A few minutes later Xander came down and entered the dining room with a goofy smile on his face, he was grinning from ear to ear as he sauntered towards the table and sat right next to Katherine. He picked up her plate and served her first before serving himself and they both started eating. Katherine's face was redder than a tomato, she kept her head low and avoided any sort of eye contact. "You are just simply too cute!" upon seeing Katherine's demeanor Xander exclaimed.
He couldn't help but tease her so he inched closer to her with a mischievous grin and whispered his dirty thoughts seductively into her ears.
And she chocked. Katherine violently coughed as she chocked on her own spit and Xander quickly grabbed a glass of water and helped her drink it. He started rubbing her back and didn't stop until she had calmed down and was fine.
After Katherine had calmed down she roughly removed his hands from his her back and glared daggers at the shameless man sitting beside her. "Y-you are s-such an extremely s-shameless p-pervert. How can y-you speak l-like that?" she mumbled while stammering as she felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter. She felt something pool in the lower region of her stomach which made her squeeze her legs together in an attempt to ease the feeling.
"But my love I'm just being honest, don't you like my honesty? I'm saying it would feel very good and pleasurable if you put my ——" Xander didn't get to finish his words because Katherine shoved a spoonful of food into his mouth to shut him up. He attempted to speak again but she shoved another spoonful of food into his mouth and he couldn't stop the wicked grin on his face. He continued to happily eat his food as she continued to feed him. He also decided to feed her as well since she was busy feeding him and just like that, the couple continued to eat in comfortable silence as they fed each other.
After their meal was over Katherine immediately stood up and started walking toward the door that leads to the kitchen, but she wasn't alone because Xander followed right behind her. "where are you going my love? Do you want to eat something else? If you tell me i will cook it for you. Unless of course it's me you want to eat, i assure there's no need to cook me because i taste absolutely delicious raw." Xander chuckled and quickened his pace when he saw that Katherine had practically ran to the kitchen in an attempt to escape from his teasing.
With just a few more strides he was able to catch up with is wife because of his long and powerful legs. "My sweet how can you run away and leave me behind like that." Xander pouted and sat on the kitchen counter that was near the sink where Katherine was washing apples.
"I wanted to have some apples but it's like aunt Rosa forgot to cut some for me so I decided to cut it myself. And please just shut up okay? Enough with the teasing if not I will kick you out of the bed tonight and make you sleep on the sofa." Katherine mused as she dried the apples and put them on a plate before she took the knife and started cutting it.
Seeing that Xander had instantly clamped his mouth shut after she threatened to kick him out of bed made her grin inwardly and the sight of his sullen expression was so hilarious that she couldn't help but let out a series of soft laughter with her voice that is sweeter than the honey. "here, you can have these. I will cut some for myself now." she handed a plate with two cut apples to Xander and he took it and started eating with a fork while sulking to himself. She chuckled again and continued to cut the apples.
She took a peek at the sulking spoilt brat of a husband with an amused smile while cutting the last piece of apple. "ah!" she yelped when she cut herself with the sharp apple knife and blood started gushing out of her finger.
"Katherine!" Xander shouted as he immediately stood up and grabbed her hand and put the finger that was cut in his mouth to stop the bleeding. Katherine blushed at the action and tried to remove her finger from Xander's mouth but she was surprised when he removed it and dragged her to the other side of the kitchen and made her sit on a kitchen stool. He instantly took out the box aid kit and started cleaning her finger, after he was done cleaning it and was about to put a bandage on it, his hand froze mid air.
Katherine was silently watching as Xander was tending to her small wound with a worried expression marring his face, she watched as he gingerly cleaned her wound and she felt her heart squeeze at his actions. "I never thought that it was possible for me to find someone who would love me this deep." he was reacting as if her entire arm had been chopped off. What a silly man. She thought inwardly.
She snapped out of her stupor when she saw Xander had stood there frozen with his hand mid air. She glanced her finger and cursed inside her head before she quickly retracted her hand and attempted to leave the kitchen but Xander held her firmly and made her sit still.
"W-what happened? How is your finger completely healed as if it wasn't cut and bleeding before? I'm sure it wasn't a small cut because of the amount of blood that was gushing out. How is this possible?" Xander was absolutely shocked to see that. He wasn't expecting to see her wound immediately heal just after a couple of minutes as if she was some kind of vampire." care to explain?" He probed further when he noticed Katherine was just silently sitting there avoiding his gaze.
"Katherine please be honest with me, I am still hurt by the fact that you didn't tell me about what happened earlier between you and that William jerk, you know how much I love you and so obviously I would be worried sick about your safety. It's not fair to be hiding things from me especially when it concerns your well-being. Is it that you still don't trust me or you don't consider me important enough to tell me?" Xander asked again, his voice was calm but considering the edginess of his tone and the drop in temperature Katherine could tell that he was angry but he's just suppressing it.
She stood up and without warning she threw herself at him and hugged him."I'm sorry Xander I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't tell you about it sooner because I didn't want you to leave your work and rush to me or make you worry about unimportant things." she mumbled in his ear as she continued to stay in his embrace.
Xander tightened his arms around her body but not enough to hurt her as he growled "Nothing regarding you is unimportant to me so don't you dare think like that ever again!"
She sigh at her temperamental husband and said "Okay Okay, I'm sorry. I won't do it again so just calm down please."
Xander breath out through his mouth and continued "so will you tell me about the wound?" and he felt Katherine's body stiffen at his question.
"Would you think I'm a monster if I tell you that I have a very fast healing ability? Faster than any normal person because of what the BEPBU did to me?" she meekly asked him, her voice filled with both fear and hesitation at what Xander might think of her. Would he feel repulsed by her and leave her? Her body shook and her arms around him tightened as she waited for his answer which felt like waiting for a judge to give his sentence on whether she gets to live or she is to be executed.
Xander remained quiet for a few minutes, he was about to open his mouth and speak when he was interrupted by Katherine's shaky voice. "please don't hate me Xander, I-i didn't know that they would do this to me. One day they said that they were trying out a new experiment on me and then they injected me with something and a few minutes later they cut the entire flesh that was on my thigh off but to my shock the flesh grew back like it was never cut before and the pain went away. I'm sorry Xander for not telling you this, please don't hate me okay? "
She mumbled all in one go as her voice quivered and it was was filled with pain and dread and as she pulled out to look Xander's face, she felt a chill blow on her skin like the wind of Antarctica had entered the kitchen, she felt a shiver ran down her spine as her eyes met with his, it was nothing less to a hellfire that was barely contained, ready to break out and burn the entire world to nothing but ashes.
