Queen Era: The Monster I Love - Chapter 171

CHAPTER 170

“I am safe now,” Era finally responded. “You do not have to worry.”

Though there was hardly any emotion mixed in her tone, she reach up to his back and gently patted him there.

“Thanks.”

They pulled away later and she turned around, giving him some space.

“Umm, you should take care of that now. I would leave you be.”

“Don’t go just yet,” Vidor rushed to let out.

He just did not want to be alone. He wanted her with him and that was all he asked.

“But your…” Arrgh it was too embarrassing to say. She still recalled how it poked her in the belly a few seconds ago when they were pressed together.

If she had not known, well she didn’t because she felt him twitch and thought it was her mind.

If only she knew how well the over a bronze age-old man had waited years without doing this with a lady and now he gad that lady was Era, he couldn’t get enough of her just yet.

If only she would grant his secret desires and let him have her, every day and night, to hold, to touch, to kiss, to caress, to make love to and…

He shook his head, hoping to rid his mind of his thoughts if he wanted his hard-on to at least be a low-on.

“Don’t be shy. He would be yours one day.”

“Shameless.” Her blush only grew more and without being told she knew he was affecting her xoxo.

“Hahhaa.” He proceeded to adjust his trousers so his hard-on, wouldn’t be too visible and she wouldn’t get scared.

Not that it helped much but it did the trick. All the while, Era tried her best to look away and not be tempted to see what he was doing. Once done, he called her out to come to take a seat.

“Not looking doesn’t change the fact that he touched you, you know. Come and seat. I can’t have you stressed out after all that has happened.”

Obeying his words, she ignored his earlier statement and made her way with him to his couch as they both sat down.

About a minute after sitting, her eyes caught his injuries and she stood back up. Quickly he caught her hand, he was scared she would leave him.

“Relax. I only want to fetch a clean white cloth to clean your injury and tend to your wound.”

“Okay.”

Slowly he peeled his fingers off of her wrist, one at a time till all five were gone and she was free.

Her eyelids fluttered a bit as she shook her head. He was behaving like a little child scared to have his mommy taken away.

“I’ll be back.”

A couple of minutes passed before Era returned with everything she needed. Luckily she found the herbs she sent him to amongst his things and brought them out.

On getting to where he sat his eyes widened a bit when he saw her with the box but he masked his surprise, leaned back into the cushion and inhaled.

“Here we go. It is going to sting you and hurt.”

“Okay.”

With that, she placed the bowl of water and other materials on the table before they then went to sit down close to him, at the side where he was injured and lightly dipped the cloth into the water, then brought it out a bit wet towards his arm.

The second the cold water touched his injury, he sucked in a deep breath, enjoying the feeling it brought and ignoring the pain and sting.

She kept on with it, going slower than usual, careful not to hurt him. By the time she had finished cleaning around the surface of the wound and the wound itself, she kept the cloth aside, opened the herbal box she sent him and took some, then crushed it into further pieces before bringing her hand closer to his.

All the while he kept his eyes on her face, following her every move, down to how her brows furrowed and flexed, how she blinked sometimes, most times acting so careful that she withstood blinking.

All the care she showed, all the time, all the precise action, touched his heart more and more and he knew he had found her. Found the one he was cursed with.

‘If this is Vemini’s curse in action, then I willingly accept because I do not think I can live a life without her in it.’ Visit thought within him.

Yes, he was cursed which should be and thing but he got to fall in love with her and each time he was reminded of that love, it was more or less like he forgot the end of the curse.

All that mattered to him was her love and him cherishing her.

She finished applying the herbs and that was when she gazed up to look at him. She had been feeling his heated gaze on her face since but dared not to say anything, thinking it would all end and he can take his eyes elsewhere, but no matter how she moved, his gaze never faltered and looked elsewhere, rather it remained on her.

She could not take it anymore. Though the windows were open, she began to feel hot due to the uncomfortable stare he gave her.

“Do I have something on my face, your majesty? You have been starting.”

“No.” That was the last answer Era expected from him. Normally one would be embarrassed at being caught red-handed and either hide their face or do something to cover up but not Vidor.

Instead, his heated gaze remained glued on her, even more than before.

He was not hiding it, rather he was proudly showing her that he did so intentionally.

“Okay, why?” she paused in her work and looked back at him, their eyes meeting for a second before she looked away. Unlike him, she couldn’t hold his gaze due to her shyness.

Unfortunately for Era, the roles shifted and she was the one embarrassed.

“You are too beautiful to look away from.. I would rather appreciate your beauty than look elsewhere.”
