Stefan was tasked to find out what's bothering his lovely wife but when he got inside their room, Cayenne was currently taking a shower. And she spent a long time inside.

  "Ayen." Stefan knocked on the door to find out if she's still alright.

  "What is it?"

  "What's taking you so long? Are you alright? Can I join you and have a shower, too?" He was genuinely worried for her but he couldn't add a little tease to his words. He absolutely thought that Cayenne wouldn't answer him or would ignore the last question but who would have thought that she'd open the door for him.

  "Shower with me, then." She was blushing and her eyes were avoiding him but he knew how much courage she saved up just to reply him this way.

  "Ayen, I was just kidding. Take your time. I might do something really naughty if I shower with you." Stefan kissed the corner of her lips and that was supposedly a quick kiss.

  To his surprise, Cayenne wrapped her arms around neck and pulled him closer to kiss him back. "I will let you do whatever naughty things you have mind." She whispered in between kisses which really shocked Stefan. He had no idea what she was thinking.

  "Ayen." He called her name while trailing his kisses from her mouth down to her neck. The towel that was wrapping her body was long gone, fell on the floor and ignored by them. Stefan pressed her on the wall and continued kissing her. "Ayen, do you understand what you're talking about? Are you sure you won't regret this?"

  "Why am I going to regret this when I'm doing it with you? You're my husband so, there's nothing wrong with it."

  "But I don't want to hurt you. I don't want you to suffer in pain."

  "I'll be fine." Cayenne replied and even smiled, reassuring him. Stefan was about to agree when he realized something.

  "I didn't buy any condoms."

  "What for?"

  "I told myself that we're not going to have a baby because it will be too painful for you. And aside from that, you are still young and your family didn't know that we're married. If you get pregnant, they will think badly of you. I don't want that. So, even if I'm reluctant to refuse your offer, my wife, I still have to say no for tonight."

  "Alright, I don't really mind. I can still serve you next time."

  "Then, I'll prepare lots of boxes of rubber for you." Stefan kissed the corner of her lips and get away from her. "Just finish your bath as soon as you can."

  "You can still shower with me, you know."

  "With this," Stefan pointed at the bulging seam of his pants. "I don't think we'll come out in an hour."

  Cayenne pulled out a new towel from the cupboard and wrapped it around her. "I'm actually done. You can take a shower and take care of yourself. I'm stepping out now."

  "O-okay." Stefan watched her go out of the bathroom and he couldn't stop himself from take a deep breath. Relief washed over him when she finally stopped distracting his thoughts. "Does she even know how alluring she was? How can she show her naked body in front of me when I'm trying to be a saint for her?"

  Stefan stayed longer than Cayenne inside the bathroom. He relieved himself not just once but thrice. Whenever he remembered how she looks in front of him, like a sheep waiting for the wolf to take a bite of her, his manhood would become stiff and hard again. Cold shower wasn't helping him at all.

  Cayenne had been stealing glances at the bathroom door. She learned that taking cold shower to suppress your desire for physiological pleasure isn't good for your health. As much as possible, men needed to release it but time and time again, Stefan had to rely on his hands to do the job.

  "Whatever." She brushed her hair and dismissed the idea. "I already took the initiative earlier." She went out of her room and helped her brother cook their dinner. By the time Stefan came out, Cayenne was no longer there.

  After dinner, Stefan didn't let his wife escape from him again. Of course, she couldn't do it even if she wanted to since it's already night time and they needed to go to sleep. Cayenne was lying on his arm, her face pressed close to his chest and her breathing was really warm to his skin.

  "So, will you tell me what keeps bothering you?" he asked. His voice was low and there was certain ring to it that calms her down.

  She hugged him and moved even closer to him before she responded. "I was just thinking that I've been very unfair to you. You catered to my needs. You always take care of me but I can't even do anything for you. I'm such a failure of a wife."

  Stefan kissed the top of her head and rubbed her arms. "I didn't marry you because of your body or that I want you to take care of me. I married you because I love you. I want to be around when you need me. I will listen to your worries. I will make you happy and I will take care of you because I like taking care of you. But I would still welcome it if you would want to do it with me."

  "Tsk! You really love to make up those sweet-sounding words in order to cover your perverted side." Cayenne retorted with faint chuckle. "But I believe you anyway."

  "Ayen, I know that you're aware of how I act before and it is very well-known to everyone. I won't even try to deny it but I promise you that the past stayed in the past. I'll dedicate my whole life to you and I hope you can do the same because I have no plan in letting you go or letting myself fall for someone else."

  "Hn. I will only belong to you."

  This was what they promise to each other but someone else was holding to the same promise and he will never let go of her no matter what happens.

  "Soon. Very soon. I'll have you back."
