Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 230

I narrowed his eyes at him. I knew exactly what type of ‘exercise’ he was referring to. My body was still sore, and I felt black and blue from his rough and passionate love making from last night. After returning from the hot spring, Edward continued seducing me until we ended up doing it again in bed.

“Where did you go off to get food in the middle of a snow mountain?” I couldn’t help myself from asking.

“I had it pre-ordered…it should taste better than standard room service,” Edward replied with a smile.

Trust Edward to go the extra mile for things like this. It wasn’t like I was a picky eater or anything like that…

“I see…thank you,” I said as I smiled back at him.

“Oh…and I got you these,” Edward said as he reached inside the paper bag and showed me a box of big dark red cherries.

“Wow…someone’s definitely eager to please today…” I said teasingly as I reached for the box.

“Not so fast…” Edward said as he swatted my hand away playfully.

“Give me the cherries…please?” I asked using my sweet pleading voice.

“Eat your food properly first...then I’ll feed you these later…” Edward said, teasing me back.

I watched his back as he headed into the room, the cherries still in his hand. Smiling a little to myself, I followed him deeper into the room.

“I’m hungry. Let’s just eat,” I said as I began looking through the bags of food that he brought.

Edward brought out the dishes and began helping me unpack the food. Moments like these, when we did normal daily tasks together, made me feel like we were a real couple. Edward was always attentive and helpful. There was no such thing as a ‘women’s job’ for him and we divided our responsibilities equally or based on respecting each other’s preferences.

I looked at how swiftly Edward managed to arrange the food on the table and in such a wonderful display and I was reminded again of how lucky I am to have him by my side and as my partner. Edward was better than me in almost everything and that probably still holds true today.

“What are you staring at, Princess?” Edward asked when he felt my eyes on him.

“My charming househusband…” I replied lazily.

Edward laughed along with my joke; he was clearly in a good mood today. Then again, he was in a good mood most of the time, especially after we got married. His cheerfulness was infectious, and I started smiling and laughing along with him.

Finally, we could start eating. My tummy was completely thankful for the good food. The food was amazing, and I was sure that it was much better than room service. I was busy stuffing food into my mouth when Edward spoke up.

“I wonder how our son is doing…” Edward said in yearning in his voice. He’s missing his son already.

“I’m sure he’s doing great as always. I don’t think you need to worry,” I replied.

“I should call just to check…” Edward said as he started reaching for his mobile phone.
