Smokescreen: A Collection of Vignettes

Chapter 27

Just a man admiring his wife.

"Well, Tomas," Sakura smiled innocently. "Do you feel relaxed?"

"Yes, yes, I do."

The gray-haired man had to give his wife credit for her ingenuity. She always knew that hunting cleared his mind and helped ease his stress. The majority of the time, it was she would pick out his targets. He chuckled as it all hit him. It would certainly explain her stunts for the past week. The crafty woman had played to his strengths and killed two birds with one stone. It was a win-win for the two of them. Such a wonderful woman she was.

Smoke sighed and closed his eyes. He gave himself a few extra moments to enjoy his wife's soft body beneath him and her plush thighs around his waist. He hadn't realized how much he needed this. His body felt light. No tension and certainly no stress. Slender fingers ran though his short hair. A small smile appeared on the young man's face as he relished in her ministrations. It was so nice to be cared for like this.

"We should start heading back soon." Sakura whispered.

"Mmhm."

Tomas was loathe to move. He wanted to remain inside of his pretty bride for a while longer. However, with the promise of a hot shower and a comfortable bed, he got himself up. As he got himself dressed and readjusted, he looked over at his wife and stopped short.

It was as if Sakura stepped out of a painting. Her bare body radiated a pure, silver light as the moon shone down on her. It lent her an air of regality and it really made her more extraordinary. Her beauty caught everyone's eye. It didn't bother him, though. He was glad that he got to show that she was his. Catching his gaze, Sakura turned and gave him the biggest smile before slipping into her dress.

"Shall we?" She asked.

"Yes, let's go home."
