Master's Untamed Wife

The shadow of their joined bodies could be seen moving till midnight. It was already past the time Raelle usually went to sleep. But today, Shui Xian seemed more energetic and excited than usual. Because of that, they continued to toss and turn till this late.

He even hugged her to the bathroom and helped her clean up. 

While Raelle was drying her hair, he went to gather the soiled sheets and threw them in the laundry room before changing the sheets. 

Even when he hugged her to sleep, he had a pleased smile on his lips that couldn't be hidden. He was in a good mood and anyone could see it. However, right now, there was only Raelle and only she saw him sparkling with happiness. She found this happiness of his to be quite interesting.

But before she could think deeply about this, she fell asleep. Sleeping had always been easy for her. She just had to lie down with a blank mind and close her eyes. Sleep would easily pull her in. Tonight was also no different, except for the fact that she was sleeping later than usual.

.....

When she woke up, Shui Xian was raining down kisses all over her face. "Good morning, beautiful! Did you sleep well?" His voice was lazy and seductive.

Raelle hummed in reply. Usually, she'd be the one to wake up first. Did she wake up late today? Thinking of this, Raelle looked at the wall clock and realized that she woke up right on her time. Then that meant, Shui Xian woke up earlier than usual.

"I'm right here," he pinched her chin and bit her lower lip. "Why are you in a daze? Focus!"

At this time, Shui Xian seemed childish but Raelle didn't mind as she did what he asked for. She gave him all her attention and looked at his face intently. Placing her hand on the side of his face, she asked, "Why are you up so early? You didn't get to sleep well?"

Shui Xian held her hand that was placed on his face and kissed her hand as he told her, "I slept peacefully. It's just that in my excitement, I couldn't sleep for long."

"Why are you excited?" she questioned.

"My wife is here to see me," he answered matter-of-factly.

"That's supposed to be old news by now," said Raelle. "I've been here for two nights now."

Shui Xian frowned slightly, "It might be old news to others but it's still enough to keep me excited. I got to sleep with my wife in my arms. I got to see her sleeping face first thing in the morning. How can I lose my excitement so easily?" He tapped his lips as he said, "But if you give me a kiss, I'll be even better."

He asked for it, how could she not give it?

Raelle kissed his lips and was about to get up but Shui Xian pushed her down. "You're here to see me. There is no need to work on the dot. Be lazy with me."

"You..." Raelle didn't know what to say to him. "You're teaching me wrong things."

Shui Xian kissed her forehead, "It's good to be a little bad sometimes." He paused as his eyes wandered on her body. A red silk bathrobe was clad around her. It only reached her thighs and allowed him to stare at her fair and long legs. 

He looked at the red marks littered on her collarbones and his lips hooked up in a smirk. 

He sat up and leaned against the headboard. Then he hugged her body up and made her sit on his thighs. She was facing him and could see his upper bare body clearly, right in front of her eyes. This sight early in the morning was certainly beautiful.

Shui Xian was a gorgeous man and his defined muscles made him seem like a sculpture. 

Playing with her hair, he told her, "I'll take you out today."

"You have time?" asked Raelle.

Shui Xian hummed in response, "I just have to go for a couple of hours. But I'll be back to join you at lunch. Then I'm all yours."

"You're still all mine," said Raelle certainly. 

Shui Xian chuckled at her words, "That's true. I'm still all yours. I meant that after lunch, I'll be at your service, m'lady!"

"That sounds okay," was Raelle's answer. "Then I'll wait for you here."

Shui Xian rubbed her head, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Raelle shook her head, "No. Am I supposed to?"

Shui Xian closed his eyes and sighed at her. The hand touching her head rubbed harder. 

"You're gonna drive me crazy one day," he muttered softly.

"Is that a bad thing?" she questioned.

"Not really," he said. 

Since he wasn't letting her get out of the bed, Raelle laid down her head on his chest as she looked outside the window. Her hand was placed on his shoulder. Shui Xian's fingers were still entangled with her hair.

He wasn't being lazy but with Raelle in his arms, he just didn't feel like getting up either. It's not like he had to extinguish a fire, he could laze around for a while, right? 

And if he could drag his beautiful wife to laze around with him, then why not?

It was okay to do something out of her daily schedule. She wasn't a robot. She was human and he needed to remind her of that. She was also allowed to take a breather. Following the same daily schedule monotonously wasn't necessary.

"I might be done with my work here today," said Shui Xian. 

"Then we can go back tomorrow?" asked Raelle.

"No," answered Shui Xian hurriedly. "Even if I'm done here today. We'll stay for another day. I'll take you around. Let's just consider it our second mini-honeymoon, okay?"

"Second mini-honeymoon?" repeated Raelle. She didn't think it sounded right but what about it was not exactly right? Argh! So many questions!
