The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Noelle widened her eyes as she watched Charles' actions. She had not expected him to actually drink it himself.

Before she could even feel happy about it, her eyes grew even rounder in disbelief as Charles tilted his head back and drank the tea. He then lifted her chin. The next second, his warm lips quickly pressed against hers. In that instant, Noelle's taste buds seemed to explode with the combination of warmth and the pungent taste of the herbs.

Charles raised an eyebrow, amused by her playful attitude. He reached out and lightly pinched her nose. "Alright. You're probably hungry now.
