The Royal Contract

Chapter 973: Start of a brand new day

It had been a daily struggle but something she had endured because of the support of her loving and devoted husband. If not for him, she would have given up on life after her traumatic incident.

And, of course, her loving friends, who also did not leave her side and constantly made her feel that she was not alone. She would not make it to her depression if not for all of them.

Jacky admitted she had not yet fully recovered, but she was getting there. All she had to do was to focus on the present and hope that there was a better future for them.

“You have to lift your ass off that bed or else.” She warned him as she shook his body to wake him up. But he barely moved as he kept his eyes closed and only moaned in response.

She knew it was the weekend and the only time he could rest. But she wished to surprise him, finding only this moment to show him. They had been busy during the weekdays that they barely had time for each other.

Guiltily, she had been busy trying to catch up with her work which she had neglected all those times that she had been away. Then, she also had to help with the other obligations Dani left behind while she was on leave.

“Come on, Marcus. I know you are tired, but I need you to wake up.” Then, she felt him finally move. But instead of lifting his body, his hands snaked around her waist and pulled her on top of him.

.....

“Can we just go back to sleep and wake up later to whatever you are planning.” He sleepily suggested as he returned to sleep with his arms wrapped around her petite body.

Since the accident, she had lost a lot of weight, hardly eating much most times. But she was trying to rectify that by filling herself up with healthy foods and eating on time.

“No.” She pushed hard on his chest as she tried to extricate herself from his hold. It was firm but not painful as she struggled to make him let her go. “Come on.”

“Yes.” He countered as he shifted in his position, pulling her with him until he trapped her underneath his body. “Now, go back to sleep.” He commanded as he nuzzled his head between her chin and shoulder blades.

Tempting as it was to remain in his arms and return to a deep slumber, she had already planned their day. She had to force him to stand up and do her bidding. Then, she thought of an idea.

“What are you doing?” He chuckled a bit as her fingers crawled to his soft ticklish part. Then, he rolled to his left, giving her space to move and shift position. Then, she straddled him and kissed him on the lips. “Jacky!” He moaned as he said her name, complaining and enjoying her action.

If that did not wake him up, then nothing would.

But, of course, her method was effective as he started to take over, moving his hands to her hips to give him more control of her body, guiding her to where he wanted her to go.

However, it was not her point as she pulled herself abruptly away from his body and out of their comfortable bed. This time, she saw him open his eyes and grumble.

“That is not fair.” He groaned as he tapped the bed at his side. “Come back to bed and deal with this.” Pointing to the tent in his sleeping shorts.

As much as she wished to help him with his problem, she had something else as her priority. “I will take care of that after you do what I want.” She negotiated as she walked out of the room, knowing she had accomplished her job.

She believed there was no way he was going back to sleep with his current condition. And just like she predicted, he was striding toward her after just a few minutes in the kitchen.

Instead of waiting on the counter for his coffee, he walked directly behind her as she prepared their breakfast. Then, he wrapped his hands around her body, pushing his body against hers.

She knew what he was doing, but there was no way she was giving in to desire.

“You are a real temptress.” He whispered in her ears, making it sound like a nice compliment as he rubbed himself at her back to make her feel his arousal.

He was far from mad or irritated with her but a bit frustrated. Moreover, he was glad because he was finally seeing more and more of her old self. He wished this was not just a phase but the beginning of her full recovery.

“Well, this temptress will fulfill all your desire once you do all her bidding for the day.” She promised. “But not before.” She added.

“So, what is it you wish me to do again?” He asked, kissing her one more time on her exposed neck before moving away from her, accepting defeat.

He poured coffee into his cup and sat quietly on his chair, watching his wife move around him.

“Eat,” Jacky placed a plate in front of him, even picking a piece of the roasted bacon and gently guiding it to his lips, which he munched on with delight.

“Then?” He playfully questioned as he took a piece of bread into his mouth.

“Bathe.” She scrunched her nose at him while leaning closer to his armpit.

“I don’t stink.” He whined but raised his arm across his face and sniffed himself. “See. I smell like a freshly bathed baby.”

“Yeah, you are such a baby. Hurry up and get dressed.” Jacky teased him again as she also ate her breakfast.

Soon, they were heading out of their apartment with his arm wrapped around her shoulders. After a few more minutes, he drove while she led him in the direction of her surprise.

She hoped that this would be a start of a brand new day.
