Niklaus point of view:

"Ahh!" Reina's scream reverberated across the room as I walked up the stairs with her on my shoulder.

"Let me down this instant!" She commanded, throwing punches on my back. It hurt though but her distress was amusing to me hence the pain was nothing I couldn't bear.

The moment I came into the room and turned to lock the door, she somehow maneuvered her body and slipped out of my hold, heading straight into the bathroom.

I let out a slight chuckle, why was she running? I wasn't even pursuing her. I just wanted a few words with her - probably?

"Reina," I knocked on the door and tried the doorknob but as expected, it was locked; she wasn't taking any chances with me.

"I'm not going to gobble you up, Tigress. I just want us to talk this out like a husband and wife should without being childish," I preached to her - sadly, even I had a hard time believing myself.

"This is not the first time you fooled me," she retorted from behind the closed door.

Well, guilty as charged, but then, it was not my fault that I had such a ravenous appetite. And let's judge this frankly, my wife didn't stop me when I approached her either plus the fact she had a great time too.

"Well, stay in there as much as you like," I added, " Take the chance to wash up as well, you reek" I could already picture her glaring at me at this comment.

With no other choice, I went back to the bed and laid down, facing upward with a smile on my face. For some strange reason, I was so happy today especially after remembering what went down yesterday night - even though I had a blue ball afterward.

I wondered if Maya hadn't fallen off that bridge, would we have gotten married by now, had children, and lived happily ever after? Who was I kidding, happily ever after was a fairytale. But still, would our love have conquered the persecution and tribulations on our way.

You know, I'm kind of believing in this "There's time for everything" concept. It's kind of funny but I believe that everything has finally fallen in place; I now have Reina, my kids, and a happy family. Though I missed seven years of the twin's life, Reina did a good job of raising them - as mischievous as they were. My father, Adam, would have probably found ways to suppress Maya in every corner if we had gotten married earlier then. Who knows, we would have been divorced by now.

For almost an hour, Reina didn't come out of the bathroom - my woman has a huge determination. Though I was bored, I didn't give up, two can play at this game. Let's see how long she can live in that limited space.

My premonition was right because not long after, I heard the slow creaking of the door as it was opened and someone's head poked out with a meek voice calling, "Niklaus,"

I didn't have to think hard to know my wife Reina needed clothes - her previous one must stink badly- and she was too shy, more like, cautious to walk out of the bathroom naked with the lion around to bounce on her and yes, I hid the towels - mwahaha.

"Niklaus," I heard her voice; gentler and alluring this time. I was almost tempted to answer her but instead, I faced the other side of the bed, feigning a yawn. Reina began the game, she must see it to the end.

"Niklaus!" She hissed out. I sensed some annoyance in her voice, her patience was finally thinning.

I would have loved to drive her to the edge but as the gentleman I am, it's not right to keep a lady waiting naked.

"R-Reina?" I rubbed my eyes, pretending to have just woken up from sleep.

Her lips pressed together and she glared at me in response seeing through my act. I was tempted to kiss that pouty lips, she looked so adorable right now.

"What is the problem, my wife?" I strutted over to her with a straight face.

At first, I was sure my dear wife was about to scold my head off but the moment I got close, she retreated further into the bathroom, hiding her tantalizing body from view.

I frowned, what was I supposed to do with her head alone? Well, those lips...

"Niklaus," she spoke softly, fluttering her eyelashes at me like a butterfly.

I laughed mentally, the tigress became so low and meek because she wanted a favor from me - I'm so touched.

"Yes, wifey,"

Her face scrunched up in annoyance at my comment - she could tell I was teasing her - yet she continued her act.

"Can you help me with some clothes from the wardrobe," she added, "Please,"

"This is your chance, Niklaus," I was tempted to tease her now she's vulnerable but decided against it.

Like an obedient husband, I went to the wardrobe and found heaps of disarrayed clothes. Eden was right, she had one hell of fun yesterday.

Pushing the jealousy to the back of my mind, I went to work. Contrary to my thoughts, I had a lot of fun picking out her clothes - ladies had an enormity of clothing choices.

"Here," I handed the cloth which she snatched quickly from me with a vigilant gaze. Sigh, she was still cautious, as if she could run away from me if I wanted her on my bed right now.

Reina gave me a questioning look when she undid the cloth I wrapped together only to discover it was nothing but an oversized polo," Where is the rest of it?"

"The rest?" I pretended I was clueless about what she was saying.

"The shorts," she swung the polo vexed," I can't wear this alone,"

"I'm sorry but I'm not well knowledgeable in women's fashion, I just took what I thought would sexy on you,"

Blood rushed to Reina's face, her chest heaved. She knew I was fooling with her, but what could she do?

"But don't worry, since you're so angry, why don't you choose it yourself - I'm too ignorant and there's a chance I might make another mistake," I told her, fighting against the urge to just throw myself on the floor and laugh my heart out - my wife was fuming with anger.

"No, thanks," She shouted and tried to slam the door on my face but I was faster and put my hand in the way.

"W-what now?" Apprehension crept up her face amid her brave facade.

"You forget this," I lifted the red lacy thong which made her face turn bright red.

"Gimme that!" She snatched at it but I moved it out of her reach.

"Niklaus!" She whined like some aggrieved kid.

Before her very eyes, I lifted the thong to my nose and took a deep sniff before placing a kiss on it and dropped it in the hand of my shocked wife - yeah, that wasn't creepy at all.

With a creeped-out cry, Reina shut the door while I went back to my bed and sat down against the headboard waiting for her to finally leave her voluntary prison.

Moments later, Reina came out from the bathroom squirming and tugging on the large polo uncomfortably. As I pictured, the shirt rested on mid-thigh and she looked sexy as hell - the thought she was wearing nothing but a thong made my member tighten painfully. Gosh, I brought trouble upon myself.

"I think I need to change out of this," she complained, already heading in the direction of the wardrobe when I growled at her.

"Take that off and I would press you against the wall, taking you the way I want; my cock buried deep inside of you while you moan and squirm beneath me restlessly. I would ram into you senselessly till you won't know where you come and I start! " I spat with a hint of dark promise.

Reina shivered, eyes wide as my dirty warning sank into her head. I have been too soft on her, she better know this crass side of me too.

"Now come here, " I commanded.

Without wasting time nor did she try to argue with me, Reina walked over to my bedside. I reached out and made her sit in front of me, her rear end pressing against my member. I hissed out a breath, I was messing with fire here but I didn't care; I needed this.

Slowly, my hands snuggled her stomach from behind while my jaw rested on her shoulder. I inhaled her scent and relaxed.

"ThankGod nothing happened to you," I said to Reina who was stunned by my confession, "You don't know how scared I was yesterday,"

Reina turned her head to stare at me, I wasn't done speaking, "I love you Reina but can you please be careful with my heart? I don't know how many surprises I can take anymore without losing it, please,"

Contrary to my expectation, Reina didn't say a word, she just kept staring at me like a fan seeing a celebrity for the first time and when I thought of closing this chapter to make things less awkward between us, I heard a comment that made my heart stop.

"I'm sorry for lying to you, husband,"
