The golden light of the late afternoon sun slowly slipped through the gaps in the curtains of inn room number 64. Time continued to pass, and before they knew it, the day had transitioned into dusk.
On the bed, which was now in a highly messy state, Calian and Wolvin had just finished their incredibly long 'lovemaking session'. Their breaths were still slightly ragged, leaving a lingering heat that dominated the room.
Calian laid his sweat-drenched body down, staring at the ceiling while regulating his breath. The purple-haired youth never expected that he would have to make love until the late afternoon just to satisfy his spouse's super hyper sexual desire.
However, as he turned his head to the side, the exhaustion throughout his body seemed to just evaporate. He saw the face of Wolvin, who was leaning against his arm. The Night Wolf youth closed his eyes with such a peaceful smile, radiating an expression of pure satisfaction and happiness after his desires were fulfilled.
Seeing that face, Calian could not restrain himself from smiling as well.
At least... today he already looks very happy. Calian thought, feeling an extraordinary relief flowing in his chest.
"Wolvin, let's take a bath." invited Calian gently. He raised his hand, wiping the sweat soaking his own forehead and temples, then wiped the sweat on his spouse's cheek. "The two of us haven't eaten anything since this morning, you know. Your stomach must be very hungry, right?"
Hearing that gentle invitation, Wolvin slowly opened his golden eyes.
"Okay, Darling!" answered Wolvin in a tone that still sounded very happy.
The Night Wolf youth sat up with his naked body. His gaze then descended, and his hand pointed toward the bedsheet, which was already in a very deplorable condition.
The white fabric was now covered in sweat stains and spots of warm white thick liquid, some of which had already begun to dry.
"I will wash this dirty bedsheet first in the bathroom." said Wolvin full of initiative while pulling the corner of the fabric. "Later, your task is just to dry it quickly using your [Time Loop] blessing. How about that?"
Calian chuckled softly seeing his spouse's enthusiasm, then nodded in agreement. "Sure! Let me handle the drying later."
After Wolvin finished removing the bedsheet from the bed, he walked side-by-side with Calian toward the bathroom located in the corner of the room.
"Darling..." called Wolvin softly amidst their steps, his voice sounding slightly lowered. "Thank you very much for being willing to give me satisfaction and suppress my libido today."
Wolvin lowered his gaze slightly as they stepped into the bathroom. "Forgive me for having to be selfish in asking you to continuously satisfy my super hyper sexual desire. I know this must be very troublesome for you."
Hearing the guilty tone from his spouse, Calian stopped his steps for a moment. He raised his free hand, held the back of Wolvin's head, and then stroked the pitch-black hair with a very gentle and deeply sincere touch.
"Never apologize for that." said Calian with a purple gaze that looked straight into the depths of Wolvin's golden eyes. "I am your husband, and I myself am the one who chose you to be my life companion. Even though you have a super hyper desire, my feelings for you will never ever change for all eternity, Wolvin. I accept you completely."
Hearing his husband's straightforward answer without hesitation, Wolvin's heart warmed. A feeling of happiness welled up in his chest, brushing away all his uncomfortable feelings. His free left hand immediately wrapped around Calian's waist tightly.
"It is this nature of yours that makes me never able to stop loving you and adoring you all the time, Darling." said Wolvin in a spoiled and sincere tone, saying it openly without hiding anything.
The Night Wolf youth turned his head and gazed at the contours of his husband's handsome face with a smile full of longing. Likewise with Calian, he turned and returned his spouse's gaze while smiling full of affection, an expression he would never show to the outside world.
"You are my savior and my most beloved husband!" said Wolvin happily. Behind his naked body, his black tail wagged slowly left and right. "Once again, please allow me to be your faithful spouse by your side, to continue accompanying you, and to support your every step forever in this eternity."
Calian's footsteps instantly stopped completely, making Wolvin also halt his steps at the threshold of the bathroom door. They stood facing each other, gazing at one another in a silence fraught with meaning.
"To me... you are also my savior and my very beloved spouse, Wolvin." replied Calian honestly, his voice trembling slightly from restrained emotion. "You might not realize it, but you saved me from the cold hell of loneliness in the West Pavilion back then. Without your presence pulling me out of the darkness, I am sure right now I would have completely lost my sanity."
After uttering that emotional confession, the purple-haired youth took a step back. And suddenly, Calian lowered his body and knelt on one knee on the floor, looking straight up at Wolvin's face from below.
Calian held and slowly lifted his spouse's right hand. With full reverence and deep love, he kissed the back of the Night Wolf youth's hand very gently.
"Wolvin, please allow me to be your husband who will always be by your side, accompanying you in your every step, and supporting you forever." said Calian, declaring his loyalty like a knight to his deity. "And whenever you desire it, I will gladly satisfy you, and I also swear to always protect you from any danger whatsoever with this [Time Loop] blessing of mine."
The declaration full of vows of loyalty that Calian had just spoken successfully made Wolvin's breath hitch. His heart felt so warm that his eyes teared up slightly out of happiness.
There had never been the slightest doubt in his heart regarding his husband's loyalty, but hearing it spoken directly like this provided an extraordinary peace.
He pulled Calian's hand so he would immediately stand back up.
"You know, you were very different when we first met." said Wolvin, deliberately throwing out a playful remark just to tease his husband. "Back then, you were very rigid and super oblivious! Instead, I was the one who tended to have to act and take the initiative towards you first. Even when I already liked you, I had to yell at you first on your favorite red sofa so that rational brain of yours could understand my feelings. Hahaha."
Hearing his past suddenly brought up, Calian could not refute his spouse's blunt words. The youth could only remain frozen in silence with a beet-red face.
"But now... you have truly shown your attitude and responsibility as an extraordinary husband." continued Wolvin in a tone that returned to being serious and honest. "Seeing your drastic change into being so affectionate, I even thought for a moment... is the one I see before me right now the Calian I know, or is this another figure disguised to look like Calian?"
"Do you think I can shapeshift into a monster?" replied Calian, slightly surprised by his spouse's wild imagination.
"Hahaha!" Wolvin laughed out loud hearing Calian's serious response, who was still rigid when joked with. He hugged his husband's neck. "Of course not! But even if you were, it wouldn't be a problem. Because you are the only 'monster' I love in this world."
Mwah!
Wolvin stood slightly on his tiptoes and immediately kissed his husband's lips.
The kiss did not last long, but that brief touch was enough to prove how deep and sincere his feelings for Calian were.
"I love you very much, Darling."
"I love you too, Wolvin." replied Calian gently, returning the gaze with equal warmth.
The purple-haired youth then extended his right hand forward, offering a grasp.
"Come on, let's take a bath and wash up now. After that, we'll go eat dinner together at the guild bar."
Wolvin nodded firmly and accepted his husband's outstretched hand. "Yes, Darling..."
The atmosphere inside the bathroom was no longer filled with explosive passion, but instead felt incredibly warm, intimate, and different from before. The honesty they had just spoken seemed to further strengthen the inner bond and love between the married couple.
The two of them enjoyed the splashing sound of water and the peaceful moment of togetherness for a while. Washing away the remnants of their passionate lovemaking, while also clearing their minds.
Because they knew, the next day, they had to take up arms again, step into the shadows, and begin executing the secret mission to hunt, interrogate, and kill all the corrupt nobles involved in the non-human race trafficking network in the Erthland Empire territory.
