CHAPTER 10

Xaden restrained himself with a will power of iron but as he washed her smooth thighs,his eyes smoldered and swept over the beautiful curves of her killer body.

Drinking the sight of her smooth and pale skin,the steam rose in the air blurring the lines between propriety and passion but still he had himself in check as he averted his gaze pouring the warm water over her body,his hands moving with a gentleness that belied the fire that smoldered in his veins.

After scrubbing her,he moved to gently wash her hair carefully applying little shampoo so she didn't panic when he is to wash it off after that,he rinsed her clean.

At this point,due to Mira's playfulness, Xaden was already fully soaked from his hair down to his knees even though he was yet to take his bath but he seemed to care less about her drenching him as he didn't make any attempt to stop her.

After her relaxing bath,he carried her out of the bathtub and dried her,afterwards he quickly tied around her a thick white robe to prevent her from catching a cold and as soon as her body was covered, Xaden found himself able to breath once more as he'd been suffocating all these while.

He gently placed a peck on her lips that said 'good job wife ' before he carried her back into the room.

He let her sit on a dressing chair before he moved to get a blow dryer to dry her hair,now this was one of Mira's favorite routine after bathing,the blissful feeling of the blow-dryer cooling her hair always left her fascinated and intrigued.

Few minutes later,after blow drying her hair, Xaden took the heavy mass of red hair in his hands and tied it into a rough bun after which her carried her back to the bed where her ice cream and cake reward was already waiting for her

He switched on the TV for her as he rumaged for her favorite TV station and all the while,he was busy thinking if she should put on her pyjamas now or later.

In the end,he finally settled to let her wear it later because with the way she was having that ice cream now,there was no guarantee that she wouldn't smudge her clothes with the cake and ice cream especially since she was a very clumsy eater.

Upon settling that one,he moved to lock the door so she didn't go out again and hurt herself or cause trouble somewhere down stairs,after locking the door, Xaden walked over to the bedside table and taking out a small remote from it,he pressed it and immediately,the slightly opened curtains around the Enormous bedroom began to come together untill they eventually closed up leaving no trace of the outside world.

Upon the curtains closing,he moved to start undoing his buttons after taking off the cufflinks and all the while he did that,he had his eyes locked on his wife who was clumsily having her snack potentially smudging her robe all over, it was a good thing he decided to not let her wear the pyjamas yet.

Xaden removed all his clothes till he was left with just his boxer shorts,his porcelain pale flawless skin and well built body that any woman on earth would kill to have,he picked up his own robe and tied it loosely around himself before he walked over to the ice cream ambassador on the bed.

He smiled seeing cream smudged all over her mouth and even nose but the most amazing thing about the effect on her was that it made her look even cuter.

" Hubby " Mira said stretching a spoon of ice cream towards Xaden's lips as soon as she noticed him seated near her .

Xaden's eyes widened for a split second but he was quick to open his mouth and take it all in,he usually didn't like sweet and sugary stuff but what could he do when it was his wife who was offering it to him,he couldn't even dare form a coherent string of refusal in his mind talk less of saying it.

Upon swallowing the ice cream,his hand moved towards her and his elegantly long finger touched her chin gently causing her big round eyes to look up at him.

"I'm going to take a shower okay and will be back soon,mmm" he said in a low tone. " Stay here"

Mira vigorously nodded her head at her husband's words.

"And be good" Xaden added before he moved her licked the corner of her lips that was smudged with cream causing Mira to giggle.

Xaden finally left for the bathroom and the first thing he did upon entrance was to drown his tired head into the bathtub. ' damn!!, it's been one hell of a day' his brain screamed.

13 minutes later, Xaden returned back to the room with a towel around his lower half and one around his neck for drying his hair and body,he found Mira quietly seated on the bed with the empty bowl of ice cream as she watched the TV with immense focus and concentration,as though she didn't want to miss anything from the cartoon,at that point,she looked so normal,her facial expression and everything.

Xaden moved to first of all wear her her pyjamas after which he made her take her drugs before he himself got dressed in a pyjama matching with his wife's.

Xaden was already preparing to lay on the bed and as the drug's effect began to lay hold on Mira's system,she sluggishly crawled towards her husband who was just getting into the bed and she laid half of her body on him,her left leg in-between his,her hand around his neck and her head on his well built chest.

Xaden protectively and lovingly held on her waist like she was all that mattered to him on earth,he switched off the bedside light before pulling the blanket up as he positioned his hands well around his already sleeping wife's waist so she was firm in his hold.

The two lay in a very intimate position and Xaden kissed his wife goodnight on her forehead before he finally joined her in her world of slumber.
