It's been two months of pure bliss. Jae-eon's heart was still fluttering at the sight of his beautiful wife. Especially as the morning sun filtered into their apartment through the butterfly sun catcher.

Once again, he was still reeling from the reality that is. And that wife was waking up from her slumber while snuggled into his side.

"You're awake." She said before scooting a bit to stare at him. He hummed in response.

"Do we have to go out today?" She asked. "I don't want to. I want to sleep in."

"But we have to. Remember we already made plans with the tattoo artist." He brought her hand up to his lips and pecked it. The matching infinity tattoos had been their idea of an official wedding band because neither of them could handle wearing rings per say. They craved something different that could be imprinted for life and that's where the infinity tattoos came up. But he wanted to have another butterfly etched onto his skin.

She groaned but still made attempts to stand up. "You haven't told me what else you wanted to get. Another butterfly?"

"Yes. It's completely different this time. A Taiwanese black-star hairstreak butterfly. A butterfly with lots of black spots on its wings."

"A what what? That's a mouthful. Where though?" He took one of her hands and placed it across his chest, just over his heart. "Here."

"What's got into you? You said you weren't going to tell me about it until I saw it. Are you sick?" She quickly touched his forehead with her palm.

"No." He chuckled. "I just thought I could tell you now since we are going there anyway. Besides, it is still a surprise."

"A surprise that you are getting another butterfly tattoo. Wow! I'm shocked." She moved and jumped off the bed before he could reach her. When she was a few steps away, she turned back and brought her tongue out.

Seconds later, he had her in his grasp, tickling her giggling form and dragging them towards the bathroom.

Just another beautiful day being married in Granada.

"You said the tattoos weren't going to hurt after some days, it's been seven days already. Why does it hurt so much? Huh? Make it stop." Nabi whined that evening as they sat on the balcony of their apartment, overlooking the city.

Jae-eon chuckled. There had been some exciting changes that he found out after marriage. For one, Nabi loved to be babied as much as she was independent. "You didn't used to be this whiny. What changed? I remember you always hid your pain."

"What? Do you hate it? Too bad. We are married now. So, kiss the pain away and stop complaining about your good luck." She stood up immediately and sat on his thighs, tilted her neck to the side to give him access to the three small accending butterflies that started from her neck to the back of her ear.

Without hesitation, he pulled her back to lean on his chest and placed feather like kisses on the spot. His actions triggering her as she shivered on his body. The weather was mildly chill to blame it on.

He tracing the butterflies with slow kisses until he captured her earlobe in his teeth and she gasped.

"That's not what I said you should do." She said through shaky voice.

"But you like it. Your body does. Do you want me to stop?"

"Do you want to die?"

"You've got to stop hanging out with Bitna. She's rubbing off, too much on you." He scolded without a hint of malice.

"Okay. Let me rephrase that sentence. 'Do you want to sleep on the couch?'"? She asked, turning her a bit to give him a side glance.

"Not if you are going to sleep beside me over there too."

"Finish what you started then." She stood up and just when he thought she was going to leave, she sat down on his thighs but this time, facing him. She held his neck with all seriousness, massaging his back hair. "I never got to tell you this and I think I should."

His mind was alert, wondering what could have changed the mood so quickly. "What is it?"

"I never thanked you for applying to the School of Arts in Paris for me. So, thank you." One hand came forward to trace his face from his brow down to his cheekbone to his lips. "Also, the butterfly sculpture I made that day was as a result of how you've always made me feel — special. Nabi was simply a name until you made it more. You brought out the me that I never knew existed into the spotlight. Whenever I feel down, I only have to remember my name, my essence and what it's like to be adored beyond borders. I love you till infinity."

Jae-eon stared at her, speechless and enamoured. He thought he loved her yesterday but at this moment, he fell in love all over again like it was the first time he set his eyes on her. She was his and he was hers.

He held her face and pecked her lips. "I love you Nabi."

After the kiss, she removed her hands from his neck.

"You can continue with what you were doing." She made an attempt to stand up but he held her waist.

Jae-eon watched her as she fiddled with her fingers, a sign that she was contemplating whether to be brave or not. It made him smile that the woman he fell in love with years ago was still here. Time had only matured their minds and bodies but their souls were still the same.

Instead of letting her make the first move as he often did, he tilted her chin upward and leaned in to slowly kiss her. The familiar tingling sensation they shared filling him up and he pulled her tighter to himself. Requesting permission to delve deeper into her mouth and in that moment, making a vow to never let her go.

When they pulled back for air, her face was glowing. The kind that left him speechless and though breathless, he still chased after those lips like his life depended on it. But she had other ideas.

She traced small circles on his chest whilst avoiding his gaze. Her voice came like a whisper, "I want more."

He chuckled and quirked a brow. "How? You have to tell me exactly what you want this time." When the words left his mouth, he decided to do something different as the idea blossomed in his mind.

"I want you in my mouth and other open spaces in my body." She whispered.

The stupid grin in his face kept widening. "So, you mean your nostrils can take me too?" He teased and she smacked his chest.

"What?! You know that's not what I mean!" He laughed and she added, "Stop teasing me. I'm serious."

"I know." His tone serious again. "You're in charge Nabi. So, do what you will with my body. I'm all yours." He took her hand from his chest and guided it down his abdomen down to rest on the button of his jeans before letting go.

He watched her, unable to contain his excitement as the desire pooled in her eyes while she undid his jeans, freeing his already hard length.

Nabi was his...finally.
