Chapter 293: Creeping Fears

’Is it just me or this feels so much better than usual?’ Arabella searched her husband’s eyes when they broke apart and found that they were feeling the same.

[The sensations are ten times better than usual. No even more.]

Ferdinand hadn’t been in his original body since he first went to Valeria so this was the first time he was back.

Her husband seemed like an impatient person to most but he had been this patient all these years. He didn’t go back to his original body even once and just did his job as an Emperor in Valeria.

Ferdinand realized that he had gotten too used to the sensations he could feel in his human body and forgot that his original body was so much more sensitive to everything.

’But why does everything feel so much better for me too? Is it because we’ve gotten much closer? Was it because he had finally told me about Estrella and lots of his secrets?’

Or does she like Ferdinand’s real body this much? He somehow feels warmer and more possessive in this body of his.

"If you look into my eyes this closely, I’m going to misunderstand. Or are you seducing me?" Ferdinand asked with a familiar glint in his eyes.

"I-I wasn’t!" Arabella felt heat rise to her face. She was getting goosebumps just at the way he was looking at her. She could feel much more desire radiating from him.

[I was just kidding. Who knew she would react this cutely? Her face is flushed.] Ferdinand lightly chuckled and wrapped his arms tighter around her waist.

’Since when did he learn to kid around?’

"You were the one who stared at me so closely first. I was just wondering what you were thinking about," Arabella countered.

"You were? It would be bad if you knew what I’m thinking about," Ferdinand said with a serious look and Arabella flinched.

"Why would it be so bad? Is there something more I shouldn’t know?"

Would he be angry if he knew she had been able to listen and see his thoughts all this time?

"Yes. It would be bad if you knew just how much I think about you," it was Ferdinand’s turn to look embarrassed this time. His ears were red.

[She would know just how much of a pervert I am. I think about being intimate with her all time. She might be horrified if she knows I fantasize about all sorts of things even now.]

Arabella blushed. Right now, in the depths of his mind, Ferdinand wanted to push her against the wall or the couch and ravage her. He was fantasizing about going all the way right here.

She already knew about his tendencies to be like this. For several months now. And she had even gotten a bit used to Ferdinand thinking about naughty stuff quite often.

She could even ignore them now and act like she had no clue what he was thinking about.

But it was still quite hard when his thoughts gets too specific just like how he was thinking of doing her in various positions right now.

And it was especially hard when he thinks about her in lewd ways during meal times. But she was beginning to get used to it as well.

It’s not like her mind doesn’t wander every now and then as well. When she realized she liked him a lot now, she began thinking about him more.

She also had times she suddenly recalls how hot he was in bed and begin to have naughty thoughts.

Ferdinand’s thoughts were just too specific and detailed compared to hers.

"Who knows? Isn’t it good that you are thinking about me? I think about you a lot too," Arabella smiled and Ferdinand turned red.

[If she says things like this, I would interpret it the way I want. What if I conclude she’s thinking about me longingly too? She probably believes I am thinking of her in a pure way. But my desires and urges had been getting stronger and stronger the more we get intimate. She’s doing her best to satisfy me and I love it. I enjoyed it all so much, but the more we get intimate, the hungrier and thirstier I get. I sometimes wonder if there is no end to this longing, this dizzying desire to always hold her in my arms.]

’My efforts are in vain?’ Arabella blinked repeatedly. She thought she had been satisfying him even for a bit. But she wasn’t making any progress at all? Was that it?

’No, no, no. Ferdinand looks elated every time I do something for him. It’s working.’

Her husband just never spent any time with a lady for a really long while so his urges and desires are so strong.

And could she be full of herself and think it was simply because his desire for her was simply too strong because he loved her that much?

’Some of his memories were destroyed so he cannot recall them,’ Arabella suddenly wondered if he had actually been intimate with ladies before. Maybe he even got married in the past but forgot about it due to the destructive hibernation.

She flinched when her chest tightened.

’What the hell? How funny. Did I just get somewhat jealous of something I am not even sure existed?’

Even if Ferdinand had slept with tons of ladies in the past and even got married, it doesn’t matter now. It was all in the past. The least she could do was accept him and his past.

But it would be quite weird if someone suddenly approached her and called her stepmother.

The mere thought made her shiver.

She never thought of Ferdinand having a child with another woman despite knowing he had lived far longer than she did.

But what if he did in the past but forgot? He had lived an awfully long life after all and 10,000 worth of memories or even more was destroyed by his hibernation.
