Chapter 17: A New Beginning

Chapter 17: A New Beginning As they finished drying off, Peach couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over her. Mario wrapped a towel around his waist, his eyes never leaving hers as he smiled. The intimacy of the moment still lingered, and Peach felt her heart swell with love for the man standing in front of her. Mario walked over to the sink, grabbing a comb from the counter and running it through his hair. Peach watched him, her eyes tracing the contours of his body, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of desire. She knew that they had just made love, but she couldn't help but want him again. As Mario finished combing his hair, he turned to Peach, his eyes locking onto hers. "So, what do you think we should do now?" he asked, his voice low and husky. Peach smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. She thought for a moment, her mind racing with possibilities. "Well, I think we should eat something," she said, her voice playful. "I'm starving." Mario chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I think that can be arranged," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But first, don't you think we should talk about what's going on in the kingdom?" Peach's expression turned serious, and she nodded. "You're right," she said, her voice somber. "We can't just ignore the fact that Bowser is still out there, causing trouble." Mario's face darkened, his eyes clouding over with concern. "I know," he said, his voice tight with tension. "But I have a plan. We can work together to take him down, once and for all." Peach's eyes lit up with excitement, and she took a step closer to Mario. "I love it," she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "Let's do it." Mario smiled, his eyes shining with determination. "Okay," he said, his voice firm. "But first, let's eat. I know just the place to go." Peach smiled, her stomach growling in anticipation. "Lead the way," she said, her voice playful. As they walked out of the bathroom, Peach couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. She knew that their love was still new, but she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, as long as Mario was by her side.
