Devon did also realize that his reaction was relatively bizarre. He smiled apologetically and tried to ease the tension, "Sweetheart, you must be tired from traveling all the way here. Let me turn the hot water on for you to have a lovely bath!"
"Wait a minute!" Raelyn looked at him and asked, "Can I have a kiss from you?"
"What?" Devon was stunned and immediately refused, "We have been together for so long. What is with your spontaneous request?"
"Is there anything wrong with trying to keep the sparks alive? Can't you just give me a peck on the cheek? I now demand a kiss from you to light up my mood!"
Raelyn must have suspected something based on the strange look on her face. It was not the time to have an argument with her. Devon suppressed the disgusted feelings and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
