Chapter 2My Precious Darling

I ran all the way home.

A thin wisp of smoke curled from the chimney. Jack was standing at the stove, focused on cooking. He must have just gotten off work; he hadn't even changed. Sweat soaked his shirt, clinging to his body and outlining the powerful, tight muscles beneath. His back was a solid wall of strength, his waist lean and powerful. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing tanned, sinewy forearms.

I swallowed hard.

Jack looked like he had endless stamina. It was one of the main reasons I’d agreed to marry him in the first place.

The comments flickered to life again:

【Look at that build! Six-foot-three of pure, rugged male lead. An athlete's waist! This guy is a certified weapon!】

【She almost got to taste the good stuff. You give her the opportunity and she still fumbles it. What a beautiful idiot.】

【Good thing she’s a fool. Our sweet female lead would never want a man another woman’s already used.】

I gritted my teeth.

Calling me a fool was one thing, but telling me my husband had to stay celibate for some so-called “female lead”?

The hell with that.

Tonight, Jack was mine.
