Chapter 151

Xenia’s body was wracked in pleasure as he kept on moving, picking up the pace as if there was no need for her to rest. She felt like crying at the overwhelming stimuli. She was unaware that it was even possible to feel pleasure and pain simultaneously.

She clung onto him harder, losing herself completely over the pleasure she was being tortured with. And as he repeatedly thrust into her with the same need to extinguish the heat in his body, she felt like she was drowning the more she moved closer to him. The sounds of hips slapping against one another filled her ears, she couldn’t bear it any longer.

“It feels so good, my love,” Darius hummed. “You feel so perfect for me…”

She was going insane. Each deep thrust of his just made her mind fray, and she just knew that it would never end. There was no way Darius would stop now, not when every time he dug in and closed their bodies, her waist shook by itself and squeezed at his length as if to demand even more from him.

And right when she couldn’t stand the heat and stimulation any longer, she felt another wave of overwhelming pleasure coming out of her body. This time, however, as her body convulsed underneath him, she heard Darius groan loudly as he buried himself deep inside her. A rough exhale came from his lips, and she felt something lukewarm spread deep inside her belly.

“I love you, Xen…” Darius mumbled straight into her eyes. Her tears were rolling down her eyes now, and he licked them up as if he was savoring her emotions for him. “I love you so much… Oh, I’m so happy right now, Xen. Thank you…”

She was speechless. Her body was still trembling when Darius cuddled her close to his arms.

She tilted her head to have a better look at him, only to see that he was smiling widely as he basked in the afterglow. Seeing that, she couldn’t help herself but smile at him as well. She didn’t expect to hear those words from him. The exact same words she somehow wanted to hear from him.

“Do you really love me, or is it just because of the Mate Pull that you said that?” she asked, simply because she still couldn’t believe it.

Hearing her, Darius met her gaze with a reassuring smile. Touching her cheek with the back of his hand, he caressed her gently as he whispered, “I do love you, Xen. You don’t know how much, do you?”

“I… I just thought it was the Mate Pull…” she murmured with a low tone.

Darius frowned, “What made you think that way? While yes, the Mate Pull is strong, but without me falling in love with you like this, nothing would ever work out.”

He firmly explained, “I could’ve simply rejected the Mate Pull back then, but I didn’t. Especially when you were already promised to Nikolai, who I might add is like a brother to me. I wouldn’t have done all of this if I didn’t have strong feelings towards you, Xen.”

Xenia blinked at him, confused at what he just meant.

Darius let out a long sigh and explained further, “That day… When I recognized your scent as you entered the hall… When I found out that you’re Princess Xenia… that’s when I realized how much you already mean to me that I’m willing to go to war against my long-time ally just to have you. I’m a rational ruler. One that simply doesn’t let my emotions hinder my way and goals… That is until you came into my life.”

He then continued, “To be honest, I was glad that Nikolai accepted the Beholden Law. Because if he didn’t, I will have turned his kingdom upside down just to have you, secure in my arms.”

It was unexpected. Xenia’s heart was beating madly at his confession that she couldn’t help herself but move and plant a sweet kiss right on his lips.

“You do know that I’m being considerate right now, right? Knowing how fragile your body is against mine?” Darius teased with a light scoff. “Unfortunately, you just reignited the beast in me again with that wonderful and sweet kiss of yours.”

Xenia blushed hard as her eyes unknowingly trailed all over his bare chest. His skin glistened with a thin sheen of sweat from the light, his muscles flexing as he moved to see to her pleasure.

She gulped as she found herself enamored with the sight of his member, his already stiffening hardness waving at her as if asking for attention. It was amazing. Her eyes widened upon seeing how hard Darius was.

He chuckled at her dazed attention, and the next thing she knew, Darius sitting on the edge of the bed and pulling her up to straddle him.

“Come here. This is your fault for being too delicious,” Darius murmured throatily into her ear, making Xenia shiver. “Do it on top of me, my love, because I can’t promise that I’ll be able to control myself and be gentle if we do it my way. You’re still tight and sore…”

Not even waiting for her response, his free hand gripped her soft thighs, guiding her as he steadied her onto his lap. Xenia hesitated for a moment, but the moment he drew her in slowly with his mouth, all that hesitation faded.

“I want to be inside you and make you full again,” Darius hypnotizingly whispered against her chest. He scraped his teeth against her perked nubs, and she felt him rubbing his hard member against her petals, a touch that was teasingly light but made her ache for more all the same.

Needily, she snaked her arms around his head, her fingers running through his hair as she pulled him closer to her peaks for better access.

“Ahhh…” she groaned when Darius thrust upward and entered her until he was fully sheathed inside. She shuddered in pain and satisfaction, Darius guiding her hips as he pounded from below.

His hips thrusting in deeper strokes with force and intense pleasure, her inner walls scraped against his throbbing length, wreaking havoc on her nerves as she unknowingly rolled her hips in tandem with his.

It was never-ending. It was like she was possessed, and the coiling tension within her gut was proving to be too much for her to bear. She wanted to swallow him whole and devour the last inch of him as she kept on riding him, and she wouldn’t even care if it cost her her dignity.

“Xen… Mine…” he moaned against her ear.

She kissed him while she continued on riding him. He was filling her with want and satisfaction, and it only grew hotter the more he filled her to the brim. Faster and deeper… the two of them reached their pinnacle together. Darius filled her in as he promised, all while she clung to him tightly, crying at the overwhelming feeling of heat and fullness inside of her.

That was it. There was no way she would let this man go… “You’re mine…” Xenia weakly whispered into his ear before finally passing out of exhaustion.
