She pretended to him as if she was sleeping. She doesn’t want to argue with him anymore. She was tired of him convincing her to leave this place. She understood that he was determined about his decision and would not change his mind. It’s a waste of her time to talk about it with him.

Adrian noticed the fluttering eyelids of hers and understood that she was acting as if she was in deep sleep. He turned off the lights in their bedroom. He reminded them that she requested earlier to sleep in his embrace. So he picked up in a bridal style and said,” I know you are not sleeping. Open your eyes. You are so poor at acting skills”

Instantly she opened her eyes and looked angrily at his face. ” I don’t want to sleep beside you. Leave me” she shouted.

” As a husband, I must fulfil my wife’s wishes. She wanted to sleep in my arms every night during the pregnancy. So stop shouting…” he informed, pulling more close to his chest. Then he tried to kiss her forehead but she turned away her head not to accept his kiss. She was still upset as he didn’t come searching for her when she left the room.

He laid her on the bed and joined her. She slept on her side showing her back to him. ” Baby… I know you are upset with my decision. But Please please understand why I made this decision. We can’t run away from this problem or hide from Grayson forever ” he whispered in her ears, placing his hands around her stomach. He gently pulled her to him and her back was touching his chest. 

She was silently listening to his words, still closing her eyes. ” Baby…speak with me. Don’t give me silent treatment ” he pleaded to her in a low voice.

” Neither, I don’t want to talk about this topic, not interested in talking with you. Because I am so tired and sleepy. I will be glad if you let me sleep now. ” she said rudely.

” Okay, sleep. Good night, Love ” saying he kissed the nape of her neck. She took away his hands from her body and moved away from him. When she distanced herself from him, he felt as if she stabbed with a knife in his heart. He felt dejected. But he remained quiet thinking as she was still upset with their earlier discussion. He covered both of them with the quilt as it was snowing heavily outside. He doesn’t want her to catch a cold. Then he laid on his back and stared blankly at the ceiling. He was thinking about how she showed her anger by moving away from him. He planned to pamper her when she became pregnant again as he was not there with her at her first pregnancy. But now, the situation was favourable to him. Even though he knew that his actions were hurting her, he was in a helpless position.

” Do I lose her love in the battle against Grayson! ” he thought in his mind. 

When he was busily in his thoughts, she stirred towards him in her sleep that he brought back to reality. He noticed her pale face, dark circles under her eyes. He tugged the strands of her hair beside her ears with his fingers to get a better view of her face. When his cold fingers touched her face, she moved closer to him in her sleep for warmth. She adjusted her head on his arm and wrapped her hands around his torso. With her closeness, he had a small smile on his lips. He pecked her forehead and closed his eyes. He felt so peaceful with her presence in his arms. Slowly he went into the deep slumber.

…

The next morning arrived soon but both were still cuddling with each other. After some time, Katherine opened her eyes as she felt heavy in her chest. She noticed her husband was sleeping soundly placing his head on her chest even though it was late in the morning. 

” Instead of me, why is he sleeping like a pregnant woman who is suffering from morning sickness! ” she thought and pushed him away from her. But she could not come out of his tight grip. 

” Buttercup…let me sleep for some more time. Don’t wriggle and disturbed my sleep ” he yawned, still closing his eyes. His breath was touching her neck. Then he started mumbling in his sleep, ” Don’t you know it is a sin to disturb your husband’s sleep. Especially when he was sleeping while hugging his beautiful wife ” 

He was in dreamland forgetting about their problems, their fights and their differences. In his sleepy state, he ran his hands inside her nightgown and started caressing her round balls. She felt tickles when his fingers were running over her body. 

” Very soft like marshmallows. It had been many days, I tasted them…” he said, kneading her left boob. Her body was on fire with his touches. She closed her eyes slowly melting in his touch. Her fingers moved to his scalp while slightly caressing his hair. He opened his eyes and raised his head. He looked at his wife who was a natural beauty. She found her under him with closed eyes as if she was in his magic spell. Just then she opened her eyes when she didn’t sense his touch. She looked at her husband who was already staring at her. He smirked at her. Before she understood the meaning of his smirk, he tore her silk nightgown that exposed her upper part before his eyes. He licked his lips looking at her round balls just like a kid licks his lips on seeing his favourite dessert. 

She was amused by his sudden act and before she came out of shock, his lips pressed to her left boob then took her hard bud into his mouth. He started suckling her bud as if he was thirsty for many years. 

Her mind was also clouded in his desire and gripped his hair with her long delicate fingers. But when closed her eyes, she was reminded of their argument, the news and his closeness with Emily. She became so insecure with the thoughts. 

All of a sudden, she pushed him away from her, gathering all her energy. She doesn’t know what came into her mind.. Adrian was shocked by the sudden change in her and looked at her confusingly.
