In the darkness, the two kissed, and Dulcina Calvo dared to untie Esteban Zaragosa’s battle dress with her small hands of her own free will.
The man reached up and grabbed her restless little hand, pausing in his movements, his dark eyes burning into her, “I haven’t had a proper bath in days, I’m filthy.”
“I don’t care.”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her fondly, with a smile growing under his eyes, “Can’t you wait?”.
Dulcina Calvo blushed at his mockery and hastily withdrew her hand, “I did not!”.
But such a defense is more of a cover-up.
She pulled back from his arms in fright and Esteban Zaragosa no longer teased her as the man got up and went into the bathroom.
When Esteban Zaragosa came out of the bathroom, Dulcina Calvo asked him cautiously, “So, can I sleep here tonight?”
Before she had slept in the bedroom as a matter of course because Esteban Zaragosa was away, but now the owner of the room was back and Esteban Zaragosa had not promised to reconcile with her, she wanted to stay here, but she did not know if the owner would agree.
Esteban Zaragosa grabbed the towel and ran his hand through his short hair, giving it a slight tug. “You don’t sleep at my place and you want to sneak off to someone else’s room?”.
“… I don’t.”
Dulcina Calvo was stunned and reacted with a slight watery-eyed twinkle and a glint of surprise in her eye, “So now we’re reconciled?”
Esteban Zaragosa hooked her thin lips, tossed aside the dry towel in his hand and approached her on long, straight legs, then leaned over slightly and led the petite girl straight to the bed.
“Reconciliation is something I prefer to demonstrate by my actions – what do you think?”
Dulcina Calvo squeezed herself into his arms, her teary eyes rolled back, and she felt … it was for the best as long as she was with him.
“So, you just said you were going to send me back to The Holy City. ”
“It’s too dangerous and the conditions here are too bad to live in.”
Dulcina Calvo was stubborn: “You can live here, why can’t I?”
Esteban Zaragosa’s gaze softened and he pulled her to sit on his lap, “I’m a man and I live in places like this all the time.”
“But Yanamaria Felix and Claudio Belles are girls too, if they can do it, so can I.”
“You are not like them.”
Dulcina Calvo lowered her eyes a little, feeling underestimated by Esteban Zaragosa, but sensing that he was telling the truth, she flattened her little mouth and said with some self-deprecation, “I know I am no match for them, they still must carry weapons, fight and have some ability to defend themselves, and here I am, you must think I will hold you back. I see, if you really want to send me back to The Holy City, then arrange it, I’ll be waiting for you in The Holy City. ”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her so well and a touch of pity arose in his heart, “I mean if it’s Yanamaria Felix or Claudio Belles, if they are having a hard time here or not, I wouldn’t care too much and I wouldn’t feel sorry for them because they are not my women. But you are my wife and I will be heartbroken.”
Dulcina Calvo’s long, thick eyelashes fluttered slightly as she lifted her face and looked up at him with a smile, “Are you sure you’re not lying to me? You’re not just saying that to get me back to The Holy City? When I return to The Holy City, will you come back to The Holy City to see me when you are free?”.
She asked several questions in a whisper, and Esteban Zaragosa’s large hand rested on her slender waist and back, smiling lightly but patiently, she replied, “Yes, I will, I’m not lying to you.”
“So, can you promise me you won’t lie to me again?”
“Okay, I won’t even lie to you from now on.”
The girl’s soft, delicate body threw itself into his arms, and her two soft, slender arms wrapped firmly around his neck.
“If you leave me again, I will never speak to you again.”
Esteban Zaragosa turned his head to one side and kissed her on the temples of her ears and on her soft face, and when he reached her lips, he spoke softly, “I have missed you these days, Dulcina. ”
Dulcina Calvo blushed so much that she didn’t even dare to look directly into his burning, deep gaze, and only whispered in response, “I miss you too…”.
Esteban Zaragosa removed her clothes and pinned her to the bed …
…
Late at night, huddled together.
Dulcina Calvo’s little face was flushed from her strenuous workout and rested in her arms like a little kangaroo.
Esteban Zaragosa bent down and smoothed her sweaty hair behind her ears, kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose, hugged her and asked in a deep voice, “Does it hurt?”
He had not controlled himself now, his movements were not exactly smooth, and she had not experienced any love affairs and would be more or less uncomfortable.
Not wanting to make him feel guilty, Dulcina Calvo smiled sweetly and shook her head, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Esteban Zaragosa put his arm around her waist and said softly, “Next time I’ll be a little lighter.”
Dulcina Calvo is happy tonight, although her body is tired, her spirits are high and her eyes are wide open and staring at the man’s clean face.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the small woman in his arms and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Aren’t you tired?”.
“Esteban Zaragosa, let’s talk for a while!”
Esteban Zaragosa thought about it for a moment, thinking that there did seem to be a lack of verbal communication between them, nodded and asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
Dulcina Calvo thought for a moment and said: “Well … as your family, why do you do such a dangerous job, and … why do you like me?”
“I have no family, my family passed away a long time ago, I grew up around my straight father, and it’s natural for me to enter the Ming Organization to work. As for why I like you, that’s something I’ll tell you later.”
“… you cheat, why this matter has to be told to me later, I want to know now”.
Esteban Zaragosa rubbed his head, “One day you’ll find out for yourself.”
“…”
Dulcina Calvo hugged the sheets, turned her back to him and murmured, “Let it be so mysterious, and even if you don’t tell, I won’t tell you why I like you.”
Esteban Zaragosa cast an amused glance at the little girl, dropped a kiss on her bare, hickey-covered back and took the little girl in his arms from behind.
Esteban Zaragosa was silent, his thin lips kissing the back of her neck, and Dulcina Calvo tingled and shrank back.
“Don’t you want to know why I like you?”
Esteban Zaragosa was completely out of his depth, “I’d rather do it again than this”.
Dulcina Calvo: “…”
Cough, cough, cough.
The next morning, Dulcina Calvo awoke to the sound of running outside.
When he awoke, Esteban Zaragosa was no longer with him.
Dulcina Calvo’s stomach was rumbling with hunger and she was about to get up when the door to her bedroom was pushed open, startling her and she immediately crawled back under the covers.
Esteban Zaragosa carried his breakfast in his hands, put it on the table, walked over on his long legs, sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the covers up for him, “It’s me.”
Dulcina Calvo was picked up by him and the man picked up the clothes scattered on the bed and helped her put them on. “I’ve brought breakfast, see if you like it, if not we’ll go to the canteen and have the cook prepare it for you.”
Dulcina Calvo asked curiously, “Can you still get a cook to do it separately? Wouldn’t that be hated? Wouldn’t everyone eat the same thing, and would I get beaten if I ate too well?”
Esteban Zaragosa raised it: “If they dare to hit you, I will destroy them for you”.
With a sweet heart, Dulcina Calvo threw her arms around Esteban Zaragosa’s neck, wrapped her legs around his waist and hung her whole body over him: “Take me to wash”.
“Weak legs?”
“…”
