Simon's POV
I opened the door of our room. I saw my wife, Candice, sitting on the sofa and knitting a baby's hat. I walked closer and sat next to her. I was about to kiss her cheek but halted.
"I'll take a shower," he calmly stated and left my wife with what she's doing.
I know I stink from sweat, especially because we traveled for hours before we finally arrived here in Arcana East. "Come back here, Earl Teves," she asserts.
He stops and turns back. I look at her and see how serious she is. I went back and stood in front of her. She stood up on the sofa to tower over me.
"What was that, huh? Do I stink?" Princess Candice asked, glaring at me.
"No. I do. You never stink, Your Highness," he replied.
He steps back, but she grabs my collar and pulls me closer. She lowers her head and smells my neck. "Hon—nghn!" I moan and bite my lower lip.
She bites the side of his neck, marking me. "Hon...?" I utter, meeting her gaze.
"Where's my kiss, hmm?" she asks.
