Sherry was out of ideas. She knew that he must be furious. She was too bold to have ran away from the marriage and left him at the altar. He was a man full of pride, there was no way he could stomach this ordeal, and his family’s elders must be quite upset as well.
Sherry was incredibly nervous. She stole a glance at him, and saw his lips pursed together tightly, waiting for her to speak. She guiltily went up to him, tip toed to give him a quick kiss on his chin, and quickly ran away.
“How’s that?” She was blushing red.
He said nothing.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a flame ignited in his eyes. Then she immediately looked down, “What do you suggest, then?”
“I’ll let you think it over; I’m off to take a bath first. If you don’t have any bright ideas that will satisfy me when I return, you’ll be sorry!” He warned her in a low voice.
Sherry was scared stiff, “Well, what do you want, then?”
“Take off your clothes and wait in bed!” William winked and commanded her in a flirtatious way, then ran off to take a shower.
How could he say such a thing?
Sherry bit her lips; oh god, her face felt like it was on fire.
Take her clothes off? No way.
It seemed like he was really taking a shower; she opened the door and left the room.
As she passed by Liam and Sarah’s room, she seemed to hear slight gasps for breaths. She froze in her tracks, then quickly passed by.
Done with his shower, William only had on a towel, then realized that there was no one left in the room. Shit! William cursed under his breath and donned a bathrobe and headed out the room to hunt down his prey.
Sherry was hiding in the corridor and took deep breaths, wishing that he won’t be angry that she ran away again from the room. It was cold outside; she exhaled, then heard footsteps approach. In a hurry, she turned around, but then someone caught and picked her up.
“Ah!” Sherry screamed, and instantly snapped to alertness when she felt his wet hair. “Why are you outside the room while dressed like this? You might catch a cold!”
“And who allowed you to leave the room?” William dragged Sherry back into the room.
The second he put her down, Sherry turned around and grabbed a towel to dry his wet hair. “You’ll catch a cold like this!”
It was freezing cold outside; how could he leave the room like this?
William said nothing and had on a stern expression.
“Alright, stop being angry!” Sherry cooed.
Suddenly, she felt him violently pull her body into his embrace; his strong arms held her tightly in place. She could feel his body warmth, as well as drops of water from his hair land on her face.
He kissed her ear softly, then said in a commanding voice, “I’m going to doubly punish you now.”
His passionate lips kissed her earlobes and cheeks, then circled around her neck, making her itch. She was caught in the moment and subconsciously closed her eyes to bask in the warmth of his skin.
His palms slid across her arms bit by bit; they traced along the outline of her body, until he caressed her soft spot.
She felt her body nearly collapse in pleasure; as if she was struck by lightning, she fell limp in his arms.
His lips proceeded to meet hers, his fingers held her chin and her anxiety. His tongue continued to invade into her little by little, as if it was water that flowed into her mouth. In that moment, her entire mouth was filled with the minty fresh breath from his mouth.
Suddenly, a drop of water landed on her neck; the chill startled her, which made her return to her senses and shove him away, “William- Dry your hair first!”
“No!” William adamantly shook his head, and leaned towards her again.
“Stop moving!” Sherry became restless. No matter what he did, she had a towel in hand to wipe him dry. She finally relaxed after she had wiped every part of his hair dry. By then, he had already removed her outer clothes, which she didn’t notice while she was busy.
“Ah-“ Sherry screamed.
“My dear, please don’t run away again, OK?” He asked in a soothing tone, which made her feel as if her heart was about to melt.
“I didn’t run away!” She didn’t meant to do so, “Actually-”
He cut her short, “You can’t keep scaring me like this!”
As he looked at her, she looked back at him too. She could see a glisten in his eyes as well as a deep longing. His eyes were so full of emotions, which made her feel even guiltier than ever.
“I don’t want a wedding; just thinking about holding one sounds complicated; I think it’s too tiring!” Sherry whimpered, “Also, I always wanted to return to Hokkaido, to where you left me last time. This time, I want to know if you will pick me up from where you left me last time!”
His heart skipped a beat, and he held her tightly. Just thinking about last time made him feel guilty from deep down, “I’m sorry-”
“I don’t want your apology; I want to be with you! Let me be stubborn for once!”
“I wanted to give you a grand wedding to make up for last time!” He said with guilt in his heart, “Don’t all women want a spectacular wedding?”
“But not me!” She said.
“What do you want?” He asked in a soft voice, “Just tell me and I’ll get it done!”
“Stay with me these few days, then bring me and my son back. Don’t leave me! We’ll go back home together as a family!”

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
