298 Requited Love

"Emma ... I think you already know how I feel for you. All my life ... I just love you. You are the only woman in my life," Therius said in a gentle voice.

He raised his hand as if he wanted to rub Emma's hair. However, of course, his hand stopped in mid-air because he could not touch the girl.

"I know," said Emma. She lowered her head. Ah ... she wanted to tell Therius back that she loved him too, but she didn't know how to convey it.

"I can't wait to see you again," Therius said again. "Every night, I have to drink wine to help me sleep because I'm not used to sleeping without your body in my arms. I think, being married to you these past few months has spoiled me."

Emma's chest was pounding as Therius talked at length about his feelings for Emma and how much he missed her body beside him.
