Chapter 246

Vidor wasted no time in taking Era back to her chambers, ignoring the congratulatory message from their ministers and other attendants along the way.

Upon arrival, he shut the door but not before giving his directions on the meals and desserts he wanted to one of his guards.

He wanted a long night with his queen and what better way than to have it together, and alone in the room?

"Vidor, why are you so rou..." He pulled her hand cutting her sentence and drawing her body to him as he wrapped his hand on her waist.

Several thoughts echoed in her mind at that moment but she dared not speak. Rather all she could put her finger on was the fact that perhaps she had played the overly eager card too much and now, he wanted her.

His lust erupted from deep within, brimming with passion on another level. "I never knew my naïve and innocent queen could rile me up so much that I would want to make love to her so bad.

Era’s eyes flew wide open. Indeed he had got the wrong idea. She did all of that to save her sister from his hands but how was she to tell him that?

"What? Outside you played the hard and bold girl front and now your boldness had been forgotten along the way?"

She lowered her gaze so much to avoid his suspicions. "That is not it. It is just I wanted to be alone with you."

"And you got that wish granted. Who knew you could be so eager?" His lips found hers, again, kissing her deeply, while Era felt weak suddenly in the head and knees.

To her surprise, his hand held unto the sceptre in her hand and took it from her. While his other reached up and took off her crown.

"You won’t be needing this for what I have in store for you."

He broke apart from her and walked over to her working table and dropped them there, laying his crown and sword beside hers too. "Come my love."

Obediently, she lowered her head and slowly made her way to where he was. "Better. Now lift your head, let me see those beady lovely eyes of yours."

"Vidor..."

"What? Do I make you speechless, my love?" She nodded her head. "Why?"

"I do not know. I just..."

"You know I cannot get enough of you?" He cut in quickly. "Each time I see you I want to just keep pleasing you and making you happy."

Her cheeks puffed up quickly. It was not every time she got such a compliment from her husband and she was happy.

"Would it be wrong of me if I said, I wanted you now?" She whipped her head up in shock. Her heart already thudding at a much faster rate than it had before.

Seeing the shock and hesitation in her eyes a sad smile worked his way to his eyes.

"It is okay. You are not ready. I wouldn’t want to force myself on you and add to the traumatic experience I have already caused you."

To say Era was ashamed of herself was an understatement. Reason being that she loved him.

At least that fact was established and she was rightfully, lawfully wedded to this man. So what was her delay still about?

If there was anything, she knew he would not hurt her but...

There was a but hidden deep within her that she could not fathom. A part that was scared, not of the past now, but of the future.

What would life be like after this? How could she be able to cope? Should anything happen to make him doubt her and not trust her, how broken could she be?

Was opening up to him a mistake?

"Era? Era, I am sorry. Forget I ever said anything to you," Vidor apologized. He did not want to rush her as he had said earlier.

And although he was a man, he felt it was no excuse to go against what a woman wanted. Funny, how that was not his principle in war but here he was acting in that manner for a single woman.

"You stole my heart, Era. Thank you." Her brows creased, raising up a bit as she brought her eyes up to meet his. "Thank you for loving me back, my queen."

"I cannot accept your thanks," Era finalized in her mind and heart and voiced it out.

He paused briefly. He had not expected such a response from her. "Why?"

"Not when I am not fulfilling my roles. Even your people expect an heir but here I am cowering behind my past and hindering my future."

"Era no. That is not true. Everyone needs time in their own way as well. I was pushy, not you."

Her smile brightened as she reached for his face and rubbed her thumb against his cheek softly. "You have been kind to me, Vidor."

"As should be. I do not require anything in turn."

"No. But I require that I give something in return. And this is all I have." She blinked at him. He could tell how nervous she was from her shaky hand on his face.

Although she tried to put on a brave front she was still scared somewhat. Pulling him out of his imagination, Era let her hand slide down from his face and quickly found its way behind her to her zipper.

Luckily for her, Vidor had them make the cloth in a simple fashion, not to be burdened with ropes to hold the gown and her breast firmly.

It was laced with a zip behind and several designs to beautify the front. Something told her, he had hope and had plans for tonight he chose something easy.

No sooner had she thought of that than her gown fell off her arm and down to the ground.

His eyes widened when they made contact with her sexy lingerie under. It was a fishnet see-through inner wear, hugging tightly to her stomach, bushing her breast up in her red lacy bra.

She had a similar lacy material for her undies, with nice transparent soft net leggings inside.

He spent the next few minutes slowly admiring her from head to toe. He told Aeverie to prepare her for the day. Turns out the old lady knew what she was doing so well and she prepared her way more than expected.

"Like what you see?" She asked with a quivering sexy voice.

"Sure. I do not like what I see." He brought his gaze back to hers. "I love what I see."

"Then would you do the honours?" As much as he wanted her, all it took to snap his brain back to what he had said earlier were those words she said.

"My mighty queen owes no one any favour. And I would not want to make love to you on the basis of duty but because our hearts both yearns for it, my love."

"So you do not want me?"

"If you say it that way, it sounds bad because I want you, Era. I want to devour every inch of your body bit by bit and leave you begging for more."
