Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1139

Chapter 1139 A Startling Revelation
Damien emerged from the shower looking revitalized, leaning in to plant a gentle kiss on Cherise's cheeks. "Hungry?" he asked.

Cherise's quivered slightly, her voice barely a whisper. "What kind of hunger are you talking about?"

A faint chuckle escaped the man's lips. "That, my dear, hinges on where exactly Mrs. Lenoir feels hunger."

His gaze traversed over her naked form as the words left his mouth.

Swiftly tugging on the blanket around her, proceeding to wrap her entire body in it, Cherise said, "My stomach is famished."

"Prepare some oatmeal for me," she added.

Damien then laughed heartily at her response. "Very well, I'll prepare a bowl of honey oatmeal for that stomach of yours."

Attentive to the fading sounds of his receding footsteps as they traveled downstairs, Cherise slumped back vertically on the bed.

He's akin to a wolf, Cherise mused to herself.

Now in his thirties, Damien should have lost some of the vigor he possessed during his twenties, shouldn't he?

Yet, paradoxically, the older he grew, the more insatiable he became in bed, leaving her struggling to match his pace...

The faint click of the ignited stove reached her ears, soon accompanied by the gentle bubbling of oats simmering in a saucepan.

Cherise lay beneath the covers, her gaze fixed on the ceiling, a smile slowly tugging the corners of her lips. Despite enduring a night of relentless passion, tossing and turning about, and utterly depleted of energy, the simple gesture of him preparing a meal for her at this hour brought her immense joy.

The more she dwelled on it, the more buoyant her spirits became. Unable to contain her delight, she reached for her phone, eager to share her bliss with friends. As she unlocked her screen, a message from Heather appeared.

'Cherry, if my memory serves me right, Lennon had his sights set on your best friend, didn't he? So why the sudden announcement from the Belcourts today about Lennon marrying Violet?'

'Weren't they raised as siblings?'

'Even if they're not blood-related, isn't it peculiar for two individuals brought up as siblings to be wedded off?'

'And what will happen to your best friend? Why would Lennon suddenly propose to his younger sister?'
