His anger flared further.

It’s my fault—I shouldn’t have opened up to her.

“Do not look at me with pity!” he seethed.

“I am?—”

“Ava, do you know what I have realized?” he suddenly asked, taking menacing steps towards her.

Ava did not look terrified or even scared of him. She simply shook her head.

“You are the pitiful one!” he snapped, jabbing a finger at her with each word.

She looked hurt.

“Do you know why you are so pitiful?” he jeered.

Her eyes looked sad.

“Because you are my wife, and I can do with you whatever I please whenever I want!” he snarled. “You are my property. I can have my way with you anytime.”

Edwin regretted the words the moment they left his lips. However, it was too late to take them back.

Ava took deliberate, measured steps towards him, an unreadable look on her face. He expected her to slap him, yell at him, or do anything else to express her anger. However, what she did next surprised him even further.

She took one last step towards him and then leaned in, kissing him fully on the lips.

Edwin froze. His lips refused to move as she kissed him passionately.

When she finally let go, her cheeks were flushed, and a smile was playing on her lips.

“Ava…” he breathed.

“Will you do it now, then?” she asked.

“Do what?” He frowned.

“Have your way with me. You said that you can have your way with me whenever you want.”

For a second time, Edwin froze.

Is she truly offering herself to me now?

Despite the situation, the thought of it still stirred his blood and made his cock twitch.

How could she not be mad at him after what he had said?

“You are right, Edwin,” she whispered, moving her hands to the laces at the back of her dress. “You can do to me whatever you please whenever you please.”

She tugged at the ties haphazardly and then pulled her dress over her head, remaining in only her undergarments.

“Now, what will you do?” she asked, resting her hands on his shoulders.

She leaned in until he could feel her breath on his lips, her eyes dark and sensual.

It was clear to Edwin that she wanted him.

It was rather ironic that after months of telling her that she would eventually give in and beg him to take her, it was finally happening, even though the circumstances were rather strange.
