“So, how many children do you want?”
“Maybe two or three. I want at least a girl and a boy.”
I stroked Helena’s hair and smiled. “I’m sure our children will be beautiful and handsome.”
“Yes.”
My mind was wandering, though, since I knew that it might be only wishful thinking to have our babies, even a baby. Yet, I didn’t want to dampen my spirit and Helena’s joy. I then mindlessly stroked her hair. “I truly love your hair’s smell.”
“It’s just rose fragrant shampoo. You must love the rose smell.”
“That and combined with your natural fragrance too.” I inhaled and grinned. Later, I whispered, “It makes me turn on immediately.”
Helena gasped and hit my chest playfully. “Ethan!”
“Hey, I’m telling you the truth anyway.”
“But still, telling it like that sounds too scandalous.”
I laughed out loud until my head bent back a bit. “My shy mate.” I grinned and stared at Helena. “I wonder how long will it take until you don’t blush anymore when I tease you with sexy words or touches.”
Helena shook her head. “I don’t know. It’s just, well, you know, it’s all too new for me.”
“Yes, you are a virgin. So, sensuality may be another new world to you.” I kissed Helena slowly. “Don’t worry! I’ll teach you whatever you need to know.”
“Thank you.” Again, Helena blushed as I touched her body.
“See? We have had physical intimacy in bed a few times already, yet, you’re still blushing. Oh, I would love to see and wait how long I will not see you blushing again, even after my teasing and touching. I will make it my challenge to make you get used to my touch.”
Helena pursed her lips. “You’re naughty.”
“Only to you, my darling.”
Helena kissed my chin. “Thank you. I love that.”
“That I’m only naughty to you?”
“Uh-huh.”
I grinned and stroked Helena’s hair again. “Okay, I’ll wait until you give me my reward yourself. Meanwhile, let’s go rest.”
“Yes.” But then Helena remembered Freya immediately. “Oh, no! I must call my mother first. She may wait for me to go home.”
“Okay then.”
Helena called Freya, and it was true since Freya was waiting for Helena to come home.
“Mom, I’m with Ethan right now. So, I may come home late. I hope you don’t mind that.”
“Oh, it’s okay. I trust Ethan. Have you had your dinner yet?”
“Not yet, but I’m about to have my dinner soon.”
“Okay. I will have mine now. Enjoy your dinner, sweetheart.”
“Thanks, mom. You too!” Then Helena ended the call. “My mother trusted you so much. She didn’t mind when I told her that I was with you.”
“She has approved me already as your spouse, my darling. That’s why.”
Helena nodded. “Maybe.”
“Let’s eat. You must be hungry.” I then ordered Ernie to prepare dinner for us through my mind link.
That was when Helena’s stomach sounded like a hundred people were shouting. It was a loud growl from her stomach until she was blushing. “Oh, how embarrassing!”
I laughed until I held my stomach. “It’s normal! Your stomach protests to ask the right.”
Then Helena laughed too when she heard that. “You’re right! I’m lucky that I have you. Other men may find me so embarrassing.’
“Because you are my mate, darling.” I stole a kiss from Helena’s lips.
“Yes.”
I kissed Helena again until we forgot about dinner, but instead, we found another hunger and thirst for each other. Then, when I was about to open Helena’s shirt, Ernie knocked, and she cheerfully smiled.
“Dinner is ready.” She walked inside and put the tray on the table. At that time, Ernie only realized that Helena and I were in the middle of something else, for sure, other than expecting dinner. “Oopsie! I’ll leave now! Sorry, Alpha and Luna. I don’t mean to interrupt anything.” Then Ernie left as fast as possible.
I released Helena and laughed again until my stomach hurt.
“Oh, why are you laughing? It’s been several times since Ernie saw me in this situation.”
“What situation?” I grinned, teasing Helena.
“You know, this!” Again, Helena blushed. Her face, her neck, and her ears all were red now.
“See? I love seeing you blush.”
“Aw, you’re truly naughty! I need to punish you.”
I grinned again. “Okay, what’s my punishment? I’ll take it gladly.”
“Your punishment will erase the reward. So, we are even now.”
“No! I want my reward.”
Helena giggled, feeling that she had won this time. “Sorry, but I think since you’re so naughty today, you don’t deserve your reward.”
I said nothing, sulked, and ate my dinner. It was a great meal, actually: macaroni and beef, roasted sausages with tomato sauce and black pepper, vegetable salad with dressing, crab soup, and cheesecake. Last but not least, a red wine mixed with soda and ice cubes.
Helena should pretend that she didn’t see how I sulked. She even kept saying, “It’s so delicious.”, “Oh, it’s splendid.” or “My, isn’t it a great dish?”
Finally, after holding myself, I couldn’t stand it anymore. “You deliberately do that, don’t you?”
“Do what?” Helena blinked her eyes as innocently as possible.
“See? I know you’re an enchantress. I can’t win against you.”
Helena giggled again and stroked my stomach. “Don’t be such a sulking boy. It’ll ruin your handsomeness.”
“Ah, so you think I’m handsome.” Now, I stopped sulking and smiled from ear to ear. “Okay then. For that, I’ll not sulk again.”
We laughed to see how childish I was. After finishing our dinner, we enjoyed the mixed wine and soda.
“I’m so happy to see you here.”
I nodded. “So am I. But unfortunately, I’ll leave again tomorrow.”
“Oh, your business.”
“Yes.” I didn’t stare at Helena at all.
“Will it take you a long time?”
“I don’t know. Maybe, but I’ll keep thinking of you.”
Helena let out a long sigh, but she finally nodded. “I’ll keep thinking of you too. I miss you already.”
