章 241: Belated Consummation

"Husband... I feel... tainted... unclean," she whispered. "If I can maybe have some time to bathe and change into cleaner clothes."

"Stop moving, ferret," he instructed, taking over to undress her. His actions were gentle yet possessive. "Tonight we'll bathe together as husband and wife for the first time."
