Chapter 166: Want to Pamper Him a Bit [Bonus Chapter]

From there, Ferdinand’s thoughts went too detailed on what he wanted to do that Arabella was overwhelmed.

Ferdinand deepened the kiss and tightened his arm around her waist.

It was probably for the best though since Arabella could feel her knees weakening.

His thoughts were already overwhelming enough. Add his strong longing and desire as he kissed her and everything was too intense.

It was beginning to get too hot. They have to get out of the water.

After kissing her a lot, Ferdinand finally let her take a breather but he trailed kisses to her jawline and down to her neck. He attacked her neck with kisses as she tried to catch her breath.

’Damn it. It feels good. What should I do? I did say as long we don’t go all the way. Is he trying to maximize that leeway?’

But if they continued here in the hot spring, she might pass out from the heat.

"Ferdinand," Arabella called out and it somehow came out like a moan. His hard-on got worse.

’Oops, that wasn’t my intention.’

She leaned back to deny him of her neck. Ferdinand had no choice but to peek at her face. He looked displeased at getting stopped.

[Does she hate my kisses?]

Arabella cupped his face and gave him a peck so he wouldn’t think she was rejecting him again.

"Let’s get out of the water first," she gently said.

"Oh, right." He scooped her up and carried her out of the water.

Ferdinand made a couch out of magic and sat down with her in tow. He settled her on his lap. His eyes lingered on her robes.

"I want this off, after all," he held the tie of her robe and his eyes asked her for approval.

Arabella nodded and her husband eagerly untied her robe, his fingers slightly shaking. She wondered why she found it adorable. She was getting weirder by the day.

She blinked twice when she realized something.

’Am I beginning to like him again?’

She realized she had been finding him cute and adorable more often.

Those words didn’t fit her huge husband but every now and then, she does find him cute and adorable.

She was getting more affected by his touch and kisses too. She’s beginning to like them and even finds his honest eagerness somewhat cute.

Arabella still wants to know a lot of things about him, and she wants him to be honest with her about his real identity, but beginning to fall in love with him again was probably for the best.

Ferdinand took a deep breath as he finally succeeded in untying the three ribbons of her robe.

Arabella rose so she could get rid of the robe but realized that her husband looked like he wanted to do it for her. She opened her arms then and let him undress her.

Ferdinand looked into her eyes to ensure she wasn’t against it before he finally opened her robe and discarded it.

Arabella silently watched as her husband gulped audibly as he took in the sight of her body clad only in a two-piece bathing suit.

His erection got worse.

She could understand though since her maids were naughty. They especially chose a two-piece that appealed to a man’s desires.

"So beautiful! You are truly so beautiful in everything," Ferdinand praised.

"It suits me?"

"Absolutely."

"You like it?" Arabella prodded.

"Yes. Very much so," Ferdinand’s ears turned red.

"The bathing suit or being able to see some skin?" she teased and Ferdinand blushed in embarrassment when he realized she caught his gaze lingering at her cleavage.

"I... I like both," Ferdinand admitted in defeat, his face flushed.

Arabella realized she liked seeing such an expression on his face. It was something she never saw in her past life. He had become so much more expressive in this life and was no longer always poker-faced.

She learned it was because of Raymond’s hard work so she probably has to thank him in the future.

Ferdinand was a person who doesn’t know how to smile so Raymond and everyone else just let him remain as is. But after seeing Ferdinand smile for the first time when he was with her, Raymond apparently gave him all sorts of lessons to be more expressive of how he feels and how he conducts himself when around her.

Ferdinand learned to relax and not be always on guard when around her. Thus, he could smile and even unknowingly show embarrassment on his face now.

’My dear hubby, just how did you live your life before that you had to learn everything before you can be this expressive?’

Arabella cupped his face with one hand and gently caressed his cheek with her thumb.

Ferdinand closed his eyes and leaned into her touch.

It was as if he was asking to be caressed and lavished more. He longed for her so much that this simple touch meant so much to him.

Arabella cupped his face with both hands and bent down to kiss him.

’I want to pamper him a bit even just this once.’

Ferdinand enjoyed it but couldn’t stop himself from being aggressive. He pulled her to his lap and enveloped her in his arms.

[Her body feels so soft. I want to touch her. I want to caress her whole body. I have been holding it in for months. I thought I would be fine with getting just a bit of alone time with her. But now, I want more. Would she be angry if I did a bit more?]

Ferdinand’s craving got stronger and his body acted on it before he could decide whether it was alright or not.

He slowly caressed her back and legs.

[So soft and smooth! I have to be gentle or my calloused hands might hurt her. She’s not angry with what I’m doing, is she?]

He stopped kissing her to get a good look at her face as he touched her. And when she didn’t complain or scold him, he happily kissed her.

’This much is fine, right?’ Arabella wondered.

Ferdinand avoided touching her chest and crotch. But she could tell he wanted to touch her there the most since his hands kept on going back and caressing close to those parts before drifting away only to draw near again.
