After dinner, Rowan cleaned up the dishes. Then he boiled water for Sienna to wash up. As for himself, he just used cold water to wash quickly and was done.
When Sienna finished washing, Rowan carried her into the room and took out a clean towel to dry her hair.
"Wife, has anything happened during this time? Did anyone bully you?"
"No, who would dare? I even helped catch a bad guy, and the police station gave me a 500 reward."
As she spoke, she stopped Rowan from drying her hair. She ran into the room, took out the money, and handed it to him, along with the betrothal gifts from earlier.
Rowan didn't take it. "You keep it. That's yours. In a bit, I'll give you all the money we have at home. You can buy whatever you want."
Sienna looked at him and said, "It's for you to spend."
Rowan pulled her over to sit, continued drying her hair, and said, "Alright, for me to spend. You keep it. When I need it, I'll get it from you."
Hearing that, Sienna put the money away again. Soon, her hair was dry.
Rowan suddenly carried Sienna back to bed and laid her down, then leaned over her.
He kissed her lips deeply. Their bodies pressed close together. The kiss grew more and more passionate.
Rowan's hands began to explore Sienna's body. He gently unbuttoned her clothes and slowly touched her skin. Sienna trembled, her heartbeat sped up, and she felt a kind of excitement she had never experienced before.
As time passed, their kisses became soft and tender. Rowan gently kissed her cheeks, her neck, and slowly moved to her ear. He whispered, "Sienna, I love you."
Sienna's heart raced. She wrapped her arms around Rowan and answered, "Rowan, I love you too."
Time seemed to stop. Rowan gently stroked Sienna's cheek. His eyes were full of affection and love.
He knew his little wife still didn't fully understand what love was, but even if it was just a natural reaction from her, he was very happy.
Rowan's movements slowly became bolder. His lips moved from hers to her neck, then down to her chest. He kissed her gently, using his tongue to tease her, making Sienna shiver.
Sienna's body was slowly overtaken by desire. Her breathing became faster. Rowan felt her longing and his hand moved... causing an even stronger reaction from her.
Rowan lowered his head and asked, "Sienna, did you miss me during this time?"
"Yes."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Rowan stopped holding back and went wild.
It was a crazy night. Sienna didn't even know when she fell asleep—or maybe she fainted.
The next morning, when Sienna woke up, Rowan was still holding her in bed. As she sat up and moved, she felt a strange sensation below. She looked at Rowan in disbelief. "You… you… you…"
She couldn't even speak properly. Rowan looked at her with an innocent face. "What did I do?"
Before Sienna could react, Rowan rolled over with her in his arms and continued his nonsense all morning. By the time Sienna woke up again, he was no longer beside her.
As soon as she sat up, Rowan came in through the door. Seeing she was awake, he went to her right away. "Wife, you're awake. You must be hungry. Let's eat something."
He helped her find clothes and put them on, then carried her out to wash up and fed her.
Sienna didn't resist and quietly enjoyed Rowan's care, but she ignored him.
After taking care of her, Rowan started coaxing his little wife.
"Wife, are you still mad? I was wrong. I promise it won't happen again. We've been apart for so long, and I couldn't control myself. I swear, there won't be a next time. Please believe me, okay?"
Seeing that she still ignored him, Rowan scratched his nose awkwardly. He admitted that he had gone too far, but it wasn't really his fault. They had just started being intimate and then got separated. He couldn't help it for a moment.
"Wife, Sienna, be good, baby. I really know I was wrong. Don't ignore me. It's not worth it to stay mad. Hit me if you need to let out your anger."
Looking at his pitiful expression, Sienna said, "You promise there won't be a next time?"
"Yes, I promise. There absolutely won't be a next time."
"If it happens again, you'll sleep on the floor for a week. We'll sleep in separate beds."
"Alright."
No one knew what Rowan really thought inside, but his goal now was to calm her down.
"Honey, why are you home today? Don't you have training?"
"No need. We just finished a mission, so we have two days off."
"Oh, right. Rowan, I want to discuss something with you."
"Wife, you don't need to discuss anything with me. You're in charge of our home."
"It's not about home matters."
"Alright, tell me."
"The political officer came to visit before and invited me to join the army. I want to ask what you think."
Hearing the word "join the army," Rowan asked, "Wife, what do you really think?"
"I want to go. I want to go on missions with you."
"Sienna, being a soldier is tough. There's training every day, not much rest, and it's dangerous. I don't want you to join. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself."
"Besides, I want to spoil you. I don't want you to suffer. Please trust me. I'll be fine. I'll protect myself for you."
After hearing Rowan's words, Sienna didn't know what to say. She existed just to protect him.
Rowan noticed her silence and saw her hesitation. He said, "Sienna, you're my wife now. I'm your man. It's my job to protect you."
"Alright, I understand."
Worried that she might still be upset, Rowan said, "I have no tasks these two days. Tomorrow, I'll take you shopping. See if there's anything you like."
"I don't want to go. Let's just rest at home. You must be tired after the mission."
"Okay."
That night, Rowan coaxed and teased Sienna again. When she woke up the next day, she was annoyed. She had been tricked by Rowan again. It made her so mad.
The two-day break passed quickly. The next day, Rowan was coaxing Sienna again. He had lost control again and made her really mad. Sienna didn't even let him hold her hand.
At night, Rowan finally behaved himself. Not because he wanted to, but because he had training the next day. He didn't have time to comfort her anymore. He didn't want her to sulk alone, so he had to suffer a bit himself.
