Husbandly Duties

I narrowed his eyes at him. I knew exactly what type of ‘exercise’ he was referring to. My body was still sore, and I felt black and blue from his rough and passionate love making from last night. After returning from the hot spring, Edward continued seducing me until we ended up doing it again in bed.

“Where did you go off to get food in the middle of a snow mountain?” I couldn’t help myself from asking.

“I had it pre-ordered…it should taste better than standard room service,” Edward replied with a smile.

Trust Edward to go the extra mile for things like this. It wasn’t like I was a picky eater or anything like that…

“I see…thank you,” I said as I smiled back at him.

“Oh…and I got you these,” Edward said as he reached inside the paper bag and showed me a box of big dark red cherries.

“Wow…someone’s definitely eager to please today…” I said teasingly as I reached for the box.

“Not so fast…” Edward said as he swatted my hand away playfully.

“Give me the cherries…please?” I asked using my sweet pleading voice.

“Eat your food properly first...then I’ll feed you these later…” Edward said, teasing me back.

I watched his back as he headed into the room, the cherries still in his hand. Smiling a little to myself, I followed him deeper into the room.

“I’m hungry. Let’s just eat,” I said as I began looking through the bags of food that he brought.

Edward brought out the dishes and began helping me unpack the food. Moments like these, when we did normal daily tasks together, made me feel like we were a real couple. Edward was always attentive and helpful. There was no such thing as a ‘women’s job’ for him and we divided our responsibilities equally or based on respecting each other’s preferences.

I looked at how swiftly Edward managed to arrange the food on the table and in such a wonderful display and I was reminded again of how lucky I am to have him by my side and as my partner. Edward was better than me in almost everything and that probably still holds true today.

“What are you staring at, Princess?” Edward asked when he felt my eyes on him.

“My charming househusband…” I replied lazily.

Edward laughed along with my joke; he was clearly in a good mood today. Then again, he was in a good mood most of the time, especially after we got married. His cheerfulness was infectious, and I started smiling and laughing along with him.

Finally, we could start eating. My tummy was completely thankful for the good food. The food was amazing, and I was sure that it was much better than room service. I was busy stuffing food into my mouth when Edward spoke up.

“I wonder how our son is doing…” Edward said in yearning in his voice. He’s missing his son already.

“I’m sure he’s doing great as always. I don’t think you need to worry,” I replied.

“I should call just to check…” Edward said as he started reaching for his mobile phone.

“You just miss him, don’t you?” I asked, smiling at him knowingly.

“Yea…yea…” Edward said as he started dialing our home number.

Soon, the line connected, and Edward asked to speak to our son. Our son was too young to have a complete conversation with us, but I guess Edward wanted to hear his voice anyways. He turned on the speaker so that I could hear and be part of the conversation as well when our son came to the phone.

Just like I had said, our son was doing well and happy at home with his army of supporters. However, I knew that Edward missed him a lot and needed to talk to or hear the boy ever so often. He would call me often whenever he was away from home or was abroad too.

“I told you…he’s doing great…” I said when the line disconnected.

“Cherry time?” Edward asked with a seductive smile.

I narrowed my eyes at him suspiciously. Edward began opening the box of cherry and I watched him intently. I wondered what trick he had up his sleeve this time around…

Edward handed me a cherry; however, when I reached out my hand towards it, he pulled his hand back with a disapproving shake of his head.

“Open your mouth, I’ll feed you…” Edward said in the gentlest of voice. It was hard not to do exactly as he says.

“Ok…” I said softly as I turned my head and opened my lips for him.

Edward smiled as he popped a cherry into my mouth. The cherry tastes just like how I imagined it.

“Would you like one too?” I asked.

I held a cherry between my fingertips and was ready to feed it to Edward. He smiled and nodded, and I began moving my hand towards his lips to feed him the cherry. When the cherry touched his beautiful lips, his hand grabbed my wrist with such speed and precision that I gasped.

“Edward…” I called out his name softly and questioningly.

I watched as Edward wordlessly devoured the cherry and then began flicking the tip of his tongue along my fingertips. His mesmerizing green eyes watched me intently as his tongue began licking along the length of my fingers. The look on his face and his actions were so seductive that I couldn’t help but moan a little when he took my fingers into his warm and wet mouth and began sucking on them lightly.

His hand gripped my wrist, pulling me towards him.

“What are you doing?” I asked in shock, folding an arm around my breasts protectively.

“I gave you time to rest, I gave you food…I even fed you a cherry. You should be ready now, no?”

Edward said with an innocent smile.

“You can’t be serious…” I muttered.

“You know that I am. Come on now…let’s make up for lost time,” Edward said seductively.

Everything happened so fast. The next thing I realized; my back was already laying on top of the table as Edward hovered above me.
