KIHO laughed softly while listening to Tilly moan his name again and again.

She really likes this position.

Tilly was straddling him, her arms around his body while her nails were dug deep into his skin. It stung a little, but the pleasure he felt as she rode him fast was greater than the pain.

Most of all, he loved the feel of her soft and smooth skin on his palms as he held her hips tight to secure her as his hips meet her downward slides. He was careful not to dig his nails on her skin, of course.

"Kiho, you never fail to make me feel good," Tilly said between heavy breaths. Then, she gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. "I've missed you so much."

"I still miss you even if we're together like this again," Kiho confessed, then he kissed her on the corner of her mouth. "I love making you feel good."

And to make her feel even better, he kneaded her breasts. Then, he sucked the peak of her breasts until she cried in ecstasy. He wanted nothing in the world than to give back the same happiness that Tilly never failed to give him.

In all lifetimes.

"Kiho," Tilly whispered sweetly in his ear, tickling his skin as he continued thrusting inside her fast and deep.

Just like him, she was breathless.

Everything about that moment sent both of them to blinding bliss. A few bounces and pumps later, his lovely wife was screaming with orgasm– a powerful one.

Then, she collapsed on him– satisfied.

"Tilly, I'm close," he whispered in a shallow breath. "Can I…?"

"Yes," she said, then she kissed her shoulder. "You can come inside me, Kiho." She raised her head to look up at him. "It's safe."

He touched her face and kissed her on the lips, deep and long.

A few thrusts later, he shot his load, too– his release taking longer than usual. He had a lot of pent-up desires inside after five long years of yearning for his wife. But of course, that moment was worth the wait.

Tilly let out a dreamy sigh, then she hugged him tight. "I didn't know how I survived five years without this."

Kiho laughed, his cheeks turning hot. He was a little shy, but he was very happy to hear those words from his wife. "Me too. I've dreamt about doing this with you every night," he confessed bashfully, then he kissed the top of her head. "I'm glad that it has turned into a reality now."

***

TILLY's arms were pressed against the tiled floor of the pool while Kiho pounded her from behind. Ah, his thrust were fast and deep– just like how she wanted it. Well, she also liked it when they do it nice and slow.

But this time, she wanted to be taken a little roughly than usual.

Kiho was a beast and in the sheet but he was always asking for consent. He also never failed to make her feel safe with him. She loved that about him.

But she also had to admit that the Kiho who had let go of his inhibitions and was now following his carnal desire was also hot. And that was because despite his crazy high libido right now, he still didn't forget to ask for consent.

Consent is sexy.

Her thoughts were cut-off when he took her nipple between his thumb and index finger, rolling it around and giving it light pinches. It hurt a little, but the pain was gone as soon as it appeared. In fact, it might have added to her pleasure.

Kiho's fingers… mouth… tongue… he put them all to good use.

And yes, there was no way that she would forget how good his considerable length was. He was so big that a little movement from him would already hit all the best spots inside her. But her husband always, always go all-out when it comes to making love with her.

He never fails to make me feel so, so good.

She got distracted when Kiho suddenly pulled out. Just when she was about to complain, he pounded in again– deeper this time. Then, he pummeled in and out of her as if it was their last. She understood the desperation though.

It has been five years since we got an intimate moment like this.

"I'm close, Kiho," she said in a voice that almost sounded like a moan. "Really close."

She was glad that their reunion happened on her "safe day."

Since she had regular period, she knew when she was "safe" or not. It wasn't like she didn't want to have another child with him. She'd love a daughter, to be honest. But she just thought that it wasn't the right time to get pregnant again. There was an upcoming battle after all.

Kiho placed hot kisses down her back, holding her hips tighter.

She came, fast. Judging by the amount of juice flowing out of her, it was safe to assume that she probably released all the pent-up desire that she had for the past five years of missing Kiho.

I really missed doing this with him.

Obviously, she wasn't the only one who felt that way.

Kiho, with one final thrust, deeply plunged into her. Then, he came with a loud groan before he completely collapsed on top of her. She didn't mind because to her, his weight was wonderful for her taste.

But of course, Kiho was still Kiho.

He was probably afraid that he must have crushed her because he carefully pulled out from her while getting up.

"I'm sorry for accidentally crushing you under my weight, honey," Kiho said, then he gently wrapped his arm around her waist and helped her get up. "Are you okay?"

"I feel great," Tilly said, then she turned around to face her husband. Suddenly feeling tired after doing it with him twice in a row, she pressed her forehead against his chest. "Hon, I'm hungry."

***

"HONEY, are you not going to eat anything?" Tilly asked Kiho while she was eating an egg salad sandwich that they made together. Right now, she and her husband were in the kitchen and both of them had their white robes on. She was the only one sitting on a chair though. "Are you not hungry?"

Kiho, who was slightly leaning the table, was watching her eat with glowing golden eyes. "I'm already full by watching you eat with so much gusto," he said, then he wiped the sauce on the corner of her mouth with his thumb. Then, much to her surprise, he licked the sauce off of his finger without breaking eye contact. Damn, that was hot. "But I think I'm getting hungry now."

She drank her tea first before she responded. "Then, why don't you eat?" She pointed at the plate on the table. "There's still a sandwich left."

"I'm craving for something else, honey."

Much to her shock, Kiho suddenly got down on one knee. Then, without tearing his gaze away from her, he touched her knees as if he was asking for permission.

Her throat suddenly went dry but she nodded shyly.

Why am I getting shy now after all the things that we have already done?

Anyway, her thoughts were cut-off when Kiho positioned himself between her legs.

She wasn't wearing anything under her robe so she knew that her husband had a clear view of all of her now. It was uncharacteristically of her but she was really embarrassed when she realized that she was very exposed to his waiting mouth.

But all those silly thoughts disappeared when Kiho buried his face between her legs.

Hot damn.

She closed her eyes tight when his skillful tongue started to thrust in and out of her warm and moist center, pressing hard against her clit. Then, he flicked his tongue up and down until she was squirming in her seat. She had to grab his hair for support.

So good…

It was so good that she felt her orgasm building up fast. By that point, she was already grinding herself against his mouth, hard. Another thrust from Kiho's tongue made her release another powerful orgasm with a loud scream.

Please don't let other people hear me.

She had to catch her breath while Kiho's tongue lapped up her juices until she was dry.

"Thank you for the delicious meal," Kiho said, then he raised his head and met her gaze while he was licking his lips sexily. "You taste so good, Tilly."

Tilly had to cover her face with her hands from embarrassment. This time, her heart was beating like crazy. She had lived in the modern world during her second life so she thought she was a little more aggressive than the conservative ladies of the empire. But for some reason, Kiho could still make her feel like a love struck and conscious teenager that she used to be. "You're bad for my heart, Kiho."

***

TILLY, as the "small spoon," wondered why Kiho, the "big spoon," was playing with her fingers right now.

After his "midnight snack" in the kitchen an hour ago, they went for "round three." And then, they had "round four" when they reached the bedroom. She fell asleep after the last "round." It looked like Kiho thought that she was still asleep.

"You're awake?" Kiho asked, proving her last thought wrong. Then, he kissed the top of her head. "How are you feeling, honey?"

"Sore," Tilly said honestly. "The good kind of sore."

He just chuckled at her response.

Since she was still tired, she closed her eyes. But she didn't sleep. She could feel that Kiho was gathering up his courage to say something important to her.

"Tilly?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you marry me again?"

Okay, it was a pleasant surprise.

To be honest, when she was younger, she liked grand gestures.

But now, after going through a lot, she preferred peace and quiet. She appreciated the small things that she used to take for granted in the past. To simply put, Kiho's proposal this time was simple and straightforward, but it sounded more heartfelt and real.

"Yes, I will marry you again, Kiho," she answered his proposal as calm and as genuine as the way he asked. Was this maturity in their relationship? She loved that for them. "I think I would still want to marry you in the next lifetime."

"Thank you, Tilly," he said as he hugged her tighter. "To be honest, the memories of my past lives haven't settled properly yet. There are still blurry ones, especially the memories of what happened to me after Soleil Rosenberg was gone."

"Don't be too hard on yourself, Kiho," she said while gently patting his hands on her stomach. "I don't really care about the relationship between Soleil Rosenberg and Kalel Nuystrom in the past. We both know that it ended tragically because they lacked proper communication, and both of them were forced to not choose each other. Whatever happened back then, it has nothing to do with our current relationship. The only things that we should bring from the past are the lessons that we have learned the hard way." She turned to him. "Is that okay with you, hon?"

"If you're okay with me despite my cowardice as Nystrom and Kalel Nystrom in the past, then I'm willing to let go of the past," he said carefully. "But Tilly, I want you to know that both the parts of Nystrom and Kalel that are left within me are still very regretful for hurting Soleil Rosenberg."

"Soleil Rosenberg has already forgiven them a long time ago," she said softly. "She was that soft-hearted for her husband."

"Just like you," he said. "You still accepted me even though I've been nothing but a burden to you all this time. Thank you for giving me another chance, Tilly."

She turned around to face him properly. Then, she gently pinched his cheeks. "This is the last chance I'm giving you, Kiho," she said seriously. "Please let our relationship work until the end this time. If you mess up badly again, I can no longer choose you over myself and our children. Now that we have Winter and Julian, I will prioritize them and their safety over our marriage." She smiled sadly at him. "Am I being too harsh?"

He shook his head firmly. "You're just being logical, Tilly," he said. "In the previous lives that you had, you chose me and that led to your demise. If choosing yourself and our children will give you the quiet and peaceful life that you deserve, I will gladly disappear from your life this time."

"Shh," she gently scolded him as she cupped his face between her hands. "We will figure it out together this time, Kiho."

He kissed the palm of her hand. "I'd love that."

"We should really get married again," she said with a smile. "The wedding that we had in the past was organized by Nia Moonchester. And to be honest, my only goal back then was to get pregnant with Winter."

"So, you only wanted my body back then?" he teased her. "I'm a little hurt."

She laughed softly because she knew that he was just teasing her to lighten up the mood. "Let's get married in Oakes. Mother and Father were married in the church there."

The reminder of her father brought sadness in his eyes. "Tilly, have your people found Father's body…?"

"I'm yet to hear from people I sent to the North," she said. "But it's about time that we meet them again."

He nodded, then he gently caressed her face. "Once we retrieved Father's body, let's bury him next to Mother. I'm sure he'd love that."

"That's a great idea, Kiho," she said. "We should hurry up and finish this. I can't wait to plan our wedding. This time, with our children."

He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose. "I can't wait to marry you again, Tilly."

"Me too. But before we plan our wedding, we should plan our next movement first," she said urgently when she realized that she hadn't told Kiho about her plan yet. Now that she had gotten rid of Yumi and Kyro (in a way that they couldn't get near her husband anymore), she could trust Kiho again 100%. "Kiho, have you also remembered that I'm actually the Black Phoenix?"

"Yes, honey," he said, then he got serious. "I also remember who your spirit guardian is."

"We have a lot of things we should discuss," Tilly said firmly. "Kiho, do you still have the energy to talk?"

"Of course," Kiho said, then he smiled while gently pinching her cheek. It was as if he realized something interesting. There was a spark in her golden eyes after all. "I should call you 'Madam General' from now on, Tilly."
