Rules of Engagement

Soren brought out a camp bed and threw a thin quilt onto it. After all, their marriage certificate was not valid yet and they were not familiar with each other. She must feel uneasy. He thought of her friend telling her to save the number of the police before she left. It was so funny. Was he really so different from a gentleman?

He took a shirt and a pair of sweatpants of his own and handed them to Elsa. "Please make do with these clothes tonight, Elsa."

What? Hearing that, Elsa froze for a moment. Every time she struggled with something, it would be solved easily by him. She took them and said, "Thank you."

When Soren was about to say something, his phone rang. He answered it, but his attitude became a little stiff. He said in a cold tone, "Dad?"

While talking on the phone, he made a gesture to tell Elsa that she could take a shower first. He was indeed a leader. His manners and deportment were always impeccable, which made Elsa feel as if he was going to take some special action.

She rushed into the bathroom. She would have a shower first even if he didn't tell her. She would feel uneasy if she had to bathe in the same room with a strange man. She must finish it as soon as possible when he was out talking on the phone.

After such a busy day, Elsa felt both physically and mentally exhausted. It was comfortable to rest in hot water and her restless mood was alleviated. After the shower, she took Soren's shirt by her hands. When she smelled his unique odor, her face began to heat up. She put it on in a few movements. The shirt was so big that it could cover her thigh. And the sweatpants were loose too. Fortunately, she could tie the drawstring tightly, so they wouldn't fall off.

In this way, it seemed that as long as she breathed a little heavily, his smell would fill in her nostrils, and all her clothes was full of his smell, sunny, warm... manly and masculine.

Elsa walked out of the bathroom, with confusion in her eyes. She could only see a figure sitting on the edge of the bed. She thought it would take a while for Soren to make the phone call, but to her surprise, he had already finished it. Seeing her come out, he also grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom. "Phew." Elsa let out a sigh of relief.

She made the bed and tucked herself in. This was his home. So she was self-aware enough to choose the small camp bed, instead of the big one... On the big bed, the sheet and quilt were made by her parents. It was a pity that she could not sleep on them.

The camp bed was also full of his masculine smell. As soon as she lied on it, the unfamiliar smell surrounded her entirely, wrapped her tightly like a rope. Elsa quickly sat up. She put on her glasses and looked around. But the photo on the dresser was gone, not even the frame.

There was only some cake left on the dresser, and the cream and peaches on it were very attractive, giving off a faint fragrance. She was embarrassed just now, so she only ate a little. Now that she saw this delicious cake, she could not help but want to eat it. Elsa stealthily take a bite of the cake with her finger and sighed with satisfaction.

She took another two bites of the cake and swept the edge of her lips, secretly glancing at the bathroom like a little rat. When Soren was taking a shower, the sound of the water came to her ears. He could not find her eating as he was standing behind the wall and so far away. Elsa enjoyed the cake in peace. When she looked at the bathroom again, she saw that he was rubbing the bubbles in his hands and washing his hair. The water splashed all over his strong body. She couldn't help admiring his excellent figure and dragged back her eyes. See no evil. See no evil.
