Iris jolted awake. 

She blinked into the moonlight illuminating the room and then groaned softly.

This had been the fourth time she had woken.

Every time she had settled in and drifted off, Iris had felt some phantom breeze caress her body. It caused a sense of panic that had her shooting up to whirl on Eris, assuming he was the one touching her. 

Each time she woke, dagger in hand and consequences be damned, she would kill him for breaking his promise not to harm her. But each time Iris woke ready to beat his ass, he was sound asleep. After what felt like an eternity of watching him with wide eyes, she’d try to go back to sleep.

Only to be woken again by her own irrational panic. 

This time, Iris let her eyes shutter to a close and sighed. 

She felt the glow of the moonlight through the windows, felt the easy breeze flitter around the room. The easy breeze that seemed to trigger her body awake. 

But she kept her eyes closed. 

Because this time when she woke, his body felt closer to hers than it should have, and if she opened her eyes and found him staring at her, Iris would likely commit murder — the victim unclear. 

Iris listened carefully and when his breathing remained deep, she cracked an eye open and found the source of body heat, his position shifting from the previous time she had woken.

Eris was now on his stomach, his head resting on the pillow facing her and fast asleep. 

Iris blinked and hugged the pillow between them closer to her, watching him breathe, the moonlight casting a serene glow on his face. 

“I could also be your friend.”

It had taken Iris longer than she cared to admit to fall asleep last night. She kept thinking about the fact that a male, her husband, was now sleeping next to her. The day that had felt like seven kept replaying over and over in her mind. Iris had jerked awake so many times, thinking she’d felt his hands on her to find him still on his side, her silly little barricade between them and fast asleep. 

She was exhausted. Whoever saw her later today would fall right into the expectations Eris wanted them to have.

Iris’s fingers dug into the pillow and her eyes found his face again, slowly scanning it. The ever-smirking mouth was relaxed but even in his sleep, his expression was serious, as if already thinking about what the day would bring.

She watched him then impulsively bought a finger and gently pressed between his furrowed brows and immediately hid her hand again as he shifted and his face relaxed. 

He was pretty.

Iris frowned, hating the thought. 

Giving up on sleep for the moment, she sat up and scooted a little closer, still holding the pillow between them like a shield. She might as well stare at him unabashedly and analyze him while he was asleep instead of when he was staring into her soul and trying to kiss her. 

She scanned his face again, at the very faint scattered freckles. Her eyes moved to his arms half-hidden beneath his own pillow, and the toned muscles reminded Iris that he was indeed, the son of a high lord, and power ran through those veins. Son of a high lord and likely, the next high lord. 

And she was his wife.

Iris sighed quietly and pursed her lips, her eyes now moving to his bare back. She bit her lip as she took in the scaring found there, as if it was left unhealed on purpose. 

Gifts. He had said gifts. A sour taste filled her mouth, thinking of who he had been protecting. 

It filled her with sorrow and rage thinking about how she could have used protecting from her own horrors. 

Iris gripped her pillow even tighter and swallowed, her eyes glued to his sleeping face. 

“I could also be your friend.”

Her heart had literally stopped when Eris had said that to her. He had said it so casually, like it wouldn’t slide her whole world from beneath her feet. 

Would he really be her friend? Or was it some kind of trick?

“I have no intentions of hurting you. I don’t want this marriage to be miserable.”

But her father — Iris took a sharp breath and tried to shut back the memory of his sneering the night before the wedding when she had begged tearfully not to let it go through. How she begged him not to marry her off to a stranger. Not to marry her off to this awful male who would tear her apart piece by piece until she was nothing. Until she was a husk of a person, the way his father had broken his mother. Or so she thought.

“He’ll break you in ways that I couldn’t.” her father had only said with a scoff. “And it’ll get you off my hands finally. You better not cause any trouble.”

Iris shuddered and stared at the male asleep next to her. Her father didn’t know that she’d go down swinging. If Eris tried to break her, she’d break him too. But...all the actions of the previous night seemed to indicate otherwise. 

Her eyes flickered back to the scars on his back then to his face, his brows furrowed once more. 

She pursed her lips and once again, before she could stop herself, pressed her finger to his forehead and his face relaxed. She froze as he mumbled something incoherent in his sleep and shifted, turning on his side, facing her.

When a minute passed and he didn’t move again, Iris relaxed her body once more then sighed, letting the pillow fall from her hands to the space between them. She hugged her legs to her chest and rested her chin on her knees, gazing about the room. 

Her new home. 

Could she find happiness here? Could this new place bring her the peace she hadn’t felt anywhere else?

Could her husband really give her the life she had craved? Freedom? Warmth?

Or would he cage her as her father had? 

Iris’s face fell, glancing at Eri’s sleeping figure once more. 

“Could you make me happy?” she whispered and felt her eyes well up with unshed tears. “Am I really safe?”

And only because she was covered by the night did Iris let herself release the stress of the day and her fears once more. With a small sniffle, she curled up on her side and hugged the pillow between them. Iris stared at her husband sleeping, bringing a hand to wipe at the tears that had fallen. 

“Do you think you would eventually be willing to be my friend?”

She had said maybe. And maybe was enough for him for now. 

Iris desperately hoped she could find it in herself to say yes soon. That he would be worth the yes. She needed someone in her corner. Someone to be her friend. 

“Is it stupid of me to hope?” she whispered with trembling lips and sniffled, squeezing her eyes shut. 

Hope was dangerous. Hope would hurt her. 

But there seemed to be hope in his question. And hope in her answer. 

Maybe was good. Maybe would be enough for now. Until she stopped being fearful he would change his mind, maybe would be enough. 

Iris watched him sleep until her eyelids started drooping and with the promise to demand more from him in the morning, sweet sleep finally found her. 

-

“You’re here bright and early.”

Eris pursed his lips, sitting across from his mother in her private room. The Lady of Autumn took a sip of her tea and gave her son a knowing look. “I didn’t expect to see you until later on in the day.”

“We always have a morning cup together, mother.”

Every single morning. He never missed it. Waking up next to Beron was enough of an awful start to her day that if Eris could brighten her morning with something as little as a cup of tea, he made sure to do it.  

“Yes, but you have a wife now. And it is the morning after your wedding. Surely, you should be having a morning cup with her.” Lady Autumn said with a chuckle, passing him his own cup and then sliding a plate of delicate pastries towards him. “Why aren’t you spending time with your bride?”

His bride was currently sleeping like the dead in their shared bed. Eris had taken one look at Iris’s sleeping figure when he woke and knew he had to get out of the room as soon as possible. 

She had turned in her sleep, hugging the pillow between them, and closer to him than he had expected. It took Eris several agonizing minutes to rip his gaze from her lips and the way her arms were wrapped around the pillow, hair fanned behind her. 

He had taken a very cold shower to try and take the edge off his ridiculous hormonal response every time he looked at her but try as he might, it did not help. He had to be one of the few males in the land using his own hand for release the morning after his wedding. 

Eris had waited until it would be deemed a reasonable hour for a groom to leave his bedroom before coming to see his mother. Thankfully, his father had been long gone. 

And only because Eris was over 500 years old, he tried not to pout as the top of his ears heated, avoiding his mother’s gaze. “Because she might stab me if I try to spend time with her.” he said with a scowl.

“Rough night?” she asked with a small smile, bringing her teacup to her mouth and Eris scowled further, drumming his fingers on the table.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were making fun of me, mother.” he said and his mother chuckled, bringing her hand over his and squeezed it. 

“You’re too easy to tease.” she said and Eris met her gaze and shook his head with a faint smile, rubbing the tip of his ear. “How did it go then?”

He paused, unsure of exactly how to proceed. How would he tell his lovely mother he’d gotten several death threats by the female who now shared his bed? 

“Well.” 

Lady Autumn raised her brows. “Yes?”

“I tried to kiss her and she kneed me in the balls.”

His mother blinked, resting the teacup back down on the table. “Oh?”

“Then she threw a chair at me.” 

Her brows rose again. “I see.”

“And stole my dagger and threatened to stab me with it if I touched her.” he grumbled and scowled as he watched his own mother fight back a smile.

“Did she now?”

“She is more violent than I expected.” 

“Oh...I like her.”

“Mother.” he said in what could only be described as an almost whine and his mother had the sense to at least cover her mouth with a hand to hide another smile.

He felt his whole body heat up, his cheeks reddening. Gods only knew if anyone found out he was talking to his mother about his wedding night, how mortifying it would be. 

And he had the audacity to tell Iris he didn’t embarrass easily. 

“I...helped her with her hair.” he said much more quietly now and his mother smiled softly, squeezing his hand again.

“Did you?”

Eris nodded, swallowing. “It was going well,” he began again. “Until I helped her with her dress and couldn’t stop myself from touching her.”

“Eris.”

“I know, mother. I stopped immediately.” 

His mother nodded and Eris took the chance to take a sip of his own cup as she gave him an encouraging look.“Did she like the room? Her clothes?”

Eris pursed his lips, feeling like a male who had just hit puberty and didn’t know what to do with his penis. “I think so? I don’t think she explored it much. She seemed too nervous.”

His mother gave him another encouraging nod. “She’ll have time. I hope you did your best to ease her worries as we discussed? Show her kindness?”

Eris took a breath, his cheeks now stained to match his hair. It took him a few minutes to finally mumble, “I asked her to be my friend.” 

His mother blinked then smiled. “And what did she say?”

“Maybe.”

“Well, that’s a good start. Maybe is very reasonable.”

“That’s what I also said.”

“Like mother, like son.”

Eris smiled tightly and squeezed his mother’s hand then sighed. “She keeps thinking I’m going to hurt her. I’m unsure how to convince her otherwise.”

“Think of who her father is, dear. She’s doing her best.”

Eris immediately scowled at that. “He’s an even bigger piece of shit than expected. Her father only told her about the wedding a week before...Were you aware of his sparkling personality?”

The Lady of Autumn’s lips went into a thin line. “I knew he had to be in the way he approached your father about the marriage. For your father to approve it...I had my guesses.”

He ruffled his hair and glanced at his mother for a moment then looked away once more, wondering how to phrase the question so that he didn’t choke on his own embarrassment. 

His mother squeezed his hand once more. “You know you can say anything you need to, my son.”

Eris let a few seconds pass in silence and in a soft tone he only ever used with his mother he said, “I’ve been with females before,” he began. “But this is different. She is different...Is it because she’s my wife that I feel...pulled towards her?’

His mother smiled gently and Eris immediately avoided her glance, his cheeks heating. 

“Eris, look at me please.”

“Mother, please.” he mumbled, his body tensing, but his mother chuckled and reached out to gently pull his face towards her. 

“There is nothing to be embarrassed about with me.”

Eris nodded and she patted his cheek, asking a question he had been thinking since sitting here. “Do you think whatever this is between us...will work?”

“It will work if you fight for it.” his mother replied. “You’ve always wanted someone that’s yours. Iris is now your wife, and your wife should be your partner. Unfortunate choice of union aside, you can make the most of it and you should. I raised you. I know who you are. The mask you wear for others should come off the moment you two are alone together. She doesn’t need it.”

Eris rolled his shoulders back, his eyes on his teacup. “She wears one of her own.”

His mother shook her head lightly. “Until she feels safe with you, she always will.” she began. “And that’s going to be hard. You’re not the reason she feels unsafe, she came from a home that did that to her so it’ll take some time for her to believe she can find peace here. Let this home be one she doesn’t have anything to fear in.”

Eris thought back to all her actions and words from last night. Her final question before they had slept. 

“Will you...would you ever force me? If I didn’t want to?” 

He pursed his lips. “Any suggestions?”

“Spend as much time out of the house as possible. Get to know each other away from prying eyes and listening ears.” she replied with a knowing look. “You’re relieved from your duties for the next week. Spend it wisely with her.”

Eris nodded and let out a breath, looking over at his mother. “So. Seduce her in the garden, you say?”

His mother rolled her eyes and gave him an amused smile. “I heard she might stab you if you tried.” she said dryly and Eris chuckled.

“She just might.” he replied then sighed. “But I’ll do my best.”

“I know you will.”

Eris paused again, knowing his next question would shift the tone of the conversation. “Has father...said anything?”

His mother’s lips tightened briefly. “Don’t worry about him.”

“How can I not?” Eris said with a scoff, his voice low. His own lips went into a thin line and he swallowed. “I’m afraid he’ll...I don’t want to put in the energy if he’s going to take it all away from me out of spite.”

The Lady of Autumn very carefully set her teacup back down on the table. “If he so much as looks towards you or Iris with ill-intent, he will know exactly why I’ve put up with him for this long.”

A heartbeat of silence fell and then, “Just say the word, mother,” Eris said quietly. “ And he’ll be dead.” 

His mother reached over and squeezed his hand tightly. “Not yet.”

“Soon?” he practically begged and his mother swallowed.

“Soon.” she replied then patted his hand. “Now leave this dreary subject behind, eat something,  and go spend time with your wife.”

-

“Iris?”

She blinked sleepily at the hand gently shaking her awake. The hand sliding down her arm, pulling her to her side and Iris bolted up right away, a fist flying out and colliding with a face.

“For fucks sake,” came Eris’s hiss as he held his nose and glared at her but Iris only glared right back, moving the pillow aside to shove him back.

“Mind your hands, you heathen.” she hissed and before she could aim another punch or shove him again, Eris had grabbed both of her wrists.

“I was trying to gently wake you up, wife.” he said with a scoff. “Could you please stop aiming for my face? It’s a masterpiece I’d rather not have destroyed.”

Iris growled trying to break out of his grip and attempted to kick him instead, sending more of the pillow barricade flying but Eris only gripped her hands tightly and used his own leg to pin down her legs.

“I’ll show you a masterpiece,” she said through clenched teeth. “Let go of me!”

“Stop trying to hit me!”

Iris only wiggled further until Eris finally pinned her down completely, his whole body covering hers.

“Get off me!” 

“Stop trying to maim me then!”

Iris glared at him as he held her hands and he had the nerve to smirk at her.

“Get off me and I’ll decide afterward if I shall maim you or not.”

“Good morning to you too, wife. Fancy seeing you in this position.”

Iris growled again and tried jabbing him with her elbows but he only chuckled, holding her in place. “If you don’t let go of me, I’m going to bite.”

“Gods, you’re like a feral little cat, aren’t you?” he observed and narrowed his eyes at her. “I will let go on the condition you don’t try to jab me with anything, fingers or otherwise.”

“You deserve at least one jab so I won’t agree to that.”

“I could lay here all day, wife.”

“I will bite you, husband.”

“I’m usually the one leaving bite marks but by all means, go ahead and bite me.” he said with a raised brow. “You’ll have to forgive me if I moan a little when you do though.”

Iris glared as her cheeks flushed but her little shit of a husband only grinned broadly and she rolled her eyes. “Fine.” she grumbled. “Just get off me.”

Eris gave her a look of warning as he slowly peeled himself off her and Iris tried not to think about how she hadn’t felt the body of another against hers like this in the longest time. Even though any feel of a male’s body against hers had been stolen moments that were too quick to truly feel it. 

Iris sat up, glowering at Eris who sat across from her on their bed, smirking. Running a hand through her hair, she huffed a breath and took in the way he was already dressed.

“And where were you?”

He smirked and tilted his head, observing her. “Did you miss me, wife?”

“Your absence was clearly not noted as I was having wonderful dreams of you violently being stabbed to death.” she said with a snort, quickly sliding away from him and off the bed. 

“You seem to have quite the knife kink. Would you like us to explore this interest?”

“I’d like to explore the option of you drowning yourself in the nearest stream.” 

Eris chuckled again and Iris watched him slide off the bed and towards her, trying not to think about how the rumpled sheets looked. “Only if you go with me and we’re both naked.”

Iris tore her eyes away from the bed and Eris and gave him a disgusted look. “I don’t want to be naked with you anywhere.” she muttered and walked towards their shared closet, opening it to glance at what she’d wear for the day. But mainly to avoid looking at him and his stupid smug face. 

“We’ll see how long you'll keep that resolve.” his response was almost a purr.

She flipped him off over her shoulder and bristled at the chuckle in response and tried to ignore it, searching through the dresses hanging there. She stole a glance at him over her shoulder and found him nearing their dining table. She hadn’t even noticed the covered tray on it.

Eris caught her eye and removed the cover, waving his hand. “Breakfast for the bride and groom. Assuming my face hasn’t made you lose your appetite, of course.” 

“You know me so well already.” she replied with a sarcastic smile then turned back to the rainbow of colors that was her closet. 

She had barely noticed anything last night but now took the time to really look through the pieces. Nothing hanging there was hers. Whoever had made all these selections had excellent taste but...definitely not hers. Her father had only cared about what she wore in the few instances her presence was mandatory and those had been few and far between. Many days she stayed in comfortable dresses or a simple tunic and pants.

Iris let her hand drag across the various clothing hanging there, most of which were dresses but she noticed a few pants and tunics. She felt the soft fabric of a wine-colored dress between her fingers as she turned back to Eris and asked, “You sure went out of your way to give your little wife the nicest clothes to get dolled up.”=

She watched Eris bristle, a muscle flexed along his jaw and he cleared his throat, taking a seat at the dining table before answering her quietly. “My mother picked everything out.” he said, a slight sharpness to his tone. “She likes to spoil her daughter-in-laws since she doesn’t have daughters of her own. Elain is constantly getting packages.”

Iris blinked in surprise then swallowed, a simmer of shame coiled inside her.  

“But if you’d prefer she didn’t include you in the spoiling or if there’s something you don’t like, you can simply decline and let me know. I’d rather pass the message along myself.” he added, fingers drumming on the table, meeting her gaze briefly then looked away. “She just wanted to make you feel welcome.”

Iris flushed and turned back to the closet with fresh eyes, embarrassed and sad all at once. Of course, her immediate reaction was to be rude about it. Of course. 

She examined the clothing once more and bit her lip, pulling out an elegant tunic and pants set of emerald with gold threading. “None of the things I owed were this nice.” she finally said softly. “This is very kind of her...she has beautiful taste.”

“That she does.” he only said. “She was who I was with this morning.”

Iris turned back to him, surprised. “You...went to see your mother?” 

“I spend every morning with her for breakfast or tea.” he said and Iris heard the defensiveness in his tone. “It makes her happy.”

“That’s — that’s very nice.” she said with a swallow, turning away from him. “I’m sure your mother enjoys it very much.”

“Whenever you’d like, you’re welcome to join us.” he said quietly. “She welcomes you whenever you’d be up for it.”

Iris froze, her expression softening. Oh, she would love that. She would — her body went rigid. 

“Did you...happen to talk to her about...us?” she asked without turning. She definitely didn’t want to see his expression. Would his mother have expected him to be awful to her as well? Iris couldn’t see that happening but...Iris blinked again. He had visited his mother. After their wedding night. Was that odd? Should she feel relief that he seems to have a positive relationship with his mother? What would her...mother-in-law expect from her now?

“Whatever you’re thinking about, relax.” he spoke and she turned back to him, finding an amused expression on his face. “She asked about you and if you were doing okay. I told her about your violent tendencies and rest assured, she already likes you very much.”

Iris blinked then let out a snort. “Your mother likes me even when I tried to stab you?”

“Her daughter-in-laws seem to have a tendency to dislike her sons at first so she isn’t exactly surprised, to say the least.” he said with a snort of his own, picking up a piece of toast and waving it at her. “You’ll come around eventually.”

Iris rolled her eyes and at the sight of food, her stomach began to grumble. She abandoned the closet and walked over to take a seat opposite him at the dining table and stared at him for a moment. He stared right back. 

“That’s a confident assumption of you.”

“I am a confident male.”

The two continued to stare at each other and a few silent moments passed.

“So.” Eris finally said and Iris squinted at him.

“So.” she answered, grabbing the piece of toast out of his hand and taking a bite.

His brow quirked at that but then he shook his head, grabbing another piece and the butterknife. Iris watched him butter his toast methodically while she munched on her own and when Eris finally looked up at her, she licked her lips, waiting.

His gaze dropped to her mouth and the corner of his lips lifted as he passed her the piece of toast he was holding. “I felt you shift around at night. Was it the bed or me?”

Iris hesitated for a second, then took the food from him, not breaking his gaze. “You.”

“Mmm. Even after my promise?”

“My father made a lot of promises.” she said with a shrug and took another bite.

She watched his expression sour but Eris only poured her juice instead and passed the cup to her. 

“Wear something comfortable, I’d like to take you sight-seeing.”

Iris blinked. “Really? Where will we go?”

“Out.” he said vaguely, waving a hand. “I’d rather we spent some time away from the house.”

“And do what?”

“We’ll go riding and see where the route takes us.”

Iris perked up. “Really? I love horseback riding!”

“Let’s hope it’s not the only kind of riding you like to do, wife.” he replied with a wink and Iris immediately shot him a glare and slouched at the smirk that accompanied his response. 

“You’re so fucken annoying.” she muttered. “You have to ruin everything.”

“Oof, hearing you swear is just as sexy as you trying to stab me.” he said with a chuckle. “Which, by the way, you wouldn’t do that well. You hold the dagger wrong.”

Iris scoffed, stuffing the rest of her toast in her mouth and reaching over for additional helpings of food. “I hold it just fine.”

Eris hummed, amusement written all over his face. “As someone who has stabbed and killed people, I can assure you. You do not hold it properly. You’d likely end up hurting yourself.”

Iris blinked, the cup of juice paused halfway to her mouth. “...stabbed and killed in the war?”

“Before the war. During the war. After the war. Certain people need to be taken care of.”

Narrowing her eyes, she took a sip then gently put the cup back on the table. “How much could I pay you to stab my father?” she asked with a quirked brow. 

“Oh, I’d gladly kill him for free. Slowly and painfully.” he said with a feral grin. “But a kiss or two wouldn’t hurt.”

Iris rolled her eyes then flipped him off again, to which Eris only laughed, pushing the breakfast try towards her. “It’s been barely a day. Pace yourself, asshole.”

“You’re just so enchanting.” he said with a smirk, his head tilted as he observed her. “I can’t help it.”

Iris stared at him with narrowed eyes and ran her tongue across her teeth. “Just so we’re clear, buttering me up with pretty words doesn’t change our sleeping arrangement.”

“Are you afraid of me, little gazelle?” he asked, his smirk wolfish. “Unless you ask otherwise, I could be gentle with you.”

“Are you sure you’d even know how to do that?” she said with a sneer, though her cheeks had heated. “I’ve heard all about the number of females you’ve gone through.”

“While I am familiar with the art of lovemaking, I do prefer to fuck,” he began and Iris’s back went straight. “But for you my little wife, I would do my best to be as gentle as you want. Pleasuring a female is one of my favorite pastimes.” 

It took Iris a moment before she could respond. He had to be one of the most obnoxious males she had ever encountered. The audacity was astonishing and he seemed to know exactly which buttons of hers to push.

“I’m not afraid of you.” she said quietly, her eyes never leaving his face. 

“Because there’s nothing to be afraid of.” He replied, his gaze locked on hers. “I will keep saying it until you believe it.”

Iris swallowed and pushed the breakfast tray away, her eyes never leaving his. “We shall see.”

“We shall.”

Iris pursed her lips, her finger tapping gently on the table, her thoughts back to her sleepless night. She needed to make things clear and ask for what she wanted. So far, he was being reasonable and Iris wasn’t sure how long she had before he’d demand more and refuse to deliver until she gave it up. 

“In the meantime,” she began, standing. “I have a few requests.”

Eris quirked a brow then waved a hand. “I am at your service.”

“You said I wasn’t holding the dagger correctly. That I would only end up hurting myself, yes?”

He nodded. “Yes. I’ve just let you have your fun. Your friend was clearly too busy trying to steal kisses to teach you properly.”

Iris scowled and Eris gave her a smile. 

“Fine then, husband. You teach me.” she demanded and Eris blinked. “I want to learn how to fight better and properly defend myself.”

Eris paused and Iris held her breath. She knew whatever practice she had gotten before hadn’t been enough. It was too much sneaking and less time practicing with an actual partner. But if he said no…

“Okay.”

Iris blinked. “Okay?”

And he nodded. “Yes. I would be happy to teach you.”

Iris blinked again and rubbed her ear. “That was easier than I expected.”

Eris snorted and leaned towards her, his elbows resting on the table. “Do you think I want a weak wife? I want to be the next high lord. My wife should absolutely know how to defend herself and defend my people.”

Iris tried to hide the slight glee she felt rise in her. It was too much too early. Only yesterday she had wanted to slit his throat but now...they seemed to be on the same page. So she gave him a coy smile.

“Will you make me your high lady?” she asked and Eris barked out a laugh.

“We’ll see how sweet your kisses are then I’ll decide.” he said with a wink. “For someone so reluctant to be my wife, my powerful position seems to seduce you.”

“I know what it’s like to be powerless,” she replied with a shrug. “I can’t help it that being your wife is the best chance I have to never feel that way again.”

Eris assessed her and she felt a faint sense of approval in his gaze. “And I have no interest in making you feel that way either. We seem to be in agreement.”

“Indeed.”

At that, Eris beckoned for her to come closer with two fingers. “Let’s quickly seal the deal with a kiss, preferably with you on my lap.”

Iris let out a soft laugh and waved him off as she walked towards her closet again, pulling out the trouser and tunic set she had eyed earlier. “You’re relentless. I admire how persistently you keep dreaming.”

“One day it won’t be a dream.” Eris said with a chuckle, standing as well and adjusting his shirt. “And oh my little gazelle, once you’ve gotten a taste? I’ll have you delightfully begging.”

Iris’s cheeks heated and she shut the closet door, making her way to their shared washroom. Refusing to let him keep flustering her, Iris turned to face her very aggravating husband, her heart beating rapidly at the sensual smile he gave her. “How could any begging of mine be more delightful than yours, princeling? If anything, you’ve inspired me to keep you on a leash until I have you on your knees.”

His smile turned downright wicked at that and Iris held back a shudder at the scent change in the room.

“I would gladly get on my knees for you, wife.” he said softly. “But it would require you on your back with your legs spread wide open for me and I don’t think you’re quite ready for that.”

Iris froze at the door of their washroom, her back straight as her whole body heated at his words and Eris’s chuckle at her expression was like a bucket of cold water poured on her.

“Are you ready for that?” she spat, flustered and annoyed all at once.

“More than you know.” He answered, an irritating smirk on his face and Iris’s flush deepened. “I already told you, I’m ready whenever you are, wife.”

“Aren’t you always.” she muttered and couldn’t hold back the shudder this time, causing Eris’s grin to widen. 

“In the meantime, a cold shower will help you calm down,” he said with a wink. “But if you need any assistance, I’m one shout away.”

“Go die, please.”

“Only if it’s between your legs.” 

Iris blinked and Eris could only chuckle as she stood there. 

“You’re despicable.” she finally hissed and very viciously flipped him off for the millionth time since she’d met him. 

But Eris only laughed. “Wishing you had my dagger to throw at me now, don’t you?”

“Desperately,” she growled and crossed her arms. “I have two other requests if you’re done being disgusting.”

“I’ve barely started being disgusting with you, my little gazelle,” he replied, his smirk wide. “But yes, what else can I do for you?”

“I don’t want to be caged. I want to be free to go where I please.”

Eris gave her a thoughtful look and nodded. “Of course. Just be mindful of who you speak to. There are snakes everywhere.” he replied, a hand sliding into his pocket. “And your final request?”

Iris paused here, her fingers tightening on her clothes. “A piano.” she said softly. “I’d like to play the piano.”

The corner of his lips curled up and Eris nodded again. “We already have one set in a room close to my mother’s quarters. I’ll show you on our tour.” he said and hesitated briefly before adding on, “Will I get to hear you play?”

Heart thundering at the question, Iris debating for a moment. “Maybe.”

He chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. “It seems like the word maybe will become my new favorite word.”  

With a squint that was more playful than she intended, Iris said once more, “Maybe”, then dashed into the washroom, Eris’s soft laugh following her and pretending the goosebumps that had erupted all over her body had nothing to do with him at all. Absolutely nothing to do with the whirlwind of emotions he seemed to be putting her through. Even as she aggressively scrubbed her body in the bath, as though the more aggressively she scrubbed, the quicker she could wash away his inappropriate comments and what they were not doing her mind and body.

REDESIGNED TRAFFIC CONE IS MINIMAL, VISIBLE, DURABLE, AND STACKABLE!

Hey friends! How are you all doing? Finally the lockdowns are getting opened. I can see the traffic on the road. And Traffic jams too. I still request you all that don't drive over speed. Though the roads are empty. But still it's not safe to drive over speed. I have seen many roadworks going on in many areas. But due to this heavy wind, the traffic cones were not at their places. We need something stable, Durable and visible. Designed as part of Render Weekly’s concept-creation sprints, Gary Clarke’s take at the traffic cone gives a stronger, classier take at the conical road-barricade. Most site visitors cones/barricade come either rotationally molded or injection-molded from plastic, while Clarke’s alternative makes use of bent metallic piping.

Made to be slightly large than conventional cones (for everyone who’s arguing that minimal cones would impact visibility), Clarke’s layout is tetrahedral and made of a unmarried pipe that’s bent and powder-covered in bright metallic orange earlier than being finished off with multiple stripes of reflective paint. Like most cones, those ones are stackable/nestable too. However fill the hole piping in with sand or gravel and you’ve got cones which can be also much more durable than their plastic counterparts, i.e., can withstand breakage, and can withstand strong winds too! 3M, Traffic safety store, auto quarterly and honeywell are the brands who manufactures traffic cone. But the redesign of them is really unique. This companies should break their stereotype manufacturing and should redesign the traffic cone. Read the full article

Enhance Road Safety with 1 Mtr Nestable Road Safety Barricade

Road safety is super important for everyone, whether you're walking or driving. One big part of keeping roads safe is using barricades right. Nestable barricades are special because they're easy to stack and store. Here's where Swift’s Nestable Barricade come into play—they serve as an essential first line of protection for our roads.

In this blog, we'll talk about what makes nestable barricades different, explain the 1-meter nestable road safety barricade, and share some tips to keep them in good shape.

Understanding Nestable Barricades:

Compared to other kinds of road safety barriers, nestable barricades can be stored and relocated more easily since they can be stacked neatly when not in use. Due to their low cost, small footprint, and ease of installation when necessary, they are ideal for roads, highways, and building sites.

1 Meter Nestable Road Safety Barricade:

The 1-meter nestable road safety barricade is a versatile tool for various events. It's small, easy to use, and perfect for tasks like marking lanes, managing crowds, and controlling temporary traffic. Nestable barricades are made of sturdy materials and provide exceptional weather resistance and durability, guaranteeing long-term performance in a variety of weather conditions.

Distinguishing Features:

Now, let's explore how nestable barricades differ from other road safety barricades:

1. Nesting Capability:- As mentioned earlier, the ability to nest or stack multiple barricades together sets nestable barricades apart. This feature streamlines storage and transportation logistics, making them more cost-effective and space-efficient compared to traditional barricades.

2. Lightweight Construction:- Nestable barricades are typically lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for easy handling and deployment by personnel. Their lightweight nature facilitates quick setup and removal, minimizing disruptions to traffic flow and construction activities

3. Modular Design:- Nestable barricades can be customised to fulfil standards and match your needs thanks to their interchangeable elements, which include reflective panels, lights, and signs. When necessary, they are easy to build and uninstall.

4. Interlocking Mechanism:- Nestable barricades have interlocking mechanisms that secure adjacent units together, creating a continuous barrier line. This special feature helps barricades stay strong and stops anyone from messing with them without permission.

Maintenance Tips:

Proper maintenance is essential to extend the product life and effectiveness of nestable road safety barricades. Here are some maintenance tips to consider:

1. Regular Inspection:- Regularly check your equipment for any damage or wear. Look at hinges, connectors, and reflective surfaces for any problems.

2. Cleaning:- Keep barricades clean by washing them regularly with soap and water. Get rid of dirt and stains to keep them easy to see and reflective.

3. Repair or Replace Damaged Parts:- Repair or replace any damaged parts to keep barricades strong. Also, switch out faded or broken reflective materials to make sure they're visible in the dark.

4. Store Properly:- When you're not using nestable barricades, keep them in a dry, well-ventilated spot away from sunlight and high temperatures. This keeps them in good shape for longer.

Conclusion:

Nestable barricades are a great way to manage traffic and make roadways safer. They are made to be strong, nestable, and long-lasting. They're ideal for events, maintenance, and construction. Taking good care of them means they'll work even better, making roads safer for everyone.
