Master's Untamed Wife

"You are gonna make time for me?" questioned Raelle. She truly couldn't understand why he would want to do that. They were husband and wife but they didn't have to glue to each other every single moment of every single day. Or at least, that's what she thought. But she still decided to look through the definition of their relationship all over again to make sure. "Why?"

Shui Xian smiled at her, "Why not? You gave me a privilege, why can't I give you one? Since you're my wife, you should rightfully ask for my time. In fact, you should demand it!"

"That'd be unnecessary and counterproductive," replied Raelle with a straight face. "And I don't have a habit of demanding things. If I need your time, I'll just go to see you myself. Do you really think I'm the kind of person who would wait around for you to make time? I take what I want, I don't wait for that thing to come to me."

Shui Xian smiled at her before he placed his hands against her face and kissed her forehead gently. "Wifey, thank you!" Raelle stared at him blankly and he went on, "For being your special self."

Raelle followed his movements and held his face in her hands before her lips pressed against his forehead softly. Shui Xian was left blinking at her and she said, "You did it as well."

Shui Xian knew she was referring to the kiss and that's why his lips curved up at her, "So, you're following my actions now?" Seeing Raelle nodding, he thought of something and pulled her into his lap. He kissed her cheek and she followed by returning that kiss at the exact same spot. Then he kissed her neck and she again did the same. Shui Xian couldn't help laughing softly at her as he said, "Why are you following me?"

"For educational reasons," she replied.

"Oh?" responded Shui Xian. "And what is this educational study about?"

"Your physical and emotional reaction," she answered clearly. Shui Xian stared into her eyes as she continued, "When I kissed your forehead, your eyes softened and the frown you were carrying when you came, disappeared. That was very interesting to see. Then when I kissed your face, your eyes held a smile. And..."

She didn't even get to finish before he hugged her waist and leaned his head against hers. He didn't think she was insensitive as people said. The things she tended to notice were something others would always regard as unimportant. She paid attention to such small details around her.

Without him saying it, she could figure out that something had been bothering him. He really wondered just how did she manage that?

Raelle placed her hand on top of his hands that were wrapped around her waist. She slowly took his big hand in hers and carefully looked at it. His long, slender fingers, his distinct joints.

"My assistant said you have beautiful hands," she said surprising him.

"And what do you have to say?" he questioned.

"Pretty," she complimented. "Very pretty indeed."

He opened his palm before her and told her, "Look carefully, this beautiful hand has many scars." Raelle looked at his palm and found some barely visible scars. Something sharp must have left those cut marks but now, it had been long enough for it to heal. If it wasn't for her excellent eyesight, she might have not even noticed those scars.

"Is the one who gave these scars still in your life?" she asked.

Shui Xian shook his head, "No."

"That means, in this book of life the page that gave you this paper cut has already been turned over," she said and held up her hand. "I have gotten a lot of paper cuts in my life. But I might not be able to tell you exactly which page gave me a cut. Do you know why?"

"Why?" he wondered out loud.

"Because I already turned that page over and allowed that wound to heal. Now, the wound is closed and healed. Is there a point in remembering something unnecessary? You conquered that part of your life. And one should only remember that he won the battle, how he won it should be left on the pages of history."

Shui Xian contemplated over her words and didn't know what to say. But he wasn't even surprised now. He could hardly say anything to her. "So, you still think my hands are pretty?" Raelle nodded her head honestly. "Is it beautiful enough for you to want to hold it?"

He held up his left hand and Raelle intertwined the fingers of her left hand with him as she retorted, "What do you think?"

He rotated their intertwined hands and placed a kiss on her hand as he said, "But I think, it looks more beautiful now." He brought up their hands and rubbed her hand against his cheek as he added, "With my wife's hand in mine."

"How?" she questioned.

Shui Xian pressed his lips together and said, "If two beautiful things come together, don't they make an even more beautiful picture?"

"That sounds about right," replied Raelle.

"I'm holding my gorgeous wife's hand, how can it not look perfect?"

"That makes sense," said Raelle making him smile at her as he shook his head slightly at her.

Amanda Mosher wrote, 'There is nothing more beautiful than a vulnerable heart in open hands.'

And right now, Shui Xian didn't even realize how vulnerable his heart was before her. Currently, he also didn't realize how big part of his life was revolving around her. Without him realizing it, she had been stuck on his mind from the moment he first met her. The surprising fact was that he didn't try to get her out of his head even then and he didn't want to do it even now.

Suddenly recalling something, Raelle made a sound, "Oh! Don't we have a match today?"

Shui Xian also remembered that and nodded his head, "Yes, we do."

"Then why are you wasting time?" asked Raelle as she jumped down from his legs and tried to pull out her hand from his. But she wasn't able to. She looked back at him, "Let go of my hand. I have to get ready."

"I suddenly don't want to let go," he said.
