you cook something?" Albert’s voice broke the silence, his tone laced with surprise.Sophia shook her head, denying it. Albert’s horrified tone stung her a little, so she made him a cup of warm tea to help ease his hangover from the night before."How are you feeling?" Sophia asked, placing the tea cup in front of him.Albert smiled and muttered a thank you. "I’m fine," he replied.

The ground was still damp, but the sun's rays persisted, breaking through the gray clouds and forming a rainbow arching between them.Sophia could only admire the scene from behind the fogged-up window, her breath creating condensation on the glass. Her hand felt cold as she pressed it against the surface, as if trying to reach for the world beyond.It must be wonderful to take a stroll outside after the rain, she thought. The crisp, cool air would welcome her immediately. But even indoors, the petrichor still lingered, filling the space. She inhaled deeply, savoring the scent.“Do you want to do it outside?” came a voice from behind her.

The rest… comes from my imagination.”Sophia was stunned, her jaw practically dropp

"Can... can I take off this blindfold?" Sophia asked in a small voice.There was no answer.Sophia grew increasingly anxious and worried."Albert... did I make a mistake? If so, please don't do this. Let's talk this through," Sophia almost pleaded like a child, tears already welling up in her eyes.But again, there was no response."Albert..."

Their laughter from earlier has now been replaced by the sounds of moan and gasps, echoing in unison. No more playful banter escaping their lips, no more teasing smiles, or shy glances. All their senses are now solely focused on what they possess in that very moment. And all that remains is the burning sensation beneath their heated skin, rubbing against each other, feeling each other's presence.The sound of pleasure escaped Sophia's lips as she experienced her first release. She squirmed on the red velvet sofa, it's smooth surface now tickling the sensitive skin on her back, heightened by every touch, especially by the skilled hands of the man above her.Albert stood tall with his powerful frame, completely bare, just as Sophia was.
