Survive As The Brute’s Wife - Chapter 109

Marcus knew at his age, the best offer he could get is a squire to a Knight, and not a Knight himself. And that too with a fancy name like a Paladin. He was surprised the one he was waiting for, gives him this honor without any reservation.

There should be more to it. Otherwise, there is no reason for someone so powerful to accept a novice like him as a Paladin. She might want to use him and she might end up hurting him to get what she wants.

But this is the first time he is getting without his father’s interference, just for who he is. It made him happy.

He bowed his head with reverence. “Thank you, Your Highness!” his voice couldn’t hide his joy.

“Yes, that’s great,” Alexandra stretched herself.  “I got myself a personal knight… so I won’t need Julius to watch over me anymore…” she looked at Maximus and he gritted his teeth.

«Was this her plan all along? Or… There might be more to it… But why?»

Maximus looked at her keenly to see if she is willing to talk to him about it, but she was keen on other things as it appeared. She had left him alone on the watchtower and wrapping her hand around that boy’s shoulders, she was walking down the circular stairs.

«What happened to our exploration?»

Suddenly Maximus had one more reason to hate Marcus. He sprinted on the stairs, grabbed her hand that was around Marcus’ shoulder, picked her up, and rushed to the Peony bedroom.

They have no time to waste.

“Marcus, oversee the preparation of food for me,” Alexandra said burying her face in his shoulder.

She understood why Maximus brought her here. It was not for talking about his childhood. It was for consummating their marriage. And thinking about that, and with certain images she once saw on a book popping in her brain, she started feeling shy. And she remembered Maximus’ behavior with her ever since they got bound by the Aion Stone.

He has become a predator and she wanted to run away.

She had those instincts too. To rip away his clothes and sink herself in his embrace, letting him do what he pleases with her. But she still was shy.

She thought with a little boy here, he would hold back and change his plans. She thought wrong.

“Oww!” she winced as he pinched her thigh. “That hurts!”

“Naughty Lexa… trying to escape…” he bit her earlobe only for her to giggle. “I am not stopping if everyone stood by the bed and watch us,” he spoke gritting his teeth. He let out an animalistic grunt sniffing her hair. “Have you wondered how long I am waiting for this?”

“Waiting for what?” Alexandra wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned closer to his face.

“To make you mine.”

He looked at her and his predatory eyes now glimmered red. She felt his mana getting uncontrollably strong signifying he is losing his control. It would usually not end up well for those around them and since there is no one near them, he can lose control, all he wants.

She can manage him, after all.

That big wooden door slammed open with a creek as Maximus got near it. She sensed his aura filling up the room.

[He’s not going to close the door?]

Alexandra flicked her finger and the door closed softly and she even pulled the latch. This is going to be the first time she is alone with a man to have coitus, in her life, which almost spans almost a thousand years. Her heart started to beat in her throat out of nervousness.

[How would it feel like? Will it hurt? Or will it make me feel ecstasy? What if I do something wrong? What if I hurt him somehow and make him feel bad?]

Maximus placed her on the bed and she turned to look at him. She could feel her face burning and she knew he enjoys seeing her flushed face.

As she watched, he removed each article of clothing with just a swift pull of his nimble fingers. As his skin got exposed little with him untying the knot on his shirt, she felt a feeling which she has familiarized with these days rising in her stomach. She stood up and walked to him.

She couldn’t sit still anymore.

“I’ll~” she cleared her throat as it went dry. “I’ll help,” she said and he let go of the tie and extended his hands.

Alexandra’s reached his chiseled chest with her fingertips that were cold out of nervousness.

He hissed as her finger grazed on his chest, held her hand that lingered over his collarbone, and pulled her closer. Her chest slammed on his rock-hard chest. As she looked up, his golden eyes met her eyes making her heartbeat quicken some more. His breath fell on her face and she bowed her head and tried to find refuge in his neck.

She let out a long breath as he started to kiss her hand. His soft, warm lips peppered kisses on her hand sharing his warmth with her. He then pressed her hand on his chest.

“Continue…” he said and kissed the top of her head.

Alexandra nodded and pulled back. his hand ended up on her hair and undid her braids as she slowly removed his shirt. She placed her hands on his shoulders and felt his tense muscles. It made her chest tighten.

[To have this chest to…over me and…]

Alexandra’s lips twitched as tried to control her happiness as she thought of Maximus over her.

“Will you let another woman touch you like this, Max?” she asked slowly rubbing his chest.

This feeling… this excitement … his body… it should be hers alone. She cannot share him with another woman. He did say he has a lot of wives.

As she remembered that fact, her hands paused moving and she pressed her lips. The bitterness she feels in her throat – she didn’t like feeling this way, but she couldn’t help it.

“Did you let another woman touch you…this way?”

Maximus let go of her hair. His slender fingers grabbed her chin. She bowed her head unwilling to look at him.

A gust of wind blew in through the open windows bellowing the curtains. An ominous coldness spread in the room as mist rose from the floor. Thick rain clouds surrounded the stone mansion and thunders started to roll in the distance.

“You have… you have been with~” her voice started to shake and her vision got clouded as tears formed in her eyes.

She had no idea why that thought came to her mind, but she was sure she has seen him with another woman. A woman he married and had a child with. But Tubby never married. And so it must be Maximus.

Maximus could see the temperature around them dropping considerably. He knew it is her doing. And she is stating that he has been with some other woman. Or it could be just plain jealousy.

“No, Lexa… I’ve never been with anyone…” he made her look at him and his heart sank seeing her reddened eyes.

Everything was fine some moments ago and she had the same hunger he had. But then this sudden coldness made him feel helpless.

“My love!” he kissed her. “I would never hurt you… You know me…” he rubbed her back.

“Max…” Alexandra heard the pain in his voice and pressed her hands on his cheek. “I am sorry! I know you would never hurt me. I am sorry…” the tears that were hanging by the rims of her eyes slipped down seeing his pain. “I don’t know what came over me to…”

“You’re jealous, silly…” he bent and wrapped his arms around her waist. Lifting her, he spun around, “My jealous Lexa! I love only you!” he shouted.

Alexandra threw her head back and started laughing. She wasn’t sure that it was pure jealousy and she felt real pain in her chest, but she was acting silly to bring that up now. She should be enjoying his embrace now than thinking about silly things.

The mist around them cleared and the brightness and warmth returned to the room.

She looked down as he stopped spinning. Although he said nothing, she could see it in his eyes. She heard his eyes talking. “Shall we continue?”

She bent and kissed him.

Before she knew it, she was on the bed, lying on her belly. Maximus was removing the ties of the corset at her back. She could feel the pressure around her chest loosening and the corset came off. He picked it up and threw it on the floor among the other clothes. The loose chemise she was wearing is the only thing that is standing between him and her as he had already removed all of the articles of her clothing.

She felt the bed sinking beside her waist and she hugged the pillow closer, still lying on her belly. She closed her eyes as she felt his stong scent engulfing her and his warm breath caressed her earlobe. Her breathing got heavy anticipating the contact of his lips.

“Lexa…” he whispered in her ears and kissed the nape of her neck. “look at me…”

“Mmm…” her voice came out as a whimper and digging her fingers in the pillow, she turned and looked at him.

“Be mine…”
