Holding Daniel's nape as he leaned forward, the sound of kisses echoed inside the bathroom along with the rushing sound of the water flowing. The kisses continued for minutes until finally stopped and only their labored breaths were left. However, that didn't last long when they started kissing again and this time, a deep suppressed moan could be heard along with it.
"Are you coming?" Daniel asked between their kisses as he continued to stroke the Alpha's length with his soft and delicate palms. Earlier, he volunteered to take the Alpha in the mouth again being that he wasn't able to fully display his skills earlier but Laotian declined and told him to use his hand instead as he didn't want the Omega to work himself up too much.
"Hmmm, keep going at it. I'm close," Laotian whispered before he kissed Daniel again and true to his words, after a few more strokes, Daniel felt something warmer suddenly poured on his palms. He instantly recognized what it was and he smiled between their kisses. Laotian noticed this and he slightly frowned, holding onto his wife's cheeks. He didn't say anything but Daniel knew the Alpha wondered why he was smiling just when he just came.
"I'm just happy that there's still a lot," Daniel suddenly said, further confusing Laotian but he replied anyway and quickly took Daniel's sullied hands near the shower and washed off his semen.
"Of course there's a lot. I've been holding back," Laotian replied, cleaning his beloved wife's hand drawing out soft giggles from the Omega before he hugged Laotian sideways due to his stomach being in the way.
"Just a few more months Laotian, and when I'm finally able, I'll do whatever you want me to do," Daniel whispered and purposely made it seductive that it earned a low vibration from Laotian's chest. He wanted to jump on Daniel and fuck him senselessly like there's no tomorrow but he quickly suppressed himself and held his wife's delicate shoulders, thinking he should strengthen his resolve more in order to protect his wife from his selfish desires.
"Please don't give me wild ideas," Laotian said in defeat. It may not show on his face but he had the dirtiest mind when it comes to Daniel. If he could, he wanted to be able to stay on the bed with the Omega day and night and not do anything but just watch his wife bounce on top of him moaning his name and that no matter how much he filled his womb, he wanted Daniel to crave for him more and more until he had nothing on his mind except him and the heat shared between them.
"Or else?" Daniel teased, lifting his head to flutter his lashes towards the Alpha. When Laotian saw this, he sighed in defeat before he turned off the faucet and suddenly lifted Daniel on his arms making him yelp in surprise before the Alpha walked out of the shower room.
"Or else you'll catch a cold for staying too long in the shower," Laotian said as they walked out of the bathroom despite still dripping wet. When they reached the bed, Laotian slowly made Daniel sit at the edge then quickly marched back to the bathroom and took a fresh set of towels for the two of them before walking back to his wife again to help him dry himself.
While drying Daniel's hair carefully rubbing the towel against his wet lock, silence invaded the room but it wasn't an awkward silence. It was a warm and peaceful feeling shared between the two of them. Daniel used to be so shy after a passionate moment but after more than 2 years of marriage, standing naked in front of each other was now very casual.
"How was your trip? Feeling any discomfort?" Laotian suddenly asked, remembering he wasn't able to ask earlier because they went at it after he woke up and then went to the shower, only to go at it again. He needs to remind himself again that he shouldn't stress the Omega's body like that again, at least not until the twins are out.
"It was good and the twins are fine. I don't feel any discomfort thanks to Ryan's safe driving,"
"That's good to hear," Laotian hummed with a smile still helping the Omega dry his hair.
"How about you? Are you really fine? Is David really going to be okay?" Daniel asked. Although the Alpha seemed to be fine, he still can't help but ask him one more time just to make sure.
"Hmmm, I am feeling much better that you and our son are here with me again..." Laotian started and kissed his wife's forehead before they drew back from each other with Laotian's thumb still rubbing on Daniel's soft and delicate cheeks. "As for David, I hope he's fine. He went through a lot even before last night happened, but he's strong so I believe he will be," Laotian added, his thumb continued to rub against Daniel's cheeks.
"Laotian, what happened last night? Can you tell me?" Daniel asked, hearing the Alpha's words. He knew that there was nothing he could do but he wanted to at least know what had happened so he could prepare himself to better prepare his emotions.
"I can, but before that, you have to dress warmly first," Laotian said and pinched Daniel's nose.
With that said, Daniel quickly nodded in agreement. It didn't take more than 10 minutes before both of them are properly dressed warmly however after deciding to have their talk at Laotian's office room, Daniel's eyes suddenly caught something that he didn't at all notice earlier when he arrived.
"O-Oh my God! You really took it," Daniel gasped, putting his mouth against his mouth in surprise. Well, he did expect that the Alpha would take the paintings from the gallery last night but he already told him not to because he could paint another one for him if he wanted.
"I simply cannot let other people possess it," Laotian said from the background and walked towards Daniel and hugged him from the back. He buried his face against Daniel's neck and their bodies swayed in a loving manner.
"This was our story. This is too personal for me to let others take it," Laotian added whispering before he kissed Daniel's nape. Meanwhile, hearing this from the Alpha, his cheeks turned red. He didn't understand why he suddenly felt embarrassed since he did paint the piece with Laotian in his mind but now realizing that the painting was actually inspired by their experience of love, he felt embarrassed that he actually shared this with other people. Something so personal, just like what Laotian said, he felt shy about it.
"H-How did you know this was our story?" Daniel mumbled trying to be in denial but it was useless, because from the title itself 'Our Story', it was too obvious from Laotian to ignore. Additionally, he could genuinely feel that the paintings were drawn from their image. Even if it was a painting, he could tell.
"Because I could feel it. You should know, last night my heart pounded loudly when I saw it..." Laotian confessed before turning Daniel around so they could look at each other's eyes. "In fact, you took everybody's heart with your painting last night, I'm so proud of you," Laotian added, making the pinkish hue on Daniel's cheeks turn into a deeper shade.
"T-Thank you, Laotian...but now that I've thought of it... I can't believe I showed this to everyone, n-now everybody knows our story," Daniel said, hiding his face in embarrassment thinking people might have already known how their story went.
"Silly, that's not true. Nobody knew you were the painter, and you should be proud of yourself, you did a very great job that took people's breaths away with your art," Laotian encouraged, although he thought that with him bidding for it last night would eventually reveal his wife's identity as the painter.
"Really? Thank goodness I decided to remain anonymous. Maybe one day when I'm much braver," Daniel said, relieved. He was still very shy to show himself in public as he was not ready yet.
"And I'll be by your side every step of the way. I'll always be your number one fan," Laotian whispered his promises and without much to say, sealed with a kiss.

After the short heartwarming session and a dangerous make-out, the two decided to finally change location which was at Laotain's office space. They were on the couch with Daniel sitting on his husband's lap like they always did. Despite his massive stomach, Laotian was still able to find a way so Daniel would feel comfortable in their position because he absolutely didn't like the Omega sitting on the chair when he was on his lap. He finds it extremely irritating for some reason.
After finally settling, the two started talking like they usually do, and just like Laotian promised, he told Daniel everything that he wanted to know. They talked for almost an hour where Laotian revealed everything he knew from David asking for vacation leave to when they found out that the man was kidnapped by his own biological son and how he and Hanlu had rescued him. Laotian also didn't spare the fact that the person behind the recent Veronica Chime scandal was actually instigated by David's son in order to plot revenge on the Mo Family for keeping his father from their family, as well as the fact that it was David's son who plotted Lan's kidnapping and his and Luangmin's poisoning.
And while listening, Daniel's heart went up and down, holding onto the Alpha's arm. He would hold his breath, sometimes sigh in relief, and later on only to cry remembering the hardships the children had been through.
"A-And was it also him who asked someone to push me back then?" Daniel asked, now knowing that everything that had happened until now was actually caused by someone. He learned that Joshua Bronson was part of the enemy's plan but he was relieved that the Alpha wasn't directly part of his in-law's plan.
"That..." The moment Daniel asked, Laotian suddenly stiffened but quickly relaxed; however it was too obvious for Daniel not to notice that he frowned in question. Laotian didn't reply first and since his palm was already on the Omega's bulging stomach, he started caressing it in a circular motion and contemplated whether to tell his wife or not about what Susan Sullen did. Daniel might not show it but he's worried that the Omega would get emotionally affected learning that his biological mother had caused him harm.
"What's the matter? Was it someone else?" Daniel asked, looking at the Alpha curiously. When Laotian seemed like he was still deciding whether to tell or not, Daniel patiently waited for him to speak. He smiled and held Laotian's hand, making sure that no matter what the Alpha would say, whether it would hurt him or not, he would definitely still prefer to know than be kept in the dark.
Of course, Daniel didn't have to say as Laotian already knew this and he did promise not to keep anything from Daniel anymore. But he was really afraid, he wasn't brave enough to watch his beloved cry in pain because he'd only wanted to kill those people.
Leaning closer to Daniel, Laotian kissed the Omega's forehead and later held his hand and kissed the back of it while they looked at each other's eyes.
"Yes, it was indeed a different person," Laotian finally said and Daniel nodded and urged the Alpha to continue, there was fear in the Alpha's eyes but Daniel was determined to know. He felt touched that Laotian was really sweet and considerate of him physically and emotionally but the Alpha must understand that keeping things that are related to him will only hurt him more.
"Go on. It's okay Laotian," Daniel encouraged as their forehead touched.
"I-It was Susan Sullen, your biological mother," Laotian revealed, making Daniel's eyes slightly open wide.
"W-what? H-How?"
