Rose's Chamber
Rose POV
"Is this how a bride welcomes her future husband here in Liliac princess..?"
I could tell this was more amusing to him that I thought. He was enjoying this way too much. The boyish smile on his face was saying it all. I never thought I would see him smile, but he looked so pretty that it send a huge butterfly rush in my stomach.
I realized I was staring at him more than that is decent. I quickly looked down, but I realized he noticed it as his smile grew wider.
Ah! That smile again, I felt my cheeks getting warmer.
"W-What do you mean?" I asked timidly or probably shyly, I wasn't sure. When I didn't heard him say anything for long, I looked up to meet his stare, all flushed.
He was staring at me so intensly that I almost lost my footing. I straightened up my back a little and cleared my throat to gain his attention back to talking. He finally tore his gaze away from me, and pointed to my hand with a nod from his neck.
In all the rush, I almost forget I was still holding the lamp upside down.
I swear I would have thrown the lamp on the ground right away if he wasn't watching me with the amused look back in eyes.
I slowly moved towards the bedside table on the right side of him. Reaching out with my hand, I tried to place it on the table, maintaining as much gap from him, but he was close enough for me smell his yummy scent. For a second his scent made my head dizzy and I lost my grip on the lamp.
The lamp would have shattered if not for his hand catching it right away.
"There there careful princess.."
Our hands brushed as I tried to take it from him. A jolt of electricity surged through me when my skin contacted his. I guess he felt he too with the way we both springed up to stare at each other. His eyes. They were charcoal black but I'f seen clearly they had specks on dark blue on the sides, that shone when he stared at me.
Finally placing the lamp on the table, I spoke "I'm not a princess, King Lazarus. I am the daughter of the General of the kingdom."
"You are always gonna be a princess, Rose. My princess."
Rose.xxxx stopped working.
I swear that my heart skipped couple of beats on his words. I know I'd be blushing like hell. My whole body felt like I was on fire, with another butterfly rush in my stomach.
"K-King-" I stuttered. " No, not that. Call me by my name, princess." I looked up at him wide eyed and visibly flushed with my cheeks beetroot red.
His stare was expectant, as if he was reliving a moment. Before I had the time to stop myself I whispered, "Lax"
I didn't know why but his eyes visibly darkened by the nickname I gave him. He crossed the little space between us. With his one hand on back of my head and one on my waist pulling me close to him, "Say that word again, Rose." He demanded. I know his voice meant no room for discussion, but I couldn't. His closeness deeply affected me. I couldn't make my brain to work. Being in his arms like this excited my whole body, but felt so right at the same time. I couldn't. I was so lost in his pleasurable touch that I couldn't even decipher what he said after that.
Pulling me face closer to his with our nose touching, he tucked the strand of my hair behind my ear. Cupping my cheeks, he whispered near my lips, softly this time "Say my name with that sweet mouth of yours again, sweetheart." "Lax" I whispered sensually with our breaths mingled together.
That was all before his lips came down on mine, so soft, delicate but greedy and hungry at the same time. He kissed me like he has been waiting for years. Like he found me after decades of longing and now he can't stop himself anymore. I felt his control slipping as his arms tightened on my waist pulling me impossibly closer to him. Shyly at first, I slowly reached out to kiss him back with my hands moving to his hair. He groaned out loud, when he felt me kissing him back.
"Just like that, baby" he uttered faintly between our continous kissing. His tongue slipped out of his mouth and slowly made it way to inside of my mouth-
A hard knock on my door interrupted us. Selena's rough voice came from the other side, "I heard a groan, are you alright Rose?" "I'm fine" I replied almost breathlessly.
Taking a few deep breaths, I calmed my nerves down and replied again, this time in a form and more stronger voice, "I'm fine Selena. It was nothing. Let me sleep, Good Night."
Few seconds more and then I heard retreating footsteps. "She's gone." I turned my head back to the source of the sound. I blushed furiously as I remembered our first hot kiss. He looked equally messed up as I was if not more. His hair falling messily on his forehead, cheeks and ears flushed and his lips swollen. His chest heaving up and down as he took deep breaths looking at me spellbound. Fascinatingly, his deep black eyes now had a tint of red on the sidelines except for the dark blue. I know I won't be looking better either remembering how he had his fingers in my hair.
This was the infamous Dark Lord, holding me like his life depended on it. I reached out and gave a kiss on his cheek to let him know that I accept him as my husband and don't give a shit about the baseless rumors about him. His ears turned red on my display of affection as I giggled in his arms.
Being in his arms like this felt heaven.
I knew at that moment that I was so in love with him. The Dark Lord.
