Arrange Marriage

Ch 39 /Sweet words/

As the dawn light gently filtered through the window, it was already 5 in the morning. Pavel slowly opened his eyes, longing to check the time. Yet, he found himself held tightly by his husband, who had nestled his face into Pavel's neck, their legs entwined. A warm smile spread across Pavel's face as he admired his affectionate partner. Just as he thought to slip away, Pooh pulled him even closer, deepening their embrace.

POOH: Let’s sleep a little longer, baby.

Pooh murmured in a low, husky voice that sent a delightful shiver down Pavel’s spine.

Pavel: P'tin… it’s already morning. Today is my first day in the house, and I really need to wake up early.

Pooh: Waking up for what, baby? Don’t worry—there are maids to handle everything. Just cuddle with me. Come on.

Pavel: But.......

Pooh: You love me or not.

Pooh frowned slightly as he looked up at Pavel's face, and Pavel couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

Pavel: I do.

He replied, gently caressing his husband’s cheek. In that moment, Pooh resembled an adorable puppy—so irresistibly cute.

Pavel: But your parents might have woken up already.

Pooh: They haven’t. Trust me. They’ll probably sleep until 8 or 9 AM. Everyone’s tired and needs the extra rest. Besides, we arrived late last night.

Pooh continued to gaze at Pavel with a frown, so Pavel leaned in and kissed his cheek as an apology. That simple gesture worked like magic—Pooh’s expression brightened, and happiness filled his eyes.

Pooh: Can I have more??

Pooh, still smiling, turned and offered his other cheek for a kiss. Pavel gently pressed his lips to Pooh's other cheek as well.

Pooh: What about...

Pooh touched his own lips, a playful grin on his face.

Pavel: Let’s sleep again.

With that, Pavel flipped Pooh onto his side and cuddled him close.

Pooh: That’s not fair, baby. Where’s my kiss?

Pavel: I already gave you one!

Pooh pouted playfully, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Pooh: But I want another! Just one more, please.

Pavel chuckled, unable to resist that adorable look. He leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on Pooh's lips.

Pavel: There, happy now?

Pooh smiled wide, snuggling even closer.

Pooh: Much better. Now, how about we stay awake a little longer?

Pavel raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile forming.

Pavel: Oh? And what do you have in mind?

Pooh leaned in closer, his breath warm against Pavel’s ear.

Pooh: I was thinking we could explore a few more kisses... maybe a little more than that.

Pavel laughed softly, his heart racing.

Pavel: You know you’re trouble, right?

Pooh grinned, his eyes sparkling.

Pooh: Only for you, baby.

Pooh: So, what do you say? Let’s make the most of our morning.

Pavel leaned in closer, his eyes glinting with mischief.

Pavel: You’re quite the bold one today, aren’t you?

Pooh: No, you are the bold one today. You used to get shy before even yesterday.

Pavel: Is that so??

Pooh: It is baby. My babe is already comfortable with me.

Pooh smirked, twirling a finger playfully along Pavel’s arm.

Pavel: So, what you want??

Pooh: Just trying to make the morning a little more interesting.

Pavel chuckled, brushing his lips softly against Pooh’s.

Pavel: Interesting? I like where this is going.

Pooh leaned in, whispering in a teasing tone,

Pooh: How about we skip the morning routine and focus on some... more intimate activities?

Pavel raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

Pavel: Oh? And what exactly do you have in mind, Mr. Bold?

Pooh bit his lip, his playful gaze locking onto Pavel’s.

Pooh: Let’s just say I’ve been thinking about a few ways to keep us occupied.

Pavel smirked, pulling him even closer.

Pavel: You know I love a good challenge. Just don’t think I’ll go easy on you.

Pooh grinned, his heart racing with excitement.

Pooh: I wouldn’t want it any other way. Let’s see just how much fun we can have before anyone else wakes up.

With that, they melted into each other kiss.

As they pulled back slightly, their foreheads touching, Pooh’s breath hitched with anticipation.

Pooh: So, what’s the first challenge?

Pavel’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

Pavel: How about a little game? Whoever can make the other laugh first gets to choose our next activity.

Pooh raised an eyebrow, his playful spirit ignited.

Pooh: You think you can make me laugh?

Pavel grinned, leaning back.

Pavel: Alright, let’s see....

Pavel: What did the jar of honey say to the other jar?

Pooh: I don’t know, what?

Pavel leaned in closer, whispering with a smirk,

Pavel: You’re so sweet, you make my heart melt!

Pooh burst into laughter, the sound bright and carefree.

Pooh: I love it!

Pavel laughed along, enjoying the moment.

Pooh: Is it for me?? Am I that sweet??

Pavel: Might be.

Pooh: Then you should taste me more.

Pavel: Don't change the topic, now. I won, you laughed.

Pavel (pausing for a moment) : Guess that means I get to pick, right?

Pooh playfully nudged him.

Pooh: Fine, what’s your plan, master of humor?

Pavel’s gaze turned serious for a moment, his voice dropping to a softer tone.

Pavel: How about we just stay here a little longer, enjoy the quiet, and see where the morning takes us?

Pooh felt a flutter in his chest, the warmth of Pavel’s words wrapping around him like a cozy blanket.

Pooh: I expected more but that's okay too. We were already doing that before.

Pavel: Come on

Pooh: Okay, okay. I will rather have you in my arms. Better than nothing.

With a shared smile, they settled into each other’s embrace, the world outside forgotten as they again drifted back to sleep.
