Barbaric Spouse, Descry the Night's Lure-Chapter 113: Scene CXIII

The explanation continued and her thoughts went back to pay attention as the woman knew it was not the time yet to converse further on such matters.

"There are many plain fields the more we close into the centre... Ramideos... at most... three months it should take. If our pace is slow, in three months we should already be at the Centre. Although it usually only takes two."

"??... A whole month more if we are slow?"

"... Well. Hœttr Hills... its beasts should be roaming normally during this season. You took thirteen days crossing it while none was around. But this time..."

"It–... W-will it be more dangerous this time?"

"Probably. The tremors of the high men could have also changed the grounds of the hills, we could take longer either for the change of nature or for the newborn creatures it’s been raising within."

"... I-I see... change of nature..."

"Hah. Are you afraid? When you even growl at me?" — Leaning intrigued to her side, Aslak teased the concerned Ewelina whilst in deep ponder. Placing his hand on her waist, taking advantage of her state to feel the curves of his female. — "That cannot be. Fatædi."

"... It was an uneventful journey that time... I do not know the true dangers of this territory, husband..."

"If you can glare at me, you shouldn’t worry about other beasts." — Joking while holding a tad of seriousness, Aslak spoke to the woman with doubtful brow. Tilting his head so their gazes would meet in a pause she would break with honest laughter.

"... Haha! Oh, Husband... I cannot compare you with such beasts."

"Why. I’m stronger than them."

"... That might be the case. Yet husband is different to a wild creature."

"... Hm. Come seat with me." — Not sure of what to reply, Aslak requested, straightening from the shoulder he was leaning over to interesting his fingers and guide her.

"? However, there are other things I should tent to..."

"Just come."

"?!"

"I’ll tell you other things about the journey." — Pulling her so she would fall on his lap, Aslak reached out to other parchments to show the woman.

"There are other things you should know... but. Fatædi."

"Yes?"

"... Did your fear disappear?"

Staring at the man who curiously and seriously asked with a calm expression, the woman settled on his lap to look properly into his sincere hues. A moment to admire the spouse’s demeanour was quietly enjoyed by her attentive eyes as she tried to understand his intention with the question.

’Oh... Lovely man... Barbaric you are while showing consideration...’

Ewelina flickered her eyelashes, lowering her gaze to feel the comfort of his care that was yet to be smooth or soft from a blunt Aslak.

Nevertheless, her smile emerged as gentle as her character and softly responded, sincere and sweet to the man, so pride could fill his chest along with her reassurance.

"Yes... As you said, you are stronger than the beasts... That aids my fears to fade, husband."

*kiss*

"Well said." — Satisfied grin was found in Aslak’s countenance, which tilted to briefly kiss his wife whose shyness lowered her head. Husky in tone as he purred. As if praising Ewelina with the affection of his grazing nose. — "Grmm... my Fatædi..."

"Haha... You appear happy."

"Mmm... Yeah."

Smiling at his beastly affection, Ewelina giggled to a relentless yet gentle caress. Soon noticing those wide hands that liked to touch as much they could when so near.

"... Were you not going to tell me more about the journey?" — Halting the climb of his greedy hand over her thigh, the wife asked. Still sweet and kind to the man that continued to try to graze her lips. — "Husband’s hands... I believe they are taking advantage of me."

"That’s right. You know well."

"mh!"

Malicious, his smirk went after the woman that uselessly tried to avoid his lips. Engaging in another brief, yet passionate tangle where his hands groped her flesh tastefully to cause desirable shivers in the patient... Nonetheless enamoured woman.

"Gasp! No more... I have already... hf Told you the end would not be a kiss–!?" — Turning away her head from the man, the troubled youth of Ewelina then tried to escape his grasp. Failing as he wouldn’t lose to a small woman’s force attempting to stand from his lap.

"Don’t go. I can wait till dusk. Stay."

"... Goodness... I do not know how can I stand this selfishness of yours, husband."

"You’re my lung, that’s why." — Entertained at her frown, the pleased man stated. Caressing her side with spread fingers that dug themselves over her body to incite her one last time. — "... And it’s also why I can stand your troublesome requests at times like these."

"?! I am not–"

"You are. Yet I let it be... if not... you would already be under me Ewelina. Gasping like every other night."

"! W-what...?"

"I would do whatever I want, woman... Be grateful I’m not being truly selfish." — Talking into her ear as he relished in her fur, stroking lusciously the feminine back while the woman shrunk nervous at his confident whisper, Aslak came back to look into her bewildered eyes to warn the truth to his wife. — "Or you wouldn’t have rest."

"H-how can you s-say such a thing..."

"I feel like you should know this... What. Are you nervous?"

"... I am..."

"Why." — Entertained he pressed to know as he followed the unwilling yet heated Ewelina.

"... This means I should be more careful around this husband of mine..."

"... uh?"

Surprising him with an answer he wasn’t expecting, Ewelina tenderly grinned to trouble the man as he had done to her.

"If this is true, then... Then I should maintain distance in public since my husband must be having trouble letting my requests be."

"... No. I wasn’t saying that."

"Yet you said my requests were troublesome..."

"And I said I can take them."

"Hmm... I do not know... husband’s hands are not conveying husband’s words..."

"We’re in private." — Deep frown that menaced to growl at the seemingly nonchalant woman on his lap appeared on Aslak’s expression. Whilst his hands that had not stopped stroking her body felt the flinch of a feminine leg to his squeeze. Summoning playfulness in his glare. — "Don’t try to tease me, Ewelina. I know well what and when I’m allowed to touch you."

"... Alright. Let us end this conversation. Husband is sly and will take advantage of me sooner or later."

"... Resplendent Fatædi."

"..."

"Come on. Look at me."

"... No. Y-your praise will not succeed this time."

"Sigh..."

"..."

"Alright. At dusk it’ll have to be."

Observing from behind how the woman in his lap was giving her back to him, Aslak sneered to coldly announce. Excited for the flush the woman’s visible skin permitted to admire was apparent in the ear hidden by her light copper brown curls... As she inwardly battled herself... For the wish he would force more caresses out of her was denied once again, easily, as she had not expected.
