Shane could read his wife's mind.

Amused, he said, "Don't worry. I won't do anything. Let's just bath."

As he spoke, his hand slid beneath her blouse, up her waist.

His touch sent a wave of goosebumps covering her body. "Stop it. You're tickling me!" She squirmed within his grasp and giggled uncontrollably. "You will feel better after we're in the tub." Shane picked her up and stepped into the bathtub. He even undressed her effortlessly!

Natalie blushed a bright red as she tried frantically to cover herself. She was soaked and her hair was dripping wet, but he found her alluring. Lust intensified in Shane's eyes; his Adam's apple bobbed as he gulped. Then he lifted her chin tenderly and kissed her.

She shoved him away while panting. "You said you won't do anything to me."

"Yeah."

"Then, why..."

"I didn't state a date or time."

Shane cut Natalie off with a kiss as he imprisoned her head in his hands to prevent her from escaping.

Unable to resist, she squeezed her eyes shut as they locked lips.

D*mn you! How could you go back on your word?

After a long soak in the tub, they finally got out and donned their robes.

Natalie was so exhausted that she could barely lift a finger. Shane voluntarily dried her hair and carried her to the bed.

"Sleep tight." He kissed her goodnight.

She grunted a reply after closing her eyes obediently and fell asleep immediately.

When Natalie was awake the next morning, Shane was already gone. Nevertheless, she was relieved that his spot still felt warm to her touch. After a few stretches, she flipped the blanket aside to take care of her morning routine. Then she walked out of the room and headed downstairs.

Yulia was playing with her two grandchildren on the living room couch. Shane sat opposite them, reading some documents on his tablet.

Natalie watched them from the stairs wearing a contented smile. She felt blessed to have such a wonderful family.

Shane set his tablet aside when he caught her staring. "Why are you standing in a daze? Come here."

Yulia and the kids stopped whatever they were doing and followed his gaze.

"Mommy!" Connor and Sharon waved at her.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Natalie waved back at them and made her way down the stairs.

"Good morning, Mom, Shane," she greeted as she ruffled her children's hair.

Sharon pried her hand away and pouted. "Mommy, don't touch my hair! You will mess up my braids."

"It looks like she really likes her hairstyle." Yulia chuckled.

"Of course! Daddy braided it," she proudly boasted.

"Really?" Natalie glanced at Shane in disbelief. It was a side of him she didn't know.

A subtle smile played on his lips.

Yulia nodded and answered, "Yes, he did."

"Mommy, Daddy did it better than you. Don't I look pretty today?" Sharon showed off her braids smugly.

"Tsk, tsk!" Connor rolled his eyes at his sister.

Ignoring her twin, the girl came down from the couch and ran to his father. "Daddy, look! Mommy messed up my braids."
