When the family went home, the children were tasked to sleep with their big sister Maya, and everyone knew what it meant.

”Mwamaaaaaa!”

”Gooooggmmmaaaammmm!”

The babies were naturally not reconciled. They want to sleep with their soft mum!!!

The babies cried, their plump cheeks puffier and redder than usual, and their rounded eyes were lined with tears.

The adults’ hearts broke, especially Althea’s.

Garan’s too, of course, and he pondered whether to pass on his much-awaited private night with his wife.

He pitied his brother below, but the children would come first.

Fortunately, he got an idea, which might help distract the kids long enough that they’d temporarily forget about sleeping with their mum.

He raised both of his hands, with palms upward. Suddenly, energy condensed in them, and everyone gaped when he created two thin metal bases with indentions, one on each hand.

Not only the babies, but even the adults were fascinated with the process.

From this base, strands of metal formed into the shape of what would eventually become a close-up shot of Althea, showing her beautiful smiling face from the shoulder up.

”It’s only temporary, but it should do for a while,” he said, handing over the new toys to the babies. They had stopped crying as soon as a strand of metal floated gracefully to create something even more beautiful. Now, their rounded eyes were staring at it with curiosity.

Harold, who was holding Meatball, leaned down to take a closer look. ”Wow… this is amazing,” he said. ”I’ve never seen such expert work—especially not in such a short time.”

Sheila, who was holding Pepper, nodded in agreement. ”I know of other metal users, but I don’t think anyone could make such intricate ones.”

They didn’t know it yet, but it’d also last far longer than others’ temporary metallic creations.

Anyway, Garan definitely showed off his expertise. Of course, it could also be his desperation to get alone time with his wife, so there was that.

Anyway, this successfully calmed down the babies, whose little hands were gripping their new toys. The couple could finally excuse themselves after giving each baby a kiss on the cheek, though Garan couldn’t wait and he carried her on his shoulder and straight back to the room.

…

Althea was first led to the bathroom, shed off her clothing in record time. She liked taking baths before going to bed, so Garan would ’assist’ her so they could go about with their nightly activities faster.

However, while she sat snugly in the bathtub, using her husband’s large body as a backrest, she realized that Garan took special focus on washing her hand—rubbing the back of her hands with his calloused fingers a lot longer than other parts of her body (at least for now).

She immediately knew what it was about.

She sighed. ”Husband…”

”I know,” he said, leaning down to place a kiss on her bare neck, tongue creeping up to lick her ears, and his rough fingers crawling down to her nether regions.

”I just felt like taking you hard today.”

…

A few hours later.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

That night, the erotic sounds of slapping skins and sensual moans and groans echoed across their room. Whether it was from the bathroom, to the walls, to the sofa, and finally to the bed—it went on practically non-stop.

The movements became more and more frantic, until a growl resounded, followed by an intense squelching sound.

”Wife…” Garan gasped as he rested his head on Althea’s shoulder, releasing for the nth time that day.

Althea was in a daze, her face flushed, as if expressing her nourishment. Fortunately, Garan finally took pity on her and pulled out, just hugging her close to him to feel her softness and her warmth.

The couple rested, Althea snuggling into her husband’s embrace. He was particularly hard today and she knew it was because she received a confession.

She had received plenty of confessions in her lifetime, though he was usually away for most of it so he wasn’t as affected. This was one of the few times he was in the same place, and for some reason he seemed to find Hugo a bit of a threat as well.

They didn’t need to talk about it anymore though, both knowing the confession didn’t mean anything except for a passing moment.

Garan caressed her waist and kissed her head. ”Your birthday is happening soon,” he said. ”Is there a particular place you want to celebrate?”

”Anywhere is fine…” she said, shaking her head, tickling Garan a bit and making his breath hitch.

”Jonathan sent an invitation. They will be holding the Beast Fair in a week. It was delayed due to the stronger-than-usual heat wave, which gives us time to join if we want to.”

She blinked and lifted her head to look at him a bit. She was so cute that Garan couldn’t help but smile. ”Do you want to come for an advanced celebration? We should be able to get back in time for your birthday.”

In her excitement, she fully turned over to face him while they laid. ”Really?”

Would she finally be able to see a bit of the bigger world? She was so busy before and Garan said the monsters there were unsafe for her, so she hadn’t been to a Town yet.

How exciting!

While Althea was already thinking of where to go, what to do, and what to buy, her husband was getting excited in a different way.

Garan’s eyes darkened as he looked at his wife’s breasts squeezed on his abs. His breath turned heavy and a moment later, they were turned over again.

Althea blinked as she looked at the large man hovering above her and opening her legs…

It seemed like Garan didn’t feel enough ’pity’ for her, after all.
