“Are you mad at me?”

Rubica tried to shake him a little, but he still wouldn’t say anything. He was very mad. Well, his jealousy and desire to keep her to himself was strong.

It appeared it wouldn’t be easy to make him feel better, so Rubica knew it wasn’t time to try to convince him with words. Now she had to act.

“Edgar…”

She hugged him tightly from behind, which she wouldn’t have done normally.

Edgar tried his best to resist it, but he couldn’t hide his lips from curling up when feeling her warmth.

“Oh, how can I ever win against you?”

In the end, he turned to her. He hadn’t been really mad at her, anyway.

He had been hoping she would do something to make him feel better if he pretended to be mad, and it worked.

He had gotten what he wanted, so now it was time to hold her in his arms and feel her warmth.

“You promised to stay with me, but you left so suddenly. Do you know how disappointed I was?”

“Oh, um… I…”

She tried to think of something to say, still in his arms. Even that looked so lovely. He knew he was way too crazy in love.

“You were ordering me. You should have asked it nicely.”

She managed to come up with a good enough reason, but Edgar just laughed.

She had to be the only wife who was so eager to not lose to her own husband. However, he liked her for that.

“Of course, my apologies, my lady.”

“Apology accepted.”

They joked, still looking at each other with love.

“I told them we need no servants so that we will be alone.”

“Is that okay? I think our doctor should take a look at you…”

“It’s not like I was really hurt badly. I just let him examine me, and as soon as he said I was fine, I sent him to the other carriage.”

“Oh, yes. People would have gotten suspicious if he examined you for a long time. Nice work.”

She smiled, which made him feel even thirstier. That wasn’t what mattered in the conversation they were having right now.

“Are you pretending to not know?”

“Not know what?”

She had tempted him so boldly, and now she was pretending to not know what he was talking about.

No, she wasn’t pretending. She really didn’t know. Edgar had no choice but to venture further, as he was the one who was craving for it. He boldly kissed her hand and whispered, “Now we’re all alone in here.”

Only then, she realized what he was saying. Her face turned tomato red and she jumped to her feet.

“So, so what? What are you going to do to me?”

He couldn’t move his legs. He couldn’t do anything if she ran away. He just stared at her, still on the bed. Even that gaze was enough to make her feel hot.

“Come here.”

His voice was so sexy. What would happen if she listened to that call and lay next to him?

Fear and excitement took control of her, but her pride was too high to let her run like a dog when whistled, so she looked away.

“No.”

“Because I’m ordering you again?”

“Yes.”

She could hear him chuckling.

“Let us not take it too seriously. I would obey you no matter how you speak to me.”

She thought he was childish a few minutes ago, but actually, she was no better.

Was it because she had had so many quarrels with him? She looked straight at him and shouted, “Then you come here.”

She was provoking him as she knew he couldn’t. But to her surprise, Edgar jumped to his feet, came to her, and grabbed her by her waist.

“Huh?”

“I’m sorry, but the sun has set.”

He whispered as if he could see what she had been thinking. Again, she was the only one blushing. She was feeling so hot that she didn’t even know how she was standing on her feet.

“I can’t wait any longer.”

She looked away, but he made her look at him again and kissed her.

His hand on her waist started to go down slowly, but she didn’t push him away. He knew she had also been wanting him since yesterday.

He didn’t fulfill her wish yet only because of his condition. However, his thirst and desire had grown even larger while constrained, and now they were about to explode.

“I was going to wait until we get home, but I really can’t wait any longer.”

He could move his legs now and compared to that room in the presbytery, the carriage was quite spacious and comfortable.

Rubica was feeling no differently. Women also have desire. She had shared several passionate kisses with her lover, but they had never reached the end, and now she was eager to go there.

“Then don’t wait.”

She covered her mouth in surprise as soon as she said that. Being with him made her realize she could be so bold.

She sometimes acted like she knew nothing, and she sometimes acted like she knew everything. Edgar smiled.

“As you wish, my lady.”

He offered a hand to her. She put her hand on his as if she had never wanted to run away in embarrassment. Her auburn eyes were a little murky with desire, which made them look even more beautiful.

However, Edgar hadn’t taken a bath, and it bothered him. He started to fill the bathtub next to the bed.

As the carriage was for him and for him only, there was no such thing as a wall or a screen. He took his clothes off right in front of her.

“Edgar!”

Rubica covered her eyes in surprise. Of course, she had to look at him naked to do what they were about to do, but still, it was embarrassing. Edgar kissed her forehead.

“I don’t care about where we are, but I don’t want to do it when I’m so dirty.”

Soon Rubica could hear the sound of water, and she could only anxiously stomp her feet.

Oh, this must have been what he felt when I took a bath back at the presbytery. She regretted it. But at the same time, she was curious and wanted to see.

He was beautiful when he was neatly dressed, but how beautiful would he be when he is in a natural state? He had to be the most beautiful amongst the creatures made by god.

She tried hard to define her desire to look as nothing more than pure curiosity for beauty. She put her hands down and opened her eyes.

But the next second, their eye met. He had been looking at her in the bathtub.

“Yikes!”

She quickly covered her eyes again, but she already couldn’t forget his dark hair dripping in water and his blue eyes.

“Rubica, put your hands down.”

Her hand went down at the order, but her eyes were still closed.

“Open your eyes.”

She slowly did. The image of him lying in the bathtub was embedded in her eyes. She was now a captive of desire, and she was half in a daze.

“Come here.”

She had just said she didn’t want to be ordered around, but this time, she obeyed and went to him.

“Come in.”

She slowly went into the tub. She was losing to him at the most important moment, and it was so lovely.

No matter how much she usually toyed with him and ignored him, he was willing to put his heart under her feet to be stomped upon, as she was doing as he said at this moment.

“Edgar.”

Her dress started to become wet and showed her body. Her round body contrasted with his strong body.

How could they be so different when they are the same species?

“There’s no need to rush.”

Was he saying that to her, or to himself? Anyway, he didn’t want to look clumsy in this to her. He calmly turned off the tap and took out a soap.

“Let me do it for you.”

She went to him, making the water overflow out of the tub. The splash sounded so romantic.

She took the soap from his hand and made some foam. Then, she started to caress him. Her fingers felt even softer than usual because of the foam.

“Oh, this is too much.”

It was really a torture to him. And it was Rubica’s soap, not his. Her scent was now all on his body. He breathed heavily while Rubica smiled.

“Just hold on, you should be clean.”

She had told him to not wait, but now he was supposed to hold on. Was she the one who just closed her eyes in embarrassment?

Even the servants of gods wouldn’t have faced an even greater hardship.

Edgar could only barely, really, barely hold himself back while she put clean water on him.

“Well, I guess that’s…”

The moment the foams on his feet were washed away, he jumped to his feet and raised her up. Then he went straight to bed, without giving her time to protest. His body dripped water on the floor, but he didn’t care.
