She was stressed or was it angry? Rowan could not figure his wife's mood, she was just from work and he swore he saw tear marks on her face now she had shut herself in their room after telling him that she was fine with a tight smile.
It had been three days since he fucked his wife against the wall followed by soft and gentle lovemaking after making her scream. He thought after that everything was going fine but standing on the other side of tje door while his wife cried was tearing him inside out ,making him feel like a failure.
He didn't know what to do, he was frustrated and angry at himself for not knowing his wife well enough and with his emotions everywhere, he decided it would be best if he just left her alone for know, he would push her later.
He walked to his study with a heavy heart, gritting his teeth as every part of his body did not agree with his mind's decision but somehow he convinced himsef it would be best if he leave her be.
Hours passed and midnight crept in, Rowan was still at his study, downing down whisky ignoring the small voice that told him he would regret that decision.
"Ro?" Raven's soft voice called out to him, making him turn to her figure by the door way cringing at her swollen eyes.
"Hey baby." He called out, his voice husky.
" I.. I need you to hold me. " Raven said, her voice shaking with emotions.
At her request, Rowan open his arms to her making Raven rush into them, seating herself on his lap and entwining her hands behind his neck she broke down crying.
Heaving and coughing on her husband, Rowan gently running his uands up and down her back while quitely soothing her.
After a while she calmed down, only hiccups raking through her body.
"I am so tired Ro." She started.
"I always do my best at work you know, but shit always goes south for me." She continued.
"Like today, there was a project we were working on in the past and I did my part well, so I passed it on to the next person to complete their part. And when our supervisor checked it they told me that I didn't do shit, in front of everyone. They begin chastising me on how I shouldn't stop making others do my work and the worst part is that they were laughing at me instead of helping me out. I know it is silly and I should stop playing the victim others had a bit worse than me but it sucked you know. All that hard work and nothing. "
She said her voice cracking at the end.
"It is not for nothing, I know I cannot help with the shitty supervisor but I want you to know that I saw all the long hours you put in that work, the all nighters, the terrible coworkers, the research, the coffee, the tears and the snapping at me. " Rowan said earning a snort of laughter from Raven rhat made him smile.
" Well to be fair, how dare you sleep while I work. " She complained.
" Cause I finished my work early, duh. " Rowan teased earning a soft slap from Raven on his chest.
" What I am trying to say darling is, even if the rest of the world doesn't, I see you, everyday." Rowan said as he looked deep into his wife's warm eyes making her smile at him. Not a normal happy smile but one ridden with pain.
"I do not want to look on the bright side right now!" Raven whined as she snuggled deeper into her husband's chest. "I just want you to hold e and curse with me at my shitty supervisor." She grumbled as she hide her face in his neck.
Her words made Rowan let out a loud laugh,
"Alright darling." He said as he tightened his hands around his wife's waist. "I will hold you as long as you like and curse at that fucking bastard with you for as long as you want."
Raven let out an amused snort followed by a satisfied sigh,
"Thank you."She whispered before drifting off to sleep in her husband's arms.
