Chapter 72
As soon as Grace entered the hall, Shane pulled her into the stairwell, pressing her against the wall, his warm breath on her face. This was the first time she was this close to Shane, and it felt like all she had to do was look up and their lips would meet.
“Is he the man? What did you two talk about?”
În the dim light, Grace saw his nose was red, and his eyes were filled with uncase. Suddenly, she felt a slight twinge in her heart. Over the past month, Shane had been nothing but good to her, never asking about her past. If Antonio hadn’t shown up and Shane hadn’t had any drinks, he would probably have kept his feelings bottled up for the rest of his life.
Grace stood on tiptoe, gently touching his lips.
“He told me he regrets it and wants me to forgive him, but I…”
Before Grace could finish, Shane kissed her aggressively. A moment ago, when he realized Grace wasn’t around, his heart skipped a beat. He was afraid Grace would divorce him and get back together with that jerk.
Their kiss was awkward but filled with passion. Grace’s hand rested on his back, both a comfort and a sign of deep affection.
“Grace, can we go home?”
Shane carried Grace in his arms, his stomach filled with butterflies. Hist desire for her was stronger than ever before.
Antonio chased over, only to see Shane leaving with Grace in his arms. Tears welled up in Antonio’s eyes. It seemed like he and Grace had missed out on each other again. The ring dug into his palm, but he felt no pain. He wasn’t ready to give up yet.
“Shane, are you jealous?”
Back home, Shane rushed into the bedroom with Grace in his arms. Seeing his reddened eyes, Grace asked with concern.
“Yes, I’m jealous. So, Mrs. Larson, how are you gonna make it up to me?”
Shane had held back before because Grace was still recovering. However, after Antonio’s appearance today, he couldn’t wait anymore. Grace blushed as she began to undress him. She had no experience in this. The one time with Antonio had been painful, but she knew this day would eventually come. She kissed Shane’s body gently, clumsily, yet igniting his most primal desires. Shane rolled over and pinned her beneath him.
His voice hoarse as he asked, “Grace, may I?”
Grace nodded, her cheeks as red as tomatoes. The next second, Shane kissed her aggressively. He had waited for this moment for so long. But then, he heard Grace’s painful moan and frowned in surprise.
“You…”
Grace pressed her lips together, avoiding his gaze.
“Shane, I have no experience. The only time was when Antonio got drunk, so it still hurts a bit.”
Shane’s heart ached, and he held her tightly, slowing his pace to accommodate her. He hadn’t expected that Grace and Antonio hadn’t truly had sex after living together for three years.
He hated himself for listening to his parents and going abroad. If he hadn’t left for so many years, Grace wouldn’t have been hurt so much.
Afterward, Grace lay in Shane’s arms, sore all over.
“Shane, are you still jealous?”

Shane smiled, rolling over for another passionate kiss. He didn’t care
about her past as long as Grace loved him.
