Chapter 47 - Reactions
"Still," Leia's eyes glared at him, and she wrapped her arm tightly around her body.
Adrik gazed at her, and his face became amused at her reaction. "Little wife, we are married, and I also promised you that I wouldn't do anything to you without your consent, so relax. I just want to bathe you myself. " He closed the tap and got up to walk to her.
Leia gazed at him, and he pulled her up from the block by the wrist. He stared at her and waited for her to give her consent.
Leia creased her brow and uncertainty flashed in her eyes. She lifted her head to glance at him, and a deep breath escaped her lips. "Fine, but... turn around." She stared at him with an arched brow.
Adrik shook his head in an amused manner and turned around to have his back facing her.
Leia unzipped the dress and slid out of it. She took her underwear off and slowly slipped her slender body into the warm, bubbling water that smelled so refreshing and nice. "You can turn around now." She said, and slowly rested her head on the edge of the tub.
Adrik turned around and glanced at her. He took his suit jacket and shirt off, leaving his upper body bare, and walked to her. He took his seat on the edge of the bathtub and smiled at her.
Leia rolled her eyes and slowly shut them as she relaxed her body. "Do your thing, but don't even think of going far, or else... " She grinned wickedly with her eyes shut and took a nice deep breath.
Adrik shook his head, clearly amused by her action, and took the soft sponge from the plastic white container. He bubbled it up and placed it on her shoulder, then he scooped up a handful of water and slowly poured it on her body. He did the same on her hair and combed it back with his fingers.
Leia relaxed more comfortably and let out a soft sigh.
Adrik removed the sponge from her body and gently brushed it against her shoulder, then her collar bone. His other hand trailed on the tattoos on her neck, and Leia's body abruptly shivered. He retracted his hand and continued brushing the sponge on her body.
He slid down further with his hand and brushed it on her belly and almost her abdomen, then came back up to her little mountains and tenderly brushed the sponge on them. Leia's body stiffened the moment he brushed her breasts with the sponge, and she became motionless. What was going on with her? He didn't even touch her, and her body is reacting in this way.
Adrik continued to scrub her body and he scooped a handful of water and spread it on her body. Then he resumed scrubbing her body. However, this time he went down further to her legs and slowly scrubbed her thighs while making sure not to do something that would warrant him a hard punch on the face.
He got back up and brushed her back as his eyes stared at the beautiful floral tattoos on her back. "They are beautiful." He trailed his fingers on them, and Leia's mind went into chaos. She threw her head back and relaxed into his touch. Wait, was he even touching her?
Adrik came back to the front and decided to give her body one last scrub before he washed her up. He slid down to her breasts and brushed on them. The instant his finger accidentally touched her nipples, it reacted and erected, causing Leia to throw her head back in slight pleasure and inhale deeply. Why is she reacting this way? This feeling is unfamiliar to her.
Adrik halted scrubbing on her skin and he gazed at Leia's face, which was flushed. His brow creased in confusion, and he stared down at her. What is going on with his little wife? Why was she reacting as though she was having some pleasure?
And why the hell is her face so flushed? He didn't even see her body as she was inside the bubbled water, nor did he even touch her, except that he was scrubbing her skin with the sponge... Wait a minute, was she...Adrik's eyes fluttered in disbelief and he hurriedly stopped scrubbing her skin as his wolf, which was calm all along, suddenly erupted within him and his eyes changed from that of green to red and back to green.
He stood up immediately from the edge of the bathtub and cleared his throat, causing Leia to open her eyes and stare at him. She hastily lowered her head as she could feel that her face was shades of red and fiddled with her fingers.
Adrik smiled at her and lowered his body a little to pat her on the head. "I will be having my shower on the other side, so... finish up on your own, okay."
Leia slightly nodded at him with her head still lowered and hugged her knees to her chest. Adrik turned around and walked out of the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.
He walked into the other bathroom and slid off his pants, then he turned the shower on and the warm water poured down on his pale, flawless skin. A deep breath escaped his nose as he combed back his wet hair with his fingers.
'What is wrong with you?' He asked his wolf with a displeased expression on his face.
[What? She's our mate, and I fucking desire her! I want her. I want to nuzzle her] Kai's face puckered in displeasure.
'I told you, you can't do anything with her yet until she knows us and accepts us.' Adrik took a deep breath and rubbed his eye.
[Fine..] Kai rolled its eyes in annoyance and fell silent.
"Good." Adrik ignored him and finished up showering. He swatted himself in a white robe, which was kept on a glass shelf in the bathroom, and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
He began to dry his hair with the white towel in his hand and glanced at the bed to see Leia, already dressed in blue pyjamas and lying down peacefully with her eyes shut.
He finished up with his hair and walked to the bed, then slipped himself beside her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her closer to him and shut his eyes. As the time ticked away, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
