Chapter 267 Do You Wish To... Punish Me?

Mathew reached out his hand towards Nadia.

"Come," he said in a low, perfectly calm tone.

There was no sign of the uneasiness or the anxiety that he displayed before. And yet, despite the girl standing before him all naked, his eyes no longer wandered all over her body, stuck to her face alone instead.

*Gulp*

Nadia swallowed down her saliva before taking her first, slightly hesitant step. Soon, though, she got over her embarrassment, conquering the last few steps that separated her from her husband.

Nadia then placed her fingers down on Mathew's extended hand, allowing him to pull her even closer and then right on his lap.

"Do you want me to ride you?" Nadia asked in a low, peaceful voice as soon as she climbed up with her knees on the edge of the bed before resting her entire weight upon Mathew's lap.

"Actually..." Mathew smiled a little. "Would it be okay with you if we didn't hurry like always?" he requested, raising his hand to set aside a strand of the girl's long hair that fell on her face.

"I don't really mind," Nadia smiled gently, her eyes filling with warmth when Mathew's fingers danced upon her face.

Mathew really meant what he requested. And rather than getting touchy and feely or putting his hands all over the girl, he simply rested his fingers upon her back before falling to the back and pulling the girl along.

The two of them ended up lying flat on the makeshift bed with Nadia tightly pressed against Mathew's chest.

The beating of their hearts soon synchronized. Then, their breathing followed suit. And before long, they ended up simply cuddling while enjoying the warmth of each other's skin.

"I'm happy," Mathew whispered in Nadia's ears after a long time.

"Me too," Nadia smiled back, her eyes closing as she surrendered herself to the peace and calm that she felt in Mathew's embrace.

'This is what I wanted,' Mathew thought, running his hand up and down Nadia's spine. 'This closeness, this comfort...' he thought, closing his eyes and immersing himself in the simple joy of Nadia's presence.

It was a feeling... that he largely lost ever since returning to the past. A feeling that he could feel budding during what was supposed to be his last moments back in the school's shed.

"I really hate how my system turns sex into a tool," Mathew muttered while running his fingers up to the back of Nadia's head and massaging her scalp while playing with her hair. "It largely robbed us of this kind of tranquility," he added to explain what exactly was going through his head.

"Hmm?" Nadia hummed in response, her eyes still closed as she enjoyed the feeling of Mathew's fingers running through her hair. "You mean how it doesn't let us just enjoy each other without anything else?" she spoke up after a few more seconds, finally guessing what exactly was on Mathew's mind.

"That's more of this damn apocalypse fault, isn't it?" Mathew corrected the girl's view while sending his gaze down to her face resting upon his chest. "Still, no matter how we look at it..." he hesitated for a second. "I doubt we would get so close so quickly if not for it so I have quite the mixed feeling about it," he admitted.

"So all those people dying is on the same level of importance as me getting closer to you?" Nadia cheeky asked, moving around a little only to end up with both of her hands supporting her chin on top of Mathew's collarbone. From this position, she had a perfect view of his face, an opportunity she fully exploited while staring down into his eyes with a gentle and somewhat satisfied smile on her face.

"This is why I'm grateful for this disaster, even if only a little," Mathew joked. He then received a swift smack to his chest.

"Jerk!" Nadia huffed, her eyes still wide open as she looked down at him with a scowl on her face.

Her eyes then softened after a few seconds as she surrendered herself to once again enjoying the warmth of Mathew's embrace and cuddle up even closer in his arms.

The next few minutes were spent in silence with Nadia slowly moving around while lying atop Mathew before finally getting up and nestling herself right under the man's chin while pressing her entire body close against him.

"In the end, I think I know what you mean," she finally admitted after several long minutes has passed. "This kind of feeling..." she muttered, her voice indicating she was already starting to fall asleep.

Smack!

As great as it was to just relax with the girl, Mathew still had some plans for the night. After all, it was a rare opportunity for him to enjoy private time with his actual love!

And so, he moved his right hand away... only to end up raising it and then smacking down at Nadia's buttcheek!

"Kya!" Nadia uttered a small, surprised moan. Then, her face twisted in surprise.

"Huh?" Mathew's eyes widened a little. Then, a cheeky, playful smile crept up on his lips. "I just wanted to wake you up..." he admitted in a low voice while refusing to move his eyes away from the girl's face.

Then, he raised his hand again only to bring it down on Nadia's shapely ass for the second time.

"Mmhm!" Nadia held her moan back this time, although she couldn't stop her entire body from twitching within Mathew's cuddle.

"But I never expected you to like this kind of play!"

Nadia moved her hands away so that she could hide her face in Mathew's chest. And for but a moment, she remained completely silent as if she refused to acknowledge what the two of them just discovered.

Yet, before Mathew could get bored of this new, cute and defenseless side of her, she pushed her chin up and looked at Mathew's face with her upturned eyes.

"Do you wish to... punish me, master?"
