Chapter 24 Practicing Couple

With Bianca also being cautious of their safe arrival on the way home, she did not say anything anymore. But her smiles did not fade away. She was feeling victorious. On the other hand, Asher was inwardly in distress, thinking how he could collect from her wild antics. He was so tempted to kiss her till she ran out of breath, but he was also scared she would be pissed if he acted like a rogue. Not to forget, he started all this craziness. She has every right to fight back.

Luna welcomed them giddily when the car got parked in the backyard. And she barked when Asher lifted Bianca in his arms again, going into the house from the car.

"She can't walk well, Luna," Asher explained to the Doberman as if the dog would understand. "I think Luna is worried about you," he smiled at Bianca, who did not protest about him lifting her in his arms again. She was also worried she wouldn't recover fully until tomorrow if she kept walking around sore. They still have to meet his dad and head back to her hometown as per their agreed plans.

"Hey, Luna!" Bianca greeted the dog, although she couldn't see her. Yet Luna responded with another bark as she followed them into the house.

Asher was going to send her to her bedroom, but Bianca asked to be brought into the bathtub.

"I think I need to have a warm bath and apply the cream again after," she reasoned when she saw Asher's questioning look. "It may help me recover faster. I can't be moving around like this with you tomorrow in front of your dad, can I?" Bianca snorted.

Asher agreed, but he replied playfully.

"Of course, whatever my wife's wish is my command," he put her down carefully on the floor next to the tub. Making sure she was standing securely before letting go of her.

"Go ahead. You keep doing that so I can have my excuse to enslave you," Bianca replied in an equal manner, playfully. She is starting to enjoy their game, practicing like a couple.

She had seen how her mom and dad would be as a couple. And since she did not have the chance to experience dating on her own, she is taking her parents' example with Asher as her partner. She had seen how her mom would fake things to prank her dad and laugh at him every time he would be convinced, just to realize she was only playing around. Then her dad would pretend to be mad at his wife, then Bianca's mom would woo him.

Their stunts would never end.

Because when the other would succumb, the other would turn the tables around, and the cycle of them playing pranks and stunts would go round and round.

Like one time, during her teenage days, her mom would suddenly shriek while cutting some vegetables in the kitchen. Her dad will run to check on her and see her holding her hands crunching on her belly. Her dad would demand to show him as he is worried. If it's a serious wound or something, they can deal with an emergency kit at home. Her mom wouldn't show him, so he would decide to call for medics, and that is when her mom would burst out laughing, grabbing the phone to cancel the call—wiggling her hands, unharmed like with no injuries at all, in front of her worried husband. Her dad would walk out of the kitchen marching in annoyance and will never talk to his wife for the whole day. Then Bianca's mom would do her best to make up with her husband. But the funny thing is, her mom is keeping grudges. If her husband makes it hard for her to get his forgiveness, she will be pissed and ignore him for two to three days.

Who won? The wife, of course.

Because her dad cannot live with his wife, glaring and snubbing him for even an hour. With the wife mad at the husband, a day is chaotic. Two days will be haywire, and three days will absolutely be hellish!

"Happy wife, happy life"! Her mom would always brag at her whenever she would try to help her dad get justice. Now she is going to try some of her mom's epic antics if Asher keeps his playful behavior. He should get a taste of how Bianca could be as a wife. Even if only for pretense.

"What are you still doing here?" she asked as she was about to take her clothes off.

"Honey, I am checking the water's temp for you," he gently answered, just like a genuinely concerned husband. "Besides, I helped you put your clothes on. I guess you would also need a hand taking them off," he answered with a smile, flirtatiously.

"Oh... I see," Bianca played along. She can flirt back, give him a dose of his own medicine. "Well, in that case, I should be grateful. I really could not undress myself, you know?"

Then she turned her back to him as if asking him to unzip it. And he did. Then she turned around with only her undies covering her nakedness.

"I can't move much. Can you take them all off me?" she bit her lips and blinked her eyes rapidly as she tried to hide her playful smile. She noticed how Asher was already taking deep breaths as he was taking her dress off.

Asher was in a dilemma. He could clearly tell she was playing around. But he cannot blame her, nor can he take her bait. She is in the bathtub to get better from the discomfort she is feeling. He should have left when she asked why he was still there, but since he was foolish enough to provoke her, he is in such a predicament!

Applying the cream on her earlier did not ignite his lust because she was in obvious pain. But now, she was waggishly playing tricks on him. His compassion was replaced with arousal. But he was au fait with her conditions. He was trying to calm his arousal down with deep breaths. But when she asked him to take all her clothes, including her undies, his hands were shaking, and his breathing became heavier.

"Bianca Han..!" he whined.

"What...? Weren't you here to help me?" she retorted in a pitiful voice. As if she was scared of him getting angry, she made her voice weak and helpless, but her face was grinning. Unseen to Asher because he went around her to unhook her brassiere.

"Just... just..." Asher was stuttering. "Just get in the tub, please?" She needed to be in there so he could leave her when she was settled and calm his raging virility. It didn't help when he had to take her panties off her, too. She bent slightly, checking the water's temp with Asher still on his knees, just about to get up from pulling her panties off her feet. She must have done it intentionally to provoke him more, but he cannot express his anger. He has no right!

He abruptly turned around. He can no longer keep his eyes on her. He cannot do anything to satisfy his thirst and hunger for Bianca right now. Hopefully, later he can!

"Tell me when you need anything!" Asher rushed out. He will have to deal with his needs in his bathroom again! "I will be right back!"

Bianca guffawed when she saw her tricks worked. She wanted to brag just like her mom. She was laughing all by herself. She saw Asher ran with his hands cupping his front bottom. She supposed he was hiding his erection, and she couldn't help enjoying her victory. She knew Asher would not jump at her knowing she was sore, and that was the very reason she was going to have this bath.

"Honey...!" Bianca called out again.

Asher was just about to get into the bathroom in his room when he heard Bianca call him sweetly again.

"Oh god... She is a tease...!" Asher was contemplating. He wasn't sure if she really needed help or if she simply wasn't done teasing him.

"Husband, I need your help. Can you come over please...?" Bianca really needed his help, but she enjoyed teasing him, so she kept her sweet tone.

When she said she needed his help, Asher was defeated. With a bulging erection, he did not conceal his arousal as he walked back to where she was with a pouting face, he asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what can I be of help?" he sounded sad. Like he was an underpaid servant.

Bianca roared in a burst of merry laughter at his poor and pitiful face.

"I need my phone secured in a transparent zip bag so I can use it while soaking in the tub. I need to search for something, so I need my phone, please...?" she stated her request without a quaver.
