Chapter 102 - I Want You

¤●¤

I groaned, snuggling more on the soft fluffy bed. It felt so soft and pleasant just like my dream, my dream of Cedric coming back and professing his love to me, leading to a passionate time between us, if only it was real.

A fresh scent filled my nose, I smiled as my body felt a rush of shook, it was a tingling sensation and I loved it.

"Cedric," I moaned with a smile against my lips knowing who it belonged to.

"Yes my love"

At his luxurious voice, my eyes snapped open, and I sat up with wide eyes. Cedric was before me in the same bed, wasn't all that a dream? But then I recalled everything that happened yesterday. How silly of me. My gaze lowered to his bare chest barely covered from the robe he wore to abs, dear gods how well sculpted it was, and his broad chest I couldn't get a good look at with that damn robe on, it was smooth and pale, a shiny look to it, I wondered how it would feel if I ran my hands on it, or my tongue, I shock my head at that shameless thought.

"What startled you?"

My gaze fell on his, and I was locked in his green eyes, it was almost like I could see a hint of yellow in them making them a bit of yellowish-green. How wondrous can someone's eyes be?

"I-I thought it was a dream," I said in a whisper. "Everything that happened"

He must have understood what I meant because he made a hmm sound in amusement. "Is that so?" he mused leaning towards me. "I assure you what happened yesterday was not a dream," he said drawing me close to him with a hand on my waist, he shift some strand of my hair behind my ear, and then his eyes fell sad.

"I'm so sorry about Olivia".

My chest suddenly felt heavy, I looked away.

"She was a good girl to you, you cared for her"

"Yes," I said in a heavy tone, he placed a hand beneath my chin so that I can look at him.

"It's alright now, I'm here, I will find out who did such cruelty to her," he said with a hint of venom laced in his tone.

It was like a weight was lifted from my chest. Was this really happening? I still couldn't wrap my head around it, I didn't say anything as I snuggled close to him placing my head on his chest, I thought he might hesitate but he wrapped his arms around me in a loving embrace, I felt safe in his arms, I felt like I was shielded from all the dangers in the world. I felt in the right place, where I should be.

I pulled away meeting his eyes, I will never get used to this enthralling color, no wonder it was my favorite.

"I love you too," I said without a second thought, I realized I didn't say it back to him, there was no more running from my feelings anymore, this was me facing all my heart desires right now, I wanted to be with him... to be by his side.

A smile curled up his lips and it took my breath away, he leaned down as we were mere inches away, he brushed his nose on mine. "And I love you too"

I smiled. "Why do you always do that?"

"Do what?", he brushed his nose on mine again, I giggled. "That"

"Because you taught me"

I blinked, I did? But I have no recollection of any of that, so how come?

"Sylvia" he began. "I shall see the Emperor today, I didn't need to but it's the laws of mortals it seems"

"Hmm?"

"Have you forgotten, I shall no longer marry Princess Alice, that is what you want isn't it?"

"Yes but..." I bit my bottom lip. "I said that out of selfishness, it's not that I agreed to it but the Emperor wanted peace, I mean if the marriage is broken then -"

He placed a finger on my lip as I could speak no more. "I will handle it, there's no need to worry"

I want to ask, how? But he left no room for question, was he really gonna do this?

"Trust me" he adds. "Although you didn't do a great job the first time, but I will let it slide"

I punched his chest but it wasn't that much hard effort, he chuckled at my action.

"You were going to marry another woman when you have me as a wife!" I fired.

He took my hand kissing my knuckles. "I had to, there was a reason for it"

"Whatever reason is that?"

He smiled leaning as his lips brushed against mine softly, I closed my eyes kissing him back, it was slow and sensual, just our lips moving in perfect sync, I wrapped my arms around his neck as the kiss deepened, I moaned when he hoists me on his lap, the parting of my legs, the action cause me to sit on his length, harden. I groaned, grinding my waist on it.

I felt his chest vibrate from a deep growl, I broke the kiss staring at him, his eyes were pitch black now, and there were dark veins beneath them moving, I wasn't afraid or startled as my thumbs rubbed on his cheek.

"I want you," I said softly. He trailed kisses to my neck. "I'm all yours," he said in between kisses.

I grind my hips again on his length, I moaned imagining how it would feel if he was inside me, I gasp when it hoisted up just right at my entrance. Another animalistic growl except for Cedric once again and the next thing I knew my back slammed the soft mattress.

"Do not tempt me, wife" he murmured in my neck. That was the point, I want to keep tempting him because I wanted him, ALL of him.

"Make love to me" I whispered in his ear, he hoist up to his knees, staring at me like a meal ready for him to eat, it only just made me excited and my core ached.

A wicked smirk crossed his lips. "Not in this body, my love"
