Chapter 94: A Common Flaw in Men
That night, Dr. Maya and Mark seemed like a couple who had endured a long-distance relationship for years and had finally met.
Their passion was instantly ignited. They longed for each other, sought each other out, and indulged in their desires and love. For the entire night, Mark engaged in three intense rounds of intimacy until he could no longer continue.
Though they didn't exchange many words, it felt as if all their emotional barriers had been removed after that night. Mark no longer had any conflicted feelings towards Dr. Maya.
Dr. Maya, in turn, was no longer cold and hostile towards Mark. It was as if the long - standing animosity and impatience between them had vanished overnight.
They returned to the state of mind they had before Grace came to Germany, truly accepting each other. The night was a release for both their bodies and souls.
It wasn't until seven in the morning that Mark was awakened by his phone alarm.
As he opened his eyes, he saw Dr. Maya, naked and cuddled in his arms, sleeping soundly like a little kitten, no longer the willful and capricious person she used to be.
Seeing Dr. Maya in this state, a pang of heartache flickered across Mark's face.
After all, she was still a woman. The betrayal of her husband and the upheaval in her family had left their mark. No matter how strong she tried to appear, she was still a woman with a vulnerable side beneath her strength.
At that moment, Dr. Maya, lying in Mark's arms, truly resembled a wounded fledgling cat, quietly and stubbornly licking its wounds.
Mark gazed at the sleeping Dr. Maya, her even breathing and slightly flushed cheeks seemed to tell the story of the wild and intense night they had. He couldn't help but reach out and tuck a strand of hair from Dr. Maya's cheek behind her ear.
At this moment, Mark's mind was no longer occupied by Grace. It was filled with thoughts of Dr. Maya. Looking at her sleeping face, he felt an extraordinary sweetness.
On the other side, Dr. Maya had already woken up the moment Mark tucked the strand of hair behind her ear. At first, her eyes were still a bit dazed when she opened them.
Then, the daze gradually cleared and turned into shyness. She glanced at Mark and, finding him looking at her intently, she lowered her eyelids.
"Are you awake?"
This short sentence was no longer willful and capricious as before, but exceptionally gentle.
"Mm - hmm!"
Mark responded softly. His hand moved from Dr. Maya's cheek and rested on her delicate breasts, gently kneading them with his fingers.
Dr. Maya didn't speak or stop him. She just snuggled closer to Mark. Mark, in turn, wrapped his arms tightly around Dr. Maya and held her without saying a word.
After they held each other for a long time, Dr. Maya gently pushed him and said to Mark, who was basking in the warmth with his eyes slightly narrowed, "Okay, that's enough. Otherwise, we'll be late!"
"Oh... right, right!"
Mark nodded hastily, kissed Dr. Maya's forehead, and got out of bed. After they finished washing up, they took the room card and planned to go downstairs to the front desk to check out.
Mark had thought that at this early hour, they would be the only ones checking out early. But as soon as the elevator doors opened, there was another couple.
The man looked to be around Mark's age. The woman, on the other hand, was clearly much younger, seemingly a recent graduate. She was dressed in a fresh style, with cute and playful features, and had an air and looks that were on par with Dr. Maya.
Their eyes met, and then Mark nodded at the man beside him. They were all adults. Meeting in a hotel was not such an awkward thing. After all, everyone understood why people came to a hotel.
The two men exchanged smiles and then stepped into the elevator. It seemed that this couple was a young pair planning to get married. Inside the elevator, the girl standing behind Mark and Dr. Maya sweetly linked her arm with the boy's and rested her head on his shoulder, saying, "David, let's stay at Potsdamer Platz tonight. Take some photos for me!"
"Sure!"
The boy smiled and didn't refuse the girl's request. Upon hearing this, Mark felt a pang of jealousy. Potsdamer Platz in Berlin was a symbol of the liveliest and most prosperous place in the world.
Especially at night, with its constant flow of people and vehicles, dazzling LED lights and advertising screens, it was synonymous with "the highest quality and taste."
Many people could visit Berlin without seeing the Berlin Cathedral, but they definitely couldn't miss Potsdamer Platz.
Since Grace had arrived in Berlin, Mark seemed to have never taken her to Potsdamer Platz, except for a shopping mall. He even left her alone in the apartment last night without returning home.
Thinking of all this, Mark couldn't help but feel downhearted. However, he concealed his feelings well and didn't let Dr. Maya notice.
As the elevator reached the ground floor, Mark and Dr. Maya walked out in a composed manner and checked out.
During the process, Mark couldn't help but glance at the pretty girl a few more times.
Men, after all, can't help but pay attention to beautiful women.
It's a common flaw in men.
While signing the hotel bill, Mark noticed that the girl's name was quite pleasant--Lisa Moore!
