"Does it say you're not allowed to have fun in the bible?"
"No,"
"Then what's the matter, Em?" she said, dragging her finger down my chest, pausing at the first button of my shirt.
"What you are referring to is a sin. A deadly sin,"
"A sin you've committed before,"
"A sin I've apologized for,"
"A sin you can apologize for again," she whispered against my lips, the softness reaching my senses, causing a moment of uncertainty. "A sin with great rewards," she said, her lips skimming over my jaw, towards my ear, where she licked the shell, her voice echoing in my head, as she placed a light kiss on my neck. My breath hitched, my hand slightly tightening on her hip...
"You're not putting up much of a fight, Emrys. Why's that?"

When he awoke, he decided enough was enough and got on the straight and narrow. He found God, apologized for the life he lived, and has now been living in solitude, sometimes feeling like an imposter in his own skin. For 5 years, he's dedicated his life to working and staying out of the way. Work and Home were his only options. He closed off all aspects of fun in life until he met her.

After meeting Emerys, she's allowed to experience love in its purest form: a man willing to do whatever just to call her his.
