Chapter 1073 A Celebration Dinner
"Remind me, who watched 'reference videos,'" Damien made quotation marks in the air with his fingers, "and claimed they're able to take charge on the first night of our marriage?" Damien teased, glancing at Cherise's blushing face.
His lips curled into a smirk. "I still remember what you said back then." Damien leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You said you wanted to go on top?"
"So many years have passed since then. When's it going to happen?" He nudged her gently. Cherise's face flushed red with embarrassment, and she turned away. "Hmph, I never had the chance," she grumbled.
Some specific power dynamics had never changed since the beginning of their relationship. In bedroom matters, whether in the past or present, her initiative or his, he always became the dominant one. Truthfully, she wanted to be on top but had yet to get the chance.
But now, discussing who would be on top was not her main priority.
"Look, Steve bought corndogs for Sav," she pointed out, looking at her husband. "I'm hungry too!"
Damien chuckled, "You want to corndogs too?"
Cherise glared at him, "That's not what I meant!"
In high school, she always allowed Savannah to eat the corndogs Steve bought for her by refraining from eating any. The sight of corndogs reminded her of her attempts as Steve's wing-woman, making the cringy memories flood and kill her appetite.
"Then let's get some drumsticks," Damien suggested with an endearing smile. "There's a restaurant on the second floor of this hotel that serves drumsticks. Is that all right with you?"
She nodded in satisfaction, "Drumsticks will do!"
"I want alcohol, too!" she added.
Damien raised his eyebrows. "Alcohol?"
"Don't bluff!" Cherise said with a smile, "You treat Sav like a princess, too!"
Savannah blushed. "Don't tease me," she pleaded as she took the opposite seat from her.
Savannah's embarrassed response relieved Cherise. Her bashful reaction meant that she was getting invested in Steve's relationship. Savannah's previous relationship ended in agony, but if she stuck around Steve, Cherise knew that she could regain her footing in no time. She raised her glass for a toast and yelled, "To our reunion!"
"To our reunion!" Steve raised his glass, clinking it with Cherise's.
After a few rounds of drinks, Savannah started to feel drowsy from the effects of the alcohol and laid her head on Steve's shoulder. Suddenly, her phone rang with a video call from Stella Page. She picked it up immediately.
"Sav!" Stella's voice came through angrily. "Are you still with Trent Boult? I'm warning you, break up now!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise)
🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
