Dragon was currently meditating, subduing the inner beast that was freely rampaging inside him. Earlier, he almost lost it. All the resistant he did every day before their separation almost broke.

Probably because he missed her that much that he doesn't want to let her go. Actually, deep inside him, Dragon's other reason for planting his men to guard her is because he was afraid that she might just vanish into thin air.

That he won't find her again. That he won't see her again. Just the thought of it could make his heart crack. If only he could just cage her, he will. But he doesn't want her to despise him. He can't be that selfish can he?

"Baby! Can you help me?"

Dragon's brows twitch hearing her yelling followed by a mischievous audible giggle.

"Ryu~! Your majesty~! You subject needed help~!" One after another, Seraphina continuously called out for help.

Dragon's concentration slowly went downhill with every word from the evil witch inside the bathroom. He was already giving his all trying to subdue his l_u_s_tful beast inside him yet, Seraphina seems to take a liking teasing him.

After her constant yelling, Seraphina decided to take a peek outside. Grabbing a bathrobe, she snuck head out.

*bam*

Alas, Seraphina only heard the bedroom door being slammed closed. For some reason, she giggles.

"Let's see how long will you resist." Seraphina mischievously mumbles.

"Oh, baby~" Seraphina leisurely searched around the penthouse, however, Dragon seemed to completely leave their private space. Her current situation was akin to a wolf finding little red riding hood.

"*sigh* mission failed." Seraphina sighs dejectedly. Though she never teased or seduced anyone in her life, but, for him, she will surrender her whole self.

Since she was too preoccupied searching for her beautiful red riding hood, Seraphina didn't notice the note along with medicines and a glass of water laid on top of the small table on the living area.

Sliding the note to her, it says:

"Take it. It will help."

It was short yet it also precisely sent his concerns. Seraphina's eyes softened by his kind gesture. This is the man she loves, gentle, kind, considerate, and sometimes cute.

A subtle smile was plastered on her face as she takes the medicines for her hangover. After she complied with his request, Seraphina headed to the bathroom to finish cleaning up herself.

After her quick bath, Seraphina went inside the huge walk-in closet. Examining it, her heart was filled with love and warmth.

The walk-in closet is just how it used to be with her original stuffs and other added clothes for her. It was as if Dragon prepared and was certain that they will live here again.

Since Seraphina felt bored, she collapsed her heavy body on the comfortable sofa in the living room -- waiting for a certain someone to come back.

"He did run." She murmurs before her eyes turn heavy probably because the effect of the medicines is starting to kick in. Soon, dizziness dawned on her and slept on the sofa.

-----

After an hour, Dragon finally came back from god knows where. Seeing her figure on the sofa, he turns his head away and went straight to the shower. After all, although he calms his inner beast, his body arising temperature doesn't seem to diminish any moment. Hence, a great shower will probably the best solution.

After freshening himself up, Dragon went back to the living room where Seraphina was lying. His brows furrowed seeing she was unmoving. Checking her breathing, he heaves a sigh of relief confirming that she was just sound asleep.

Alas, when his gaze moves on to the lower part of her body, his expression instantly darkens. Closing his eyes as he inhaled and exhaled to stay compose, his gaze shifts on her face, ignoring her exposed fair legs.

Seeing that Seraphina slightly knitted her brows, he assumed that she was probably uncomfortable. Hence, Dragon carefully glides his arms on her nape -- attempting to move her back on the bedroom.

However, sensing the slight movement, Seraphina's weary eyes cracked open. She meekly smiles seeing his close profile.

"Baby…"

"Wife, don't push your luck." Dragon warns as Seraphina doesn't seem to get over teasing him. Alas, he was stunned the very next second as Seraphina leaned closer, initiating a kiss.

"I don't… need luck."
