Barbaric Spouse, Descry the Night's Lure-Chapter 97: Scene XCVII

"Husband... Husband!"

"?"

"huff... Wait for me. I do not have your long strides..."

"ah... Sorry." — Extending his limb he waited for the woman to arrive by his side, taking her hand in his to walk along her this time.

"... Are we delayed? You appear to be in a rush."

"... No. We aren’t. I was..." — Aslak halted his steps before answering, cutting his words short for the curious eyes of the woman made his mind go further blank at what he found conflicting.

"Hm? What happened?" — Ewelina asked the man that now looked around, only to come back to look at her. — "Aslak?"

"..." — His eyes traced the woman’s visage and ultimately he decided to take it in his other hand to kiss her gently. — "...*smooch*... Nothing. Don’t mind me."

"Umh... A-another one. Since we cannot once below..."

"Hm. True."

"!?"

"Let’s make it a good one." — Intertwining their fingers he restrained her movement by placing it around her back and pushing her closer... He leaned mischievous. — "Your tongue."

"W– wait."

"Let me taste it."

"Husband not like this... Nh." — Reluctant to allow the naughty kiss he wished for, Ewelina blushed as his breath grazed her lips that his thumb tried to force open. Biting his nail softly to reprimand his ways. — "We could be seen."

"Nobody comes around here... Ewelina, let me, hm? *li~ck* Your bite doesn’t convince me..."

"R–release me. I was not asking for this."

"... No." — Digging his thumb to feel the teeth of his wife, Aslak denied her glare. Severe since he could feel through the little distance how her heart also beat desireful of his kiss. — "It’s late for that."

"No..."

"Open up." — With his thumb, he pulled her lower lip down as her teeth remained closed. Pressuring her with a menacing glare as his breath collided against her. — "Open your teeth. Or I’ll lick them until I taste you."

"Mh... No." — Frowning even when tempted, Ewelina told between her teeth. Moving her head away uselessly, for he followed her avoidance. — "! Brutish man."

"Ewelina..."

"!?! Ah, wait!" — To his push against the wall she flinched at the impact he controlled so it wouldn’t hurt her.

"Since you don’t want to, I’ll give in. But know that I’m upset. You licked my thumb although you bit it. Don’t think I’m not aware, unfair wife." — Aslak whispered to her cheek.

"Mmmphh! Gasp!"

"Huff. It wasn’t like I wanted it but also not like you did." — Sneering at her red cheeks after strongly pressing his lips against hers, Aslak teased. Receiving her glare only to drag her down the corridors to arrive at the Falling Lane.

"Brute! Savage man!"

"Yes, I am."

"Release my hand, immediately!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"... Alright." — Turning to look at her, already feeling victorious, Aslak smirked at the fierce wife. Whose every change in mood was delectable to his wicked nature. — "Yet it’s useless."

"Do not make fun of me."

"... Woman, you’ll have to take my hand again. We are using the rope, remember."

Turning to look around, the breeze grazing her was noticed along the vast sight of his territory. However, her upset expression did not forbid from Ewelina’s countenance and coming back to glare at her spouse, her eyes squinted further at the grin he had while standing proud.

"Go down on your own."

"... what?"

"I’m going back and will go down from Passim Watersturl’s path." — Ewelina added, giving him her back, unfazed by the surprise in his eyes.

"Wait. Ewelina–"

"No. Husband is mean, I will not bear your selfishness-... Don’t hinder my path. Move aside."

"Fatædi, are you truly upset?" — Showing concern at her harsh tone, Aslak stood before her, blocking the corridor she wished to go back into.

"I am. Move aside."

"... No... Fatædi. I dislike your frown."

"... You should have thought of that before upsetting me." — Ewelina said, already moved by the tame gaze of her beastly spouse... Who she was purposely troubling in vengeance. For she was not truly upset... But acting wicked as he did while tempting her so wildly.

Nonetheless...

"... Are you truly upset?"

"..."

"Woman. Are you daring to tease me like this?"

"I can be as wicked as husband." — She said, already found guilty as he had noticed her entertainment. Nevertheless, her fingertip raised to warn the man. Digging itself on his straightened and puffed chest as he glared at her sayings. — "Learn from this, inconsiderate man. It will not be easy for yourself if I truly become upset."

"... Come here."

"Gasp! No! Let me go!"

"Darn woman. Don’t joke around with that. Understood."

"Why. You tease me maliciously...! Nh. Aslak, loosen your grasp..." — Troubled by the forced hold of the man around her body, Ewelina retorted. Requesting for his arms to use less strength while restraining her. — "It’s difficult to breathe like this... Huff."

"Kiss me to breathe."

"! Aslak."

"I’m who’s upset now."

"..."

"My lung not taking my hand... I despise such teasing."

"... Aslak..." — Wide-eyed, Ewelina susurrated... As her thoughts conveyed what she saw. — ’He’s saddened...’

"I’ll tone down my teasing. Just don’t show ferocity when you don’t mean it."

Observing the deep and troubled frown of the man leaning his forehead on hers, Ewelina listened attentively to a voice out of energy. Feeling pain at his reaction and conflicted for she also liked the way his thoughts were conveyed in such a situation.

Her chin lifted to nuzzle his nose softly, and her lips reached his pouting ones, grazing them carefully so he could feel the sweetness of an affectionate and understanding wife.

"Alright... Then do tone your teasing down, husband... It is also difficult for myself to endure."

"... Does it frustrate you this much?"

"It does... Although in another manner for I haven’t felt the pain your beautiful eyes show, spouse of mine."

"... What other manner?"

"... I will not talk about this now." — In the restricted space she had while squeezed against him, Ewelina pressed her hands on his chest. Telling with such action her wish to end this exchange they arrived to. — "We should fall before we are truly delayed."

"Will you tell me later?"

"... I will contemplate on doing so."

"Hmph... *smooch*... Wicked woman."

"Forceful, brute man."

"....."

Soft smiles appeared on the two of them, showing affection to the other while relishing in the close graze of their noses as amused whiffs of laughter left them.

Nonetheless, the delectable silence of conciliation was brief... For a voice was heard as an innocent embrace continued.

"Humumuh... Aie~ Havee ya finished, Lord?"

"!!?!!"

"Haa... Stay shut, Drig."

"Ai, aie~... What a finee matees you’ve become. Huahua!"
