Beneath The Veil Of Desire

The Promise ☄️

Heaven awoke feeling joyous and spirited. Her eyes slowly opened, and as her gaze shifted, she noticed Jacob still peacefully asleep beside her. Her thoughts quickly drifted back to the prank she had played on him three hours earlier, applying makeup to his slumbering face.

A mischievous grin spread across her face as she contemplated the sight of his perfect, innocent expression while he slept. She couldn't help but entertain a devious thought. "Hmm," she whispered to herself, "the beauty is too much. I need to do something to reduce it!"

Suppressing her laughter, she fetched her makeup supplies-a touch of eyeliner, red lipstick, and eyeshadows. With a playful giggle, she began her artistic endeavor, applying eyeliner to his eyes and lashes, and carefully adding eyeshadows to enhance his features. Finally, she couldn't resist the temptation and applied red lipstick to his lips.

Her heart raced with a mixture of amusement and anticipation. She had turned him into a canvas for her creativity. Satisfied with her work, she returned to bed, feigning slumber while waiting for Jacob to wake up.

It didn't take long. Jacob stirred, his lips brushing her forehead, nose, and chin with gentle kisses. Heaven's cheeks flushed as she couldn't contain her excitement.

Jacob withdrew, his eyes meeting hers. Her blush deepened as he got up and headed straight for the bathroom.

Suddenly, Heaven felt a rush of nerves. She questioned her audacity and feared the consequences of her actions. Her heart raced, and she whispered to herself, "God, why did I dare to do that? What pushed me?"

She waited anxiously, wondering how Jacob would react.

Moments later, a scream echoed from the bathroom. Heaven couldn't contain her laughter as she heard Jacob's surprised reaction. He emerged from the bathroom, his face sporting the unexpected makeup.

Still laughing, she couldn't resist teasing him, "I couldn't help it! You looked too perfect and innocent while sleeping."

Jacob's expression was a mix of confusion and annoyance as he questioned her about the makeup on his face.

Heaven laughed even harder, unable to control her amusement, and her friend, her husband, overheard her joyous outburst.

He looked at her, realizing that he had never seen her laugh so heartily or at something like this.

"Hmm, Heaven?" he said, "You are the culprit!"

Unable to hold back, Jacob reached out, grabbing her lips and pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss. Heaven responded somehow willingly, tasting every corner of his mouth, the kiss filled with sweetness and longing.

As they pulled away, both of them were left breathless, and Jacob moaned in pleasure. Heaven's eyes met his, and she could see the intensity of his desire.

"Heaven," he called her name, his voice filled with longing.

She replied, blushing deeply, "Hmm, Jacob?"

"You know what, Heaven? Whenever you say my name from your beautiful lips, I fall in love with my name," he confessed, his eyes filled with adoration.

With a shy smile, she looked up at him, her heart swelling with affection.

Jacob changed the subject, "Heaven, get ready! After breakfast, I want to take you out somewhere."

Curious, she inquired, "Where, Jacob?"

But Jacob simply smiled mysteriously, refusing to reveal the surprise.

In the car, on their way to the undisclosed location, Heaven couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
