Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 138

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

CHAPTER 136

For some seconds she did not move, just allowed him to linger on her lips as he craved entrance but she never gave. His eyes fell shut the second he kissed her and after some time when she did not respond back, he opened his eyes only to have her watch him.

Smiling on her lips briefly, Vidor pulled back but did not let go of her head, still keeping her in place.

“Thank you,” he muttered to her and then finally he released her head and pulled back. Still, Era did not say anything. She still looked petrified like she had seen a ghost.

Twice had he kissed her without her consent but unlike the last, her brain somehow, remembering the first did not resist and allowed him to do that which he wanted.

Her brain recounted the chaste kiss, recalling the feel of his lips on hers, the softness she had failed to recall the last time and the sweetness even though dry for some reason.

Different feelings began to rise in her mind and body. Before long she had started to feel certain hotness move up her neck to her cheeks.

Her mind soon was in a frenzy. Different things plagued and once sure and brave mind. All it took to render her completely speechless was just one kiss, one that she barely responded to.

Looking at her, he let out another sigh. She was really making things difficult for him but could he blame himself? He and his wife were both virgins with no experience whatsoever.

For Era, it was particularly expected but for him, that wasn’t so much expected. Normally, she thought it would be normal for him considering his conquest if only she knew that her husband was just as naïve as her.

He took in a deep breath again, this time he reached for her hand and gently pressed on it while his eyes remained locked on hers, enjoying the divine pull he got from staring into those lovely jewels.

Sensing her shock, he began to have second thoughts on it. Perhaps what he did was wrong, kissing her without permission. He felt ladies loved it.

He would not know but seeing his generals sometimes have fun with ladies while they drank or celebrated and the way the girls giggled nonstop, seeking more, he thought that was the way.

Turns out, not all girls or only his queen did not like it or was it because she saw him as a monster?

‘I must be a sad example huh? Even my… she repulses at what I did. Who would love a monster king? I guess I was the one who had hoped in vain. I better make this right and forget this ever happened.’

His mind was made up. He was done trying. It broke his heart seeing her like that, confused or just out of it. He did not know whether it was fear he saw n those bright blue eyes or the shimmering of tears? Whichever it was, it did hurt him a lot.

“Era.” She did not move but her eyes blinked, an indication that she was listening to him. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done…”

Just before his sentence came out completely, she stood up, still not looking at him but looking more lost than before. “I should go.”

His heart skipped a beat as his own fear overwhelmed him. She was leaving. He could not bring his mind to accept that and it was because the last time she left, it took days before he set eyes on her and now, she was going.

Who knows just how long it would take for him to see her again? Quickly he stood up as well, his tall frame towering over hers, as he held her hand, stopping her from taking that step.

“Era please, do not go.”

“I can’t.”

“Please. What do you want me o do? Say it, name it. I would do anything just…” he shut his eyes.

Was this him? The almighty Vidor, reduced to this just to beg a woman who did not want him.

“Anything, please stay. Stay with me. It is all I ask. I won’t do that… I won’t kiss you again.” His voice fell at the last part. He so much wanted to kiss her again.

To taste how she tasted, feel the feeling of having his tongue n her mouth, wondering how crazy it felt judging from what he had seen.

And he wasn’t just doing that to know but because he was so attracted to her and had feelings for her. Never would he have wanted to do that with a female or anyone at that but her, it was different.

“I won’t if you do not want me to. Please stay,” Vidor pleaded again. “Please. I do not want to force you that I why I am begging you.”

At that time she did not just blink bit she allowed her gaze to lock on his. There was defiance in her eyes. She was tempted to do just that if he dared force her to stay but seeing the look of sadness in his own, she let out her own breath, then lowered her head.

“Would you?”

Not saying anything, she nodded her head and sat back down. “I won’t be here long, your majesty.”

‘Great, now she has gone back to that. I thought she was being free with me speaking calmly and a bit rudely?’ Vidor questioned in his mind but did not dare let it out so as not to anger her further.

Looking at her lovely face, a thought came to his mind, making him smile silently and hide it as best as he could. She did not wipe her lips clean, unlike the first time when he did it to her.

AT that moment he felt a sense of fulfilment and he even wanted to try his luck even more but recalling his promise, he sighed and scolded himself in his mind.

‘Me and my big mouth.’

Silently he watched as she took her lips into her mouth for some seconds before pulling it out and massaging it with the other.

She kept at it. For Era though, her mind had subconsciously brought back that feeling again and she wanted to feel it again, tats he did not notice what she was doing with her lips but someone else noticed it.

If he was alone, he was definitely going to scream his lungs out but he managed to control himself and keep his calm.

He did not want to freak her out and just watched.

Apparently, he was staring so much, that Era felt eyes on her and released her lips, she lowered her head.

“Umm, by the way,” he cleared his throat, wanting to change the topic at all cost to prevent her from being shy. “I am sorry about interrupting you earlier on but what did you say?”

“Huh?” Even she was out of it. Her mind was messed up now thanks to him.

“You know, about huh you want to come to see me. Why didn’t you though? I waited for my queen.”

“Huh.” She swallowed hard, then raised her head and looked at him. “Well, I did not want to bother your majesty. I believe you needed lots of rest.”

“Hmm, I appreciate the thought but considering as Jordan received much better attention, I thought you would have cared to show even a little bit to me.”

Her lips dropped. Was he really bringing that up? Did he forget what happened that day?

She was about getting mad at him and then she recalled that from his statement, it meant he really got injured that day without her knowing.

She closed her mouth again but did not say anything further. She was so tempted to call out his jealousy.

“Well, you still haven’t asked what illness I got or what made me stay in for days, my queen?”

Okay, he really needed to stop calling her that. Yes by all right she was his queen but it was different for Era.

Whenever he said that she clenched hard against her gown. What kind of queen was she to him when he could rid her of her people and family without thinking twice?

If he really counted her as one, wouldn’t he have asked and investigated some more rather than been so harsh with his judgment?

On Vidor’s account, he had his eyes on her whole body as he leaned back against the rest of the cushion watching her every move.

So he saw how she clenched on her gown when he called her my queen. He did not need a priest to tell him that she was still mad about the tragedy of the past and he would not blame her one bit.

If he was the one, he would be angry as well. She even got frustrated and was in so much pain that she wanted to kill herself.. It must have hurt her so much.
