The thought of me addressing Theo as baby ’ or 'honey' sent cold chills running down m y spine.
Gosh! I wanted to throw up!
Besides, using such nauseating nicknames for an ethereal being like Theo just seemed so out of place!
Theo narrowed his eyes dangerously, asking faintly, "Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure!" My will to live had never been so strong.
We had been married for many years, yet I had never called him intimately. I always just called him by his first name.
As a wife, I truly had no excuse for my behavior.
Theo tightened his grip around my waist, staring at me while blinking. He insisted that I call him using a term of endearment that would satisfy him.
I cleared my throat and looked away while saying softly, "Hubby."
Theo, who had always been expressionless, seemed startled by the word.
I looked at him, and when I saw the dumbfounded expression on his face that looked too cute to resist, I could not help but laugh. I put my face on his chest and called out with a soft voice, "Hubby."
Shannon once told me that if a woman was to act coquettishly, she must look at her man with a watery gaze and use a voice that could send currents coursing through
his veins when he heard it.
That was a massive challenge for me, so all I could do now was attempt to make my voice sound as arousing as possible.
However, I was seeing surprisingly good results with just this alone. I could sense Theo's body tensing up, and that made me a little happy.
When I was done feeling happy, I felt awkward because something felt not quite right.
