170. Let's make it happen with subtlety

Alana

Sedrik and I spent a while in that bathtub, making love and also taking the opportunity to satisfy the longing that I felt for him and him for all those days he spent away. After sexing in the bathtub in the bathroom, he put on some pants, I put on a robe, and I dried his hair with a towel after I had washed it. He made me sit on top of the dresser so I could reach his head, and his torso was between my legs. He hugged my waist and let me take care of him. Not only that, but he stayed there and let me cut his beard and things like that.

“I missed you, bloody hell,” he said, sighing as he looked at me. “I missed how you took care of me with care, as if I were someone very special to you.”

I smiled at him. “But you are very special to me, babe,” I told him. “You are everything to me. My husband, my friend, the father of my child, and everything you should be. We’ve been through a lot so far, not just the simple things that will make me separate from you now.”

He smiled at me and also gave me a warm kiss. “How did things turn out here?”

“As usual,” I replied, still trimming his beard slowly. “The builders continued to build the city, and everyone continues to live life as they should. Lily and Toby are waiting for you to perform their wedding ceremony.”

“Oh yes, by the goddess… I had forgotten about that,” he commented with a sigh.

“You are very special to them, so they decided to wait until you returned because they wanted to smooth out their wedding,” I told him, treating him with so much affection and love.

I wanted him to feel at home, to feel at ease, and to not have bad feelings. I wanted to make him understand that being here in my company, and in the company of all those who loved him, was the best thing for him.

“So it's okay for them to prepare everything for the ceremony; I'll do it for them, but not today, of course. Today, I want to be with my wife. I want to delight in her body for a long time, and I have had her affection, I miss it. I miss you,” he said to me, looking at me with desire and love.

Likewise, I smiled, feeling satisfied. “Then welcome back home, my love. Welcome back to your wife,” I said, giving him a kiss after I finished trimming his beard and fixing his hair. After having done this for some time, he was presentable.

“You are so perfect, Alana…” he grunted, pulling me closer to him by the waist and starting to kiss me with desire while pulling away my silk robe, undressing my breasts that he loved to see and touch so much.

Of course, I kissed him back, hugging his shoulders and feeling so complete in his arms. He was my husband, and I loved him so much. At that moment, we heard a baby crying coming from the room, and I giggled when Sedrik looked in the direction of the crying baby with a scared expression.

“Fuck! For a moment, I forgot that there's already a baby here,” he commented in dismay, and I laughed.

“Yes, we already have a baby, my alpha. It’s not just the two of us now,” I told him with a content smile on my face.

“Yes, I can see that,” he said with a sigh. “I can actually hear it very well.” He looked towards the room where the child was with an ironic expression. “She cries a lot, right?”

“It’s probably colic,” I told him.

“Hmm,” he mumbled.

“Can you go see her for a moment, please? I need to finish setting up things here,” I asked him gently. In fact, I wanted to encourage him to stay close to the child, maybe when he was alone with her, he would see how beautiful she was, and when he held her in his arms, maybe the connection between father and daughter could happen.

Now, after becoming a mother, I had become a very patient and analytical woman with each thing I was doing and what it would mean in the life of that small and defenseless being who needed me so much. I knew that my husband still didn't have any kind of relationship with my daughter, he still didn't have that father-daughter bond because, since the girl was born, he hadn't yet spent quality time with her.

So if I created subtle moments for this to happen, perhaps several changes could happen in the situation we were experiencing.

Sedrik was looking at me crossly now. "What? Why are you asking me this? Why are you asking me to go see her?” he spluttered.

"Yes, yes. Go and see her, it'll be quick. I just need to finish packing things around here, and then I'll go where you are. She must be in need of breast milk,” I said matter-of-factly, while my hands were busy actually organizing the things that were scattered around the dresser.

“Hmm, okay. I'm going to see the child,” he grumbled and then headed towards the bedroom, although still hesitant. I smiled behind his back, while hoping that this would work out.

Furthermore, I saw my husband go to the baby's crib and look down at the child who was crying there in the crib. As I peeked through the bathroom door that was half open, I could see him looking somewhat confused as he didn't know what to do.

“Alana, the baby is staring at me!” He spoke out loud, so his voice could be heard in the bathroom.

I covered my mouth with my hands and gave a silent giggle of pleasure. “Oh, is she looking? She loves staring at people, it's a habit of hers,” I commented matter-of-factly.

“Argh, right…” he grumbled.

“Try to stay in touch with her, so she will stop crying,” I told him, and he looked in my direction with a frown. I shrugged, keeping my hands busy while doing clean-up in the bathroom.

Sedrik sighed resignedly and started talking to the girl, in a very low voice so I couldn't hear what he was saying to her, but even so, I was gushing with happiness inside because that was the first contact he had had with our daughter and if things continue to be this way I could only imagine great things ahead.
