Chapter 203: I Love You, Era.

***************

Chapter 202

"I love you."

She did not respond but the warmth he felt from her was enough to calm his racing heart. He was so scared right now. Never in his life had he known fear except for now and back then when he searched for her.

He did not know why they brought back that memory but now that it was here, he could only suffer this pain again.

"I love you so much Era. I love you for all the meaning that word connotes."

She felt like crying again. Not only he suffered. She also did. She was scared for him. She did not know what to do if he was gone. She did not think about it since but now that she did, it ached her heartbeat she would have not been able to see his face any longer of his annoying self and get mad at him.

In her rage and pain, she had gotten too used to him. He was in pain, she saw it in his eyes and in his words.

Everything was plain as day.

He had broken her but how he wished to mend her again with his painful love. Was she willing to accept it as that snf forgive him? Was she willing to allow such happen? Hadn’t she suffered much already?

Her mind fought with such battles with her heart but all her heart wanted was solace, comfort and happiness. For this moment she wanted to be weak and be his queen. She wanted and needed the comfort. If only he could give to her without pain.

"Era, my Era. I love you."

She bit down on her lower lip as she gazed into his teary eyes. Finding the courage deep within her, she moved closer to him and kissed him softly on his lips, allowing her kiss to linger on for some seconds.

His heart was elated at her small way of showing affection. She kissed him willingly. He was kissed of her own accord.

How long he had waited for it since that day. She finally did it.

She pulled away from his lips and with a bittersweet smile, she gazed into his eyes. "I am here. I am not leaving you," she assured him.

Whether or not she planned on staying in Etheria for the rest days of her life, she did not know. One thing she was sure of, was the fact that she did not want to see him go through all of that because of her again.

"You promise?"

"Yes."

"Even if I become overbearing and things happen beyond my control and you are hurt again?"

"I wish you would not hurt me again but if you do, I can only do the best thing. I won’t leave you but you would wish that I did. I would lock you out completely."

Even though it was a threat, he knew she would not fail in doing so."

"Then I would win your heart again as many times as I should. All I need you to know is for you to trust me. As long as I have your trusts, though things I do may not make sense to you, in time you would come to understand."

"Just never you hurt anyone I care about. Promise me that and I would trust you."

He pressed on her hand on his face again. "I promise you, my queen. Never would I hurt anyone you care about. You have my word."

"Fine. I can work with that." They had come to a compromise already. It was safe and better this way.

At least she was sure he would not attack anyone close to her and even when he finds out about Ora, he cannot do anything to her ever again.

This was the best bargain she could get for now. By and by she planned on getting more as she won his heart and from there get her revenge on all those who meant her ill.

"Thanks."

"Anytime." He let her hand drop to his chest id he moved back in, sensually claiming her lips while his hands went straight to her face to cup it in his hands as he appreciated her softness.

She reciprocated all that he gave, meeting him in so they could enjoy their kiss.

No longer was her resistance as much as before and he was glad. Just too glad that he opened up to her.

Leaning forward, he directed her body down again on the silk material as they resumed from where they had left off.

It was useless denying him the right to kiss her. To a large extent, his words were right and she belonged to him legally. Since she could not give him the other part of her body, she could let him do this sometimes and that was because she loved it too.

They spent the next couple of minutes making out until she was out of breath. Finally, he broke off and sat back up. "I know you may see me as crazy, Era but I am sorry. It is hard to control myself with you around."

"That is why you should see less of me, your grace."

"Your strikes are becoming more than expected Era." She lowered her head. Heaven knows that if he got what he wanted ad she ended up on his bed, her lips would give her away to anyone who saw her that something must have gone down between them.

It wasn’t bad though, it would prove to haters like Diona that she had the king’s love and her place was secured.

But that was not what bothered her. What bothered her was how long he could keep up? How long could she torture him until he was asking her to allow him to make love to her?

Would she be able to look him in the eyes then and deny him again? Would her heart have gone soft and want him the same way?

What about the fact that perhaps, he would put her in the mood with his sweet kisses and caresses until she was a mess in her head and went ahead with the flow.

Those were her thoughts anytime he mentioned his rule.
