Chapter 81: Is it finally over?

"Well, that was intense," I muttered, watching how Makary's company all boarded their respective rides before driving away.

"We will excuse ourselves too, then," the higher-ranking officer spoke, nodding his head before turning around and leaving for his shop. And by the time they reached it, my aunt finally had enough room to maneuver out of the place where she parked.

Only seeing both my aunt and the police leave, I managed to breathe a proper sigh of relief. Only now I allow myself to properly look towards Fay, rather than casting fleeting glances to gauge her reactions as I did before.

Just like throughout this event, Fay stood in place with her arms crossed over her chest, watching the cars as they left through her squinted eyes.

"Thanks for holding yourself back," I spoke, finally able to focus on my woman rather than those other people. "Thanks for removing that awful aura," I added, taking a step closer to the girl. "And I'm sorry," I concluded my short serenade by reaching out and lowering my hands on Fay's shoulders. "Sorry for making you put up with all this mess."

Finally, my words brought some reaction from the girl, pulling her eyes away from the last few cars to leave and making her look at me with a dumbfounded look on her face.

"Isn't this my role as your mate to support you?" Fay asked, her eyelids moving slightly up as her brows invaded her forehead. "Would it be wrong to expect your support if I never needed your help, or merely just your presence at my side?" she then asked, squinting her eyes back as she put the expression she would make whenever trying hard to figure out a foreign aspect of the modern world.

"Wait, what?" I opened my eyes wide. "Of course, it wouldn't be wrong!" I shouted, baffled by Fay's sudden question. "I would be more than happy to..."

And then it struck me.

If I would be happy, elated even, to be of help to her, why did I assume that it would be any different for her? Was it the problem with my own sense of value and how I didn't expect my kindness to be ever returned? Or maybe it was something else, something deeper...

"I will never cheat on you," Fay let go of the lobe of my ear only to whisper directly to my brain.

Her breath struck the side of my head, sending a pleasurable shiver down my spine. And only now, as I held her insane body close to mine while having her mouth returned to the task of nibbling at my ear...

"I can only ever go in the heat for you, after all," she added another whisper to my already overwhelmed mind, sending a next surge of exciting tingling to resonate throughout my body. And as she pulled back to look at me with a slightly mischievous glint in her eyes...

"And speaking of which..."

'Eh, fine,' I cleared my mind of all the unnecessary thoughts, forgetting all about the situation that just concluded.

Using the fact that Fay now pulled back a bit, I left only one of my hands on her back, moving the other one down, even lower than her hips, all the way to the back of her knees.

'Up we go!' I thought merrily as I suddenly picked the girl up from the ground, bringing her up to my chest in what the cultured men could easily recognize as a princess-carry.

"Yeah," I muttered after enjoying the small squeal of surprise mixed with amusement that Fay uttered when I suddenly raised her up. "I think it's high time for the two of us to get some private time alone," I laughed, waiting just a second for Fay to wrap her arms around my neck before turning around and carrying her back to the shed.

'Just how is she so light?' I thought as I moved towards the bed. And this thought was followed by another. 'Is she going to be okay? I mean, from what I remember, we went at it quite hard back then...'

Still, when I heard Fay's lovely giggle and saw her pull her arms out the very moment she laid down on the bed, inviting me to join her...

"Well then, without any further ado..." I muttered with a wide smile on my face as I stepped forward and fell into the girl's affectionate embrace.
