Chapter 232

Soon enough she whipped her head back up. Her body was obeying him and defying her.

All she wanted was to hold his face, run her hands through his hair and kissed him while his lips did more than awaken all her nerves.

"Aahhh..."

A pleasing smile formed on his lips as he looked up into her eyes. They were filled with equal need as his was. He wished time would stop still for him to capture this moment, memorize this look and never forget.

"You were jealous love," he kissed her and paused. "I am not for another woman. My heart belongs to only you." He kissed her again, this time from a different angle before breaking off.

"I love the fact that I got you jealous. It proves to me that I am winning over your heart bit by bit."

Her eyes narrowed at him. How could he? "What?"

"Hehhee... I got you. A part of you is scared I would leave you, am I right?" She did not answer him. "I am sorry." Era blinked.

He could see her confusion wash over her. "I am sorry love. Sorry about the time with Diona. I should never have let her into my room."

His eyes became sober and she could tell he was being genuine. "I know I must have hurt you back then with her. The truth was, I never had done anything to her and I would never do anything of this sort with her or any other woman."

"Are you sure?"

"I am. I promise you. I would never love another beside you and do not mind me. What we had, our intimate time together, I cherish more than you can ever imagine. I love you."

"Hmm, promise me. You won’t right?"

He pressed his forehead against hers and released her wrists while his fingers rubbed soothingly where he held her hand firmly. "I promise you, Era, Queen of Etheria. My love for you is pure and would be everlasting throughout all lifetimes."

It felt as though her heart was pumped full of water or blood, but right there, staring into the soulful eyes of her king, Era felt truly happy and complete.

Even though telling him how she felt was risky and a turf she was scared of entering, she opened her mouth, ready to tell him her heart.

"I..." her eyes watched his. Saw the yearning, the longing that words could not describe nor connate. A small smile formed on her lips as her brows creased a bit. "Your words mean a lot to me, Vidor."

He freed her hand, letting her move at will as she brought them to his face. Pressing his hand over hers, he showered her nose with kisses before watching her eyes for the words he wished to hear the most.

"I am sorry for getting mad at you. It still is hard for me to believe but... you were right. I did get jealous. And it can only mean one thing. Vidor I..."

He pressed his lips on hers, cutting her words off as he deepened the kiss.

For some seconds there she was stunned. She was about to confess how she felt when he interrupted her.

After some time, he stopped kissing her. His hand moved again to her forehead and began to stroke it gently. "You find it hard to say the words," Vidor mentioned.

"But I..."

"Shh... I do not want that, Era. You are still not sure about your feelings. I know you like me and I am okay with that. Until there comes the day when you can say those words to me without hesitation, then I won’t hear it. And when that day comes, I want you to scream it out to me."

"Vidor..."

"I love you deeply Era. You are more than just a queen to me. Without you, I have no reason to live on."

Her eyes burned in their sockets as the words he spoke replayed in her brain. Where in the world was she going to find an understanding person like him again?

She liked him so much and now she no longer doubted anything about him. His love, trust and all. She could see the human in him that no mortal being could see. He wasn’t a monster, he was a man who made wrong choices.

"I want to be more than a monster o you and a king. I want to be the one who makes your heart thud in your chest. I want to be the air you breathe, the thought that drifts you to sleep and the one that wakes you up each day."

Her lips pulled into a thin line, causing her cheeks to puff up. The smiles she had no control over were fully displayed on her face, illuminating his dark world.

"I want to be everything I can be for you. I want you to see me and my heart, how is it filled with love for you."

"I see it." She let out a soft laugh. "I see it, Vidor. I see it." The tears she had been fighting back suddenly broke free as did his.

"You sure? Cause I feel like I have not yelled it out enough. I want to scream into the heavens daily thanking them for this opportunity to love a genuine soul like you."

"Vidor..."

"Please tell it to me again and again when you finally say it," Vidor pleaded.

"I would say it now. Hehehe, I want to say it now."

Even though the tears flowed from their eyes in an endless stream, the laughter rode out, putting smiles on their faces.

At that moment, all of her inner doubts seemed to fade away. All of her endless sorrow, her pain, her resistance. His words, his actions, his pure thought broke down all of her defences.

Although a part of her told her she was going to regret it, she could not care. If it ever came to that, then she was willing to accept it.
