Adeline sighed and cuddled close. The feeling was amazing and the mark kept on tingling. The entire time they had spent cuddling, for as long as Adeline was conscious she noticed the fact that her mark would tingle at his touch.

Even though she had been given the talk about marketing and making by her uncle and his mother, which was heavily awkward, she had not ventured into the details.

That certainly put her in a disadvantage because Adeline did not know if the tingling was caused due to the fact that the mark was relatively recent or was going to happen every time he touched her.

She found the familiar pressure build up over her bladder and of course since she had woken up her body had conveyed its immediate need for her to release her pee.

She opened her eyes to the dark room that was faintly lit by the fireplace. Adelen very gently turned around and took his hand over waist only for him to lower it again and tighten it.

Xavier let out a low rumble in warning and she felt it through her back that was connected to his chest.

"Ahh," she groaned, "if you have no problem sleeping in pee then go ahead, be my guest and squeeze me harder!"

"Wolves are all piss and sweat." He rasped in her ear as he nuzzled in. "Go ahead."

"Ew, ew, ew, ew," Adeline gagged. "Get off!" She squealed and put his arm off her waist before running into the bathroom and relieving herself.

Adeline washed her hands and dried them with a towel before opening the door only to find Xavier starting in front of her. He looked so sleepy that he had only opened his eyes a fourth.

"Xavier," still standing at the door Adeline crossed her arms, "why are you not in bed?"

Instead of answering her like a sane person would Xavier picked her up bridal style and took over the bed. Carefully lying her down as gently as he could, he then nuzzled his nose into her neck and threw his leg on top of her body.

Adelene just sighed and moved slightly to put the blanket on top of them. A sleepy adaline did not think much of it.

*****

She should have because this man was driving him freaking crazy.

Adelino was a human and all the more reason for her to take bath with extremely hot water in this cold weather. The hot water had created steam in the shower and it has also worked up the glass. Just as Adeline wiped she saw Xavier sitting on the toilet. Not only was he sitting on the toilet he was also reading something.

Was he pooping while she was taking a shower? They might be in a relationship and might be considered as a husband and wife in this world, Adaline was still not ready to find him pooping while she was showering!

"Urm. . Xavier?" She spoke hesitantly. "What are you doing?"

Xavier, thankfully, did not look at her, rather continued to read as he answered her, "I am reading."

Well thank him for stating the obvious otherwise she would have never noticed, she huffed. "Why are you reading this while I'm showering?"

"Just keeping you company, my dear."

"Company, my ass." She scoffed.

"It is a very nice ass." He heard her. "Would you like me to wash it for you?"

"Ugh!"

*******

The afternoon was relatively calm then the morning.

Xavier was reading one of the files that had been sent by the capital and Adaline was reading one of the many history books that she found in the temple.

One thing that I hadn't noticed was the constant need for touch that Xavier had. At the moment he was touching her feet which were on his lap. Sometimes he would just run his fingers over them and the others he would unconsciously start to rub or massage them which she loved. historical

However, it was also starting to irritate her. There was not one time this day that she had spent without him. If Adeline went to the bathroom, Xavier would be standing at the door if he was not inside.

"So," she drawled the word, "where are we going for lunch?"

"Going?" He glanced at her. "We are going to eat here, Adeline."

Oh no, at this moment Adeline needed to be in public where she could talk to others and not be confined in a space with this man.

"Since it is the last day, why don't we go and have lunch outside because we will be traveling at night?" She offered a change of plan instead hiding her desperation inside.

It was their last day because they had extended their stay for far more than it needed to be. Their parents could only handle their duties for so long given that they were not trained to do so. They were going to travel at night and reach the kingdom by tomorrow afternoon.

He eyed her for a little before nodding. "I'll go talk to them if you want that." He folded the papers in his hand but before he could get up, Adeline shot up and gave him a shake off her head.

"How about you sit here and I send the boys to you? The girls and I could spend some one-on-one time together!" Before Xavier could open his mouth to speak Adeline held her shoes in her hand before walking out of the house practically running while doing so. She closed the front door behind her and wore her shoes before running to the house of Elizabeth.

"Open up! Open up! Open up!" Adelene banged on the door.

As the door opened, Elizabeth's frowning face came into the view, "Is everythin—"

"Luna?" Dylan appeared behind her and Adeline's eyes went to him. "Is—"

"Go," Adeline pointed to their house behind her, "take Augustus with you. Xavier is asking to see you."

Dylan frowned lightly before he stepped out of the door just as Augustus did out of his.

"Patty," Adaline called out only for the woman to pop her head out of the window, "Come here!" It was time to talk.
