Raegan inquired, âIsnât it tiring?â
Mitchel raised an eyebrow in response.
âYou underestimate your husband?â
Raegan was momentarily speechless, her ears warming at his words.
After entering, he gently closed the door with his foot and whispered, âHoney, are you tired?â
Raegan, wrapping her arms around his neck, smiled and replied, âNot really.
â
âShould we start calling each other something different now?â Mitchel suggested as he gently laid her down on the bed, hovering close above her.
His proximity caused Raeganâs cheeks to redden.
âThank you, my love,â she murmured.
As she spoke, he leaned in to embrace her.
âDarling, how would you like to thank me?â he whispered.
Raeganâs blush deepened.
âHow do you want to be thanked?â
Mitchel paused, teasing her with a mischievous grin, âWith your âbody'â
âWeâre already married.
Iâm already yours.
How else do I offer myself~â Raeganâs words trailed off as her lips were met with his in a passionate ki*s.
âMmmâ¦â she gasped softly in surprise.
His hand gently wandered under her dress as he murmured in a husky voice, âLetâs seal that promise now.
â
Overcome with emotion, Raegan found herself speechless again.
Her voice was tender, almost a whimper, âHoneyâ¦â
As Mitchel carefully undid the last button, he reassured her, âEasy, Iâll be gentleâ¦â
The room swelled with tender passion, marking the sweet beginning of their new life together.
At a small town nestled at the base of the mountains.
Nicole sat in the courtyard, cozily bundled in a big down jacket that could double as a blanket.
She relaxed, enjoying the gentle warmth of the winter sun, her eyes closed in contentment.
Suddenly, the gate creaked open.
A small black dog in the yard excitedly wagged its tail, welcoming the newcomer first.
Roscoe entered, carrying two black fish and a basket filled with winter jujubes.
Nicole got up, removed the medical bag from his shoulder, and asked, âAre these from Mr.
Nixonâs family again?â
âYes, he was quite insistent.
He claimed these wild ones are very nutritious and asked me to bring them back for a nourishing soup for you,â Roscoe answered.
After he placed the fish and jujubes down, Roscoe took a large chunk of meat and put it in the dogâs bowl, announcing, âKeith, you get an extra treat today.
â
Keith wagged his tail even harder and bent down to eat.
