His Darling Rogue |18+ (His Darling Series #3)

Chapter 8

"How the ritual go?" Delightedly asked by Amira, just as Khairos put Hennesse down from Kai. The two had just returned from the higher mountains.

Beyond the people that greeted them on their arrival, the familiar envious yet piercing gaze stood out from all. Hennesse felt the cold stare of Reia, who looked at her with such eyes.

"How was it, honey?" Hennesse passed the question.

"It was fine."

"....."

'Is that an insult...?'

'This guy... Ha! My whole body is sore because he kept going until morning, and that's what he says?'

"Just fine?" She asked, repeating his word.

"I mean- it was good..."

'Better.' Thought Hennesse.

"That's good!" Amira joyed. "Now, you just have to wait for the blessing to bloom."

"What..."

'Ah, she must mean a child?'

'That won't happen though. I've taken a lot of medicine to prevent that.'

"Ahem... We will go now, Amira." Khairos spoke, hurriedly pulling Hennesse along with him as they walked past Amira.

He felt abashed to talk about impregnating his wife in front of everyone. More than that, he felt quite embarrassed in front of his wife.

"Honey, we didn't get to properly say goodbye..." Hennesse spoke.

"You don't need to do that." He said, continuing to walk.

"What? Why...?"

"You are the seventh leader's wife. You are not obliged to do anything that you do not want to do. You can do whatever it is you want." Khairos said firmly.

"But leaving just like that-"

"Tsk. You are my wife." Khairos bluntly said, interrupting her sentence. "Know your place." He said in an irritated tone.

Hennesse frowned. 'Should I feel relieved or displeased?'

"...." Hennesse only rolled her eyes at him as she let him drag her to the center of the territory, nearing the blazing fire.

"Honey."

Khairos turned to her with his irritated expression. "What is it?"

"I was wondering, when can we do it again?"

"Do what again?"

"Make love."

"Cough!"

"Well, if you want to, that is." She added.

"Talking about such things out in the open is...!" Khairos felt the warmth rush to his face.

"Then let's talk about it in the bedroom- Mph!"

Khairos quickly covered her mouth. His heated face stared at her with a flustered expression.

"Don't talk more of that!"

"Mph!?" The sounds she made were muffled by his hand.

"Mnn..!"

Khairos covered her mouth well.

She furrowed her brows before licking his hand. Startled, Khairos quickly withdrew his hand and wiped it on his robe.
