Jessie bit her lip and replied, You know exactly what I mean.


    She anticipated his anger, but Albert simply offered a gentle smile and queried, So, youre suggesting I can act without ountability, is that it? Jessie remained silent.


    Albert helped himself to a bowl of soup, savoring it leisurely before regarding her with a yful expression. It seems Like youve be more open-minded. I must say, I performed quite admirably just now.


    In that case, and given our single status, we can fulfill each others needs when necessary.


    Jessie uttered a curse in frustration.


    Albert chuckled. Isnt that what you said? It was just an ident, and you dont expect me to take responsibility. The requests Im making now are all in line with your wishes.


    Jessie found herself unable to argue.


    Albert refrained from pressing further. He understood that angering her might result in her avoiding him for good.


    However, he couldnt resist adding onest remark, saying, It seems like youve endured quite a bit over the years.


    Jessie disregarded hisment.


    Albert didnt want to upset her further, but he gently touched her hand and advised, We didnt use protection earlier. If you wish to avoid pregnancy, its wise to consider contraception.


    He added, You wont need it next time though.


    Jessie remained silent, but her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she felt a twinge of self-disdain. She couldnt fathom how she had stooped to depending on Albert to satisfy her physical needs.


    On the way back, he purchased the morning-after pill for her and ensured she took it.


    Fortunately, her student had canceled afternoon sses. Jessie, feeling drained, was relieved at the prospect of resting.

    Albert drove her back to her residence.


    Arriving at her building around four in the afternoon, Albert nced up at the structure before clearing his throat. Would you like me to escort you upstairs? Jessie instinctively touched her neck.


    Her skin was tender, and even a gentle touch would easily leave a mark. Albert, being single for so long, had sumbed to desire earlier, rubbing that area of her skin vigorously.


    Recalling the mornings events, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.


    She resolved not to see Albert again-not even for sx! She shook her head and refused, No, thank you.


    Albert, sensing that things were moving too swiftly, refrained from pressing further. With Jessie now entangled with him, Albert felt she wouldnt be able to extricate herself easily. As he parked the car, Albert stepped out to open the door for her. Just as Jessie was about to depart, he tenderly touched her arm and whispered softly, Have some rest when youre home.
