“Are you full just by looking at me?” When Richard looked up at her, he saw Angela leaning her chin on her hand as if he could read her mind.
Her lips curled into a grin as she exclaimed, “I’m not only full but there’s also something aesthetically pleasing.”
“I’ve made you worried.” He apologized, remarking that he had observed that she appeared to have lost weight, which he knew must have been the result of her concern for him.
“I was worried about you. While you were away, I was at a loss as to how I should spend each day. Thank God you returned sooner than I expected,” she exclaimed cheerfully.
Back then, Richard kept rejecting the notion of being assigned a position back in his country. Now that he had found someone he wanted to spend his life with, the wanderer had finally found a reason to stay.
“I promise to be by your side as best as I can,” Richard assured her.
Angela, who knew him well, shook her head. “You don’t need to change anything for me; just be yourself. I like you because of your bravery, responsibility, and your patriotic spirit to protect the country. It’s just that I hope you don’t hide anything from me.”
Relieved, he felt very fortunate to have such an understanding wife.
After supper, the two went back to the room as Angela looked at the huge bed before looking at the man. “Are you allowed to bathe?”
He looked at the cast on his leg. “I don’t think I can, but I can wipe myself down.”
“Do you need help?” She lowered her
head and asked shyly.
“If you want to help, I think I might need. it.” The man looked at her passionately.
“Okay! I’ll help you.” Angela was all but too willing, for he was about to become her husband. What is there to be embarrassed about?
Yet, it was only after she helped him wipe his upper body that she got chased out by the man, who said that she was not allowed to do the lower part.
When Richard came out again, he had a black sleeping robe on. Even though his leg prevented him from walking normally, his strong body could still make one’s heart skip a beat as he sat on the couch.
“I’m going to shower now.” Angela shyly went into the bathroom. When she came out, she was donning a white nightgown that her mother gave her while her hair was flowing freely, which gave her a sultry look.
She had searched up the Internet on various topics inside the bathroom like, Would leg injuries prevent sexual activities?’ In the end, she found that the doctors recommended not to do it as a second fracture might occur.
Looking at the man seated on the couch, she noticed that it was already 3.00AM, yet she was still very much awake with no hint of exhaustion. Full of vigor and spirit, she said to the man, “Let’s sleep!”
Richard looked at her with a hot gaze before he walked to the bed and reached out to her. “Come here,” he uttered with a hoarse voice.
Obediently approaching him, Angela fell into his embrace as he breathed somewhat roughly while lifting her chin out, trying to connect her lips with his.
She quickly buried her face in his chest and warned him, “Richard, don’t even think about it. The experts online said that you should not do anything reckless with your injury. Your wounds matter.”
“Don’t worry, this won’t affect our time together, the man replied confidently.
As she was not about to let him have his way, Angela held back from intimate moments to ensure that his wound would recover.
