Chapter 65
Soph stood up as soon as the king walked in, she didn’t know what to expect but she definitely didn’t think he would walk fast to her, pull her into his arms, and immediately slam his lips on hers. That’s what he did. Not like she was complaining, she liked how forward he was with her and held on to him as they both kissed each other breathlessly.
“All day, all through the night yesterday, I thought of this, of coming back and having you again,”
He let out when they broke apart, while his hands were busy on her body, he pulled her shirt off and inhaled. She hadn’t bothered to wear a bra and the man liked her boobs a little too much.
“Aha, this is it, this is what I want to come back to every time,”
He whispered as he bent his head and took her nipple in his mouth while drawing her closer to him with his hand on her waist, she let out a moan as sweet shivers of pure pleasure shimmered through her, the fact that he wanted so much to come back to her made her feel powerful.
“You don’t know just what was going on in my head while I helped the people, I should feel guilt for having those thoughts while trying to help,”
He let out. he lifted his head and pressed a sweet kiss on her lips, Sophie wanted to know what happened and who he was helping but she wasn’t so sure if he would be open to telling her and she didn’t even have the chance to ask as he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom. He dumped her on the bed and no words were spoken between them for the next twenty minutes, just moans of pleasure filled the room. He must have been tired because, unlike the previous day, he fell asleep when they were done and she watched him for a long time before she fell asleep too. With him in the room with her, she was able to get a comfortable sleep, she woke up the next morning to his kisses and he made love to her. He didn’t have to leave early so after they took their bath, they shared the breakfast that Riley had brought for her and went back to bed, the king barely said anything and fell asleep, his tiredness got the best of him. She also fell asleep. When she finally opened her eyes, it was almost eleven a. m. Sophie turned to the king, she thought he would be sleeping but he was watching her. The stuff he talked about the previous night came to her mind again and she decided to ask him, if he decided not to tell her, she would not mind.
“My king,”
She whispered.
“Lancelot, Lance, babe, there are a lot of other ways my woman can call me, I am not the king right now, I am just Lance, a man who can’t get enough of you,”
He said. The way he said the words, made what they had seem more special than it was, made her want to wish for the impossible; she had to remind herself that it was all temporary and all about lust.
“Lance,”
“Oh, what a shame, I thought you would call me babe,”
He said and she shook her head. How is this the same man who can command a whole army and who has the power to declare war and end a person? Like he said, right now, he seemed like just a man, her man. She could at least say that because he referred to her as his woman.
“What did you want to ask me?”
He asked when she didn’t say a word.
“I wanted to know what you were doing outside the palace yesterday and you talked about helping people, who?”
She asked. She expected him to rebuke her and tell her to know her place but he sat up on the bed and regarded her with a look.
“The dam overflowed and a lot of people were affected, that’s what I spent the whole of last week fixing. I got a call that the relief materials that were stored for the affected people also got affected so I had to go there to make sure everything was okay, we worked throughout the night and the early hours of yesterday, everything is okay now,”
He explained. Sophie couldn’t say a word, she knew just how devastating disasters like that can be for the people affected, at least, they had a good king who was willing to help, not just help but also lend a hand.
“Why do you look like you are about to cry?”
He asked.
“Hormones, I get emotional easily,”
Sophie responded, wiping the tears that gathered in her eyes.
“No one was hurt, right?”
She asked.
“Yeah, thankfully,”
He responded. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her. The position was so intimate that for a moment, she let herself believe that for him, she was more than a fuck buddy, that he cared about her just as much as she cared about him.
“I like this, my whole life, I only had one friend, now I feel like you can be my friend too, my woman, my friend,”
Oh, if he keeps saying things like that to her, it would be so hard not to fall in love with him. At least she got her answer, he didn’t just see her as someone he bedded but as a friend too.
“I want to be your friend,”
She told him, and he smiled and pecked her on the lips.
“So? What were you telling me on the phone?”From NôvelDrama.Org.
He asked, reminding her of the call she had made earlier before he came.
“Right,”
Sophie said and removed herself from his arms and stood up from the bed, she needed to be away from him as much as possible to be able to talk without him touching her, she contemplated putting on a shirt but, in the end, she opted for just talking naked. If he wants to have her, he has to listen to what she has to say and agree first.
“Why do you need to leave the bed to talk to me?”
He protested. She refused to give in and let him manipulate her into coming back to the bed.
“That’s because I need a clear head to speak,”
“Really? A clear head while I suffer seeing you naked without being able to touch you? Come on Soph,”
He persuaded but she stood her ground.
“You didn’t have to buy me those things, I don’t need them, okay, I do need the TV but I was doing fine without one, the snacks and basic things are okay but the clothes? They are so expensive, please don’t gift me things like that,”
She told him. He didn’t even look like he was listening to what she was saying.
“Lance? You can’t go about giving me things and getting me a personal aid and bodyguard, don’t do those things for him,”
She added but he remained silent, she placed her hand on her waist and gave him a look.
