I glanced out the window, noting the relatively dim lighting reflecting off the morning snow. It must’ve still been quite early in the morning, considering how soundly Jane was still sleeping in the crook of my arm.
I carefully leaned over her to grab my phone. The screen lit up with a single flick, revealing all the notifications I had received from my family, company, and security team.
From my family, it was mostly just a bunch of jumbled-up messages from my mother with more typos than I could count, asking about how the trip was going. I quickly typed out a few short responses telling her about how well the last few days went, including a couple of pictures from our visit to the main village on the first day and pictures of Liam going down his first ski slope from yesterday.
Closing my family’s chat, I moved on to my overflowing inbox and skimmed over a couple of the emails. Deeming it to be mostly useless stuff, I opted to skip to Joseph’s text messages instead. It seemed like everything was doing fine without my presence, which was probably due to the rampant rumors tearing through my New York office where my employees were warning each other not to get on my bad side after how harshly I dealt with the corrupted VPs in my European offices over winter. Let’s just say I was really pissed to have been dragged away from my angels to another country for such an idiotic reason and had to release my anger on somebody.
Typing the password into one of my hidden apps, I unlocked the special chat system that I shared with my security team and found a few messages from Watson.
“Mrs. Albedo has not left the house since the night of the reception, but there has been quite a bit of commotion going on inside the house. Lights stayed on until late at night, and there were several reports of shouting. Although we have not been able to infiltrate the house, her son has still been leaving the house to report to his company every morning and appears to have a limp. Cannot confirm if it is a case of domestic violence based on the audio recordings received from the bug on her son, but we still continue monitoring and keep you updated, sir.”
I sighed at the report.
I was glad that she hadn’t tried anything since she bumped into Liam at the reception, but I can’t say that I was all that surprised by what may have be going on in that household.
It was very likely that that woman was an abuser, especially when considering how Liam had reacted from only running into her and how meek her husband and son seemed in comparison to her. Jane’s recount and Watson’s report only added to it.
My eyes flickered away from my phone when I felt a slight shift in my arms.
Jane sleepily turned around in my arms until she was facing my chest. Like a little kitten, she nuzzled up against my chest and released a soft purr when she finally found a comfortable position with half of her body draped adorably across my body.
My heart fluttered in adoration.
I quickly typed out a reply to Watson before tossing my phone aside. Turning my full attention back to my lovely wife, I pulled her even closer to me and pressed a loving kiss to the top of her head.
She hummed softly at the feeling. With her eyes still closed, she released a small yawn and noted, “You’re up early, Achi…”
Overwhelming by her cuteness, I couldn’t help planting another loving kiss on the corner of her eye, eliciting a soft whine from my wife.
“Achi… I can’t… I’m still sore from yesterday…”
I chuckled lightly at the memory of watching her slip and slide all over the place on the ski slope yesterday like a baby deer. I lovingly nuzzled up against her cheek and promised, “I’m not trying to start anything, love. I just can’t help myself from peppering you with kisses when you act so adorable.”
She gave a doubtful hum but nodded in acceptance anyway.
As I settled back down next to her, I tenderly interlaced our fingers together and asked, “Do you want to try it again today? Liam seemed to have really taken a liking to it.”
She grumbled, “He picked it up so quickly, going down the green and blue slopes so easily… I can’t even go down the bunny slopes for babies without falling…”
I pecked her adorable duck lips and reassured her, “Love, kids tend to pick up new things faster. There’s no need to feel pressured.”
Her pout quickly melted with my touch, leaving a softened expression in its wake. She mumbled quietly, “Maybe it would be better if you go up with Liam by yourselves. I don’t seem to have much of a knack for these types of things.”
I furrowed my eyebrows at the thought of leaving her alone and shook my head. “We could stay with you instead. I’m sure Liam wouldn’t mind.”
She stubbornly refused, “I saw how much Liam enjoyed it yesterday. I don’t want to take that away from him. I’ll be fine by myself.”
I pursed my lips, unconvinced.
She quickly added, “I promise I’ll stay with the guards the entire time, so please don’t worry… Liam was really looking forward to skiing with you again today…”
I sighed, giving in to her once again. I kissed her tenderly on her forehead, feeling a bit remorseful, and promised her, “I’ll be thinking of you the whole day, so please stay safe for both your sake and mine.”
She nodded meekly.
Trying to get my head off the topic, she flashed me one of her bright, beautiful smiles and asked me, “Then, until we have to get up, do you mind helping me with my sore bones?”
I quirked an eyebrow, not quite sure of what she was thinking, but a single thought did come to mind.
I sat up abruptly, earning a curious look from my wife as I pulled her into my lap with her back leaning against my chest. She was so small that I could easily lean over her and reach the ends of her toes with my fingertips.
I carefully eased one of her slender legs into my hands and gently but firmly rolled my fingertips into her muscles. I started from the bottom of her calf and slowly made my way up her leg.
When I reached the inside of my thigh, pressing only ever so lightly into the tender flesh, Jane suddenly let out a small squeak in surprise, making me look at her curiously. This was what she wanted, right? A massage?
Her face was bright red underneath the fingers that were trying to hide her embarrassment. She shakily explained, “I-I t-thought you would just run me a b-bath…”
I chuckled softly at her adorable expression. Taking advantage of her flustered state, I easily maneuvered her leg over my bent knee and pulled her back flush against my chest, leaving her completely exposed to me.
Her face turned into an even darker shade of red as I ran my hand along the inside of her leg, skimming past her intimate region between her legs and reaching up her flat stomach to cup her soft breasts in my oversized hands. She moaned softly and threw her head back against my shoulder as I rolled her nipples between my fingers, giving my other hand a chance to sneak my other hand down between her legs. A delightful gasp escaped from her parted lips as my thick digits plunged into her already wet folds.
I lightly nipped the side of her arched neck and whispered lowly in her ear, “But it seems like you are enjoying this much more than a bath, my dear.”
She squeezed her eyes shut, pantingly wordlessly as my thicks curled up inside of her, pressing directly on her sweet spot.
Pride swelled in my chest at the sight, knowing that I, and only I, could make her melt so easily with a single touch.
I teasingly ran the tip of my tongue along the edge of her ear as my fingers continued to work on her ever-so-responsive body. I could tell that she was getting close by the way she clamped down on my fingers, panting even heavier than before.
Right as she was about to hit her peak, a soft knock sounded on our door as a little voice called out, “Mom? Dad? Are you awake yet?”
Jane tensed up ever so slightly in my arms, but I knew that she was much too close to stop now as I continued to pump my fingers into her. I coaxed her softly, “Come on, love. Just let it go for me.”
She shook her head stubbornly, squeezing her eyes tightly shut as she tried to hold them back. Between her pants, she desperately pleaded, “A-Achi… P-please… H-He’s g-going to know…”
Although she was scared of being caught, she wasn’t outright denying my touch.
I sped up my fingers and pinched her nipple, lightly tugging on her bud as her folds grew even wetter at my action. I seductively whispered into her ear, “He won’t know a thing, my love… The room is perfectly soundproof, so why don’t you be a good girl for me and show me how much you love my touch?”
Her fingers dug into my arm as she tried to hold it back. Still shaking her head stubbornly even though she couldn’t even come up with any words anymore.
Sending her over the edge, I bit down on the tip of her ear, making her cream all over my hand as I worked her through her orgasm. By the time she came down from her high, my hand was left dripping with her juices.
I pulled my fingers out of her with a satisfying plop as I looked over at my half-dazed girl, who still had her head hanging in the clouds.
As another knock came to our door, I carefully eased myself out from behind her and climbed out of bed, making her look up at me in confusion. I winked at her as I sucked her juices off of my fingers and licked my hand clean, “Thanks for the tasty breakfast, darling.”
Her head practically combusted at my words. All she could do was stutter wordlessly as her face slowly turned into a bright red cherry.
I chuckled softly as I dried my hand on a small towel. I quickly pulled on a pair of sweatpants before answering the door, making sure not to open it all the way to avoid revealing his ever-so-naked mother, who was sitting completely dazed on the bed.
Liam looked up at me, completely oblivious to our previous activities, and innocently asked, “Why are you blocking the door, Dad?”
I smiled at his innocence.
As I picked him up into my arms, I harmlessly told him a white lie and replied, “Mom is still tired from yesterday’s ski trip, so why don’t we give her a bit more time to rest? It’s just going to be you and me for today, okay?”
He nodded obediently, glancing over my shoulder in an attempt to take a look at her, but I had already closed my door behind me, giving my adorably flustered wife some privacy.
Redirecting his attention, I asked him what he wanted for breakfast, making him whip his head around in a single flash and completely forget about his curiosities from before.
As I followed my lively little boy to the kitchen, I couldn’t help chuckling silently to myself at the current situation.
I would never get tired of teasing my adorable wife.
