Conquering the Emperor - Chapter 63

However, there were many scars on his arms, and they reminded me that regardless of how at ease Ren acted when he was with me, the man before me is one of the most notorious conquerors of our time. I didn’t know how many empires rose and fell at his hands…

“What are you thinking about? You’ve gone silent on me again…” Ren asked in a whisper, his eyes still closed.

“I…was just thinking that the battlefield is a very dangerous place…” I replied softly, while trying to keep my eyes away from his scars.

“Because of my scars?” Ren asked.

“…Yes,” I mumbled my reply.

“I’ll be fine. There’s no need for you to worry,” Ren said reassuringly as he reached up his hand and placed it on my cheek. His hand was wet and warm from the bath water, and it made me smile.

“Do you…like wars?” I asked hesitantly. I have always wondered why Ren seemed to be so involved in battles and wars even though he probably didn’t need to be.

“I do. The battlefield is where I belong. It’s where I feel most alive and I can feel my own blood pumping through my veins,” Ren replied without hesitation.

I wanted to come right out and tell him that he was crazy, but I couldn’t. I knew that the peaceful Ren that is currently by my side was just one side of him. There was another side to him that was aggressive, violent and blood thirsty that I haven’t had a glimpse of. However, what bothered me the most was…

“Isn’t it a little sad that the place you feel that you belong is the battlefield?” I asked in a small voice.

“How so? Isn’t it usual that we feel we belong in the place where we feel most useful? Just like you would feel better where you can treat patients rather than being cooped up here inside a beautiful palace…” Ren explained calmly.

His logic might be right but was there really no other place where Ren could feel like he belonged?

“Even so…I still wish that there was another place that you would feel like you belonged. You know, another place that isn’t the battlefield,” I said a little sadly.

“Maybe there will be…” Ren said softly before he took my hand and planted a kiss on the back of it.

After his warm lips left my hand, his hand caught my wrist in a tighter grip and began pulling on my arm.

“Wait! Ren!” I cried out in surprise at his sudden action.

Without a word, Ren stood up and wrapped his arms around my waist as he lifted me up, dragging me into the bathtub with him.

“My turn to bathe you now,” Ren said without a care for my cries of protests.

“No!” I squealed as I felt Ren’s hands tighten their hold on me.

Even though I tried to resist, it was useless. Ren pulled me towards the bathtub before standing up and lifting me into his arm. There was a loud splash when he dumped me into the warm water along with the clothes I had on and all.

I gasped in shock as the warm water enveloped my body. The clothes that I had on instantly felt heavier as it soaked up the water. This is such a disaster!

On the other hand, Ren was enjoying himself and his evil plan immensely. It was hard to believe that the man that was laughing so hard next to me in the bathtub right now is the same man that was usually so cold as the crown prince. Ren hugged me tightly against his body and I could feel the hardness of his muscles along my back.

“Let go. Why did you do that? Now I’m all wet…” I started complaining.

“You have to get wet when you bathe, don’t you?” Ren replied with an innocent smile as his hands started fumbling with my clothes.

I let out a soft moan when his hands parted my clothing and touched my naked breast before lightly cupping them. Ren sighed with satisfaction at the feel of my naked flesh in his hands. He nibbled on my earlobe before licking it teasingly with the tip of his wet tongue.

“Stop…teasing me…” I protested as I squirmed around in his arms.

“I’ll never let you go, Rin…” Ren whispered seductively in my ears, his tone was dead serious.

I stopped moving around in his arms at his words. What I thought were teasing words seemed to have a heavier and more serious meaning behind it than I had first initially thought. However, my chain of thought was interrupted when Ren’s hands started peeling off the wet layers of clothing from my body. Starting from my arm and then unwrapping me until I was completely naked.

“Don’t…look…” I muttered shyly as I tried to cover my nakedness with my hands.

“There’s no need to be so shy. I love seeing you naked,” Ren said with a small laugh.

Ren’s hand reached out and began caressing the sensitive spots on my body that he seemed to know so well. His hand stroked my shoulders before proceeding downwards, sliding down my back until his hands reached my waist. I sighed with pleasure as he hugged me tightly from behind before tracing his hands along the front of my stomach.

My heart began beating much faster than before and I was starting to moan at his seductive caresses. His hands moved up to caress and tease my naked womanly mounds. I bit my lower lip and moaned as my body grew weak. His large hands cupped and squeezed my breasts, pumping them together so hard that they lost their shape in his hands.

I felt the sensation of my hardened nipples brushing against the palm of his hand as he stimulated them. Letting out a louder moan, I thrusted my chest towards his hands as he began playing with the erect peaks of my breasts.

“Do you like how I touch you, Rin? Your nipples are so swollen and hard…” Ren whispered into my ear, causing my whole body to tremble at the sound of his seductive voice.
