Chapter 39: Morning Intimacy and Parting Ways

Ellara prepared a hearty breakfast for Seiji, along with freshly brewed coffee. They sat at the table, enjoying the meal and each other's company. Despite their passionate night, the morning felt comfortable and intimate.

As they ate, Ellara leaned over and planted a soft kiss on Seiji's lips. "I think it's time for you to leave," she said, her voice gentle but firm. "I don't want anyone to find out about this. I'm already married, and having another man here could raise suspicions."

Seiji nodded, understanding her concerns. He stood and pulled her into his arms. "Of course, my dear," he replied, his voice warm. "But know that I can't wait to see you again."

Ellara hugged him back, her body pressing against his, feeling his muscles. "You can meet me at my store anytime," she whispered, her breath warm on his neck. "But today, I'll be closing the shop. I need time to recover."
