Survive As The Brute’s Wife - Chapter 121

“Let’s go somewhere more comfortable,” Maximus said as he got down from the tub holding her.

Leaving the warm blanket of hot water around her made her shiver and he grabbed the towel and wrapped her with it.

“Bed?” she asked with a naughty smile on her face.

She understood that her little dance moves inside the water has done something to him and he looked a bit… unnatural. And that somehow pleased her.

“Yes,” he said. His jaws were clenched and he looked very uncomfortable.

Alexandra wrapped her arm around his shoulder and leaned closer to his lips. He jerked his face away from her making her want to tease him more. She blew in his ear and he stopped walking and stared into her eyes.

“Stop it, Lexa… Just…” he rested his forehead on hers. “I want to please you… for a long time,” he said.

He might be filled with desires but in the department of giving in to carnal desires, he is as experienced as Alexandra. From what he knows, once he gets his fill and he releases, that’s it. That would be the end of it. He tried to find it in books to see how long it will take for him to get “needy” again, but he had no answer. And the position he is in as the Emperor of a great Empire forbade others from acting chummy with him.

He had no clue and he had no one he can ask to clear his doubts.

But he wanted to please her. He had a basic understanding that it takes a lot to please a woman.  And he wanted his woman to be very well pleased. She should  know how much he loves her.

And if that means he should postpone his pleasure, he will do it.

Alexandra didn’t understand what he meant other than that he is pleading. It is very important for him and so she kept to herself. There was a lot of distance between the bath area and the bedroom and she looked around to see the lights all dimmed down.

A gust of wind entered through the window and she heard the sound of bells from the distance. It was not an alarm bell but it heard as chimes.

“Those bells..?” she questioned him.

“It’s from the Temple,” he answered.

His eyes ended up at the window. The sky had darkened and the night breeze was so pleasant as it entered their room bringing in the scent of the flowers and the noise of the insects.

Remembering how she got scared thinking of her father, he pressed his lips. He was told that the Chief Priest of the main Temple on the mountains is here in this subsidiary temple that was built for the sole purpose of the Royals and the aristocrats of the city. He wanted to meet the priest to hear if he has anything interesting to say.

“Should we…” he looked at Alexandra. She was staring at the window and he saw her eyes flashing silver for a moment before turning back at him.

“I put a spell of concealment,” Alexandra pressed her lips as there was some uncertainty in her tone. “It won’t be that hard for him to break it if he wants to… But…” she smiled at him.

“Max, let’s start our life together.”

Yes, the spell she put might be strong for any human to break, but for her father, that is just an eggshell. With just a flick of his fingers, he can break it. But she trusted her mother’s words. Her mother summoned her using her sister to give her the blessings. She is not going to ruin this time together thinking about her father. She believed that her mother can take care of her father.

Maximus looked at her sapphire blue eyes twinkling. Her lips were full and red, her cheeks were blushed and her soft eyes were filled with love.

“Yes,” he said. “I’ve waited a long time for this…”

“Two lifetimes is a long time…” Alexandra held his cheek. “Let’s not wait any longer.”

Maximus walked to the bed and placed her on the bed. The towel was still around her and she stood up not minding the towel falling down. The towering man looking at her with his eyes filled with want for her, kept her enough warm.

He touched her enough some time ago and she now had the intense urge to touch him. Not minding his sword that was stiff as a rod, she placed her little hands on his abdomen. It was firm and the muscles of his abdomen were pronounced. She loved as her hand traveled along the uneven firm terrain. Her hands slowly reached to his pecs, gently massaging them. The guttural grunt he let out signified his enjoyment and that made her explore his body more. As she reached further up, the tight sinews of his shoulders and the strong neck muscles made her knees weak.

“Say it, Lexa…” he pulled her closer. She felt his stiff manhood on her abdomen as he pressed her waist onto him. He was not going to wait any longer.

His other hand held her cheek. “Say my name.”

Alexandra looked at his impeccable face. The candles were in a lower elevation and his chin cast a shadow over his face, and yet those eyes shone like molten gold. So bright like the eyes of a predator. The feeling of his strong arms touching her bare soft skin made her feel giddy with happiness.

She could sense that he needs the affirmation that she is giving herself to his soul and not his appearance. Whenever he asks her to say her name in these contexts, that is the affirmation he needs.

She truly didn’t care about his appearance. The soul residing inside is her Tubby’s soul. He is the same Tubby who dared not to live without her. This is the same Tubby who tried his best to stay by her side and protect her. This is also the stupid Tubby who failed to reveal what he truly felt to her in their last life.

When he agreed to her that he loves her in this life, she thought that it was just superficial. She thought just like Luke did, he could easily profess his love because he does not mean it. But now she knows the reason. Now she knows that Tubby had enough time to think about answering this question and he must have had enough regrets not telling her this their past life.

“Do you regret not confessing your love the last time, Tubby?” she asked. She wanted to hear from him. She wanted to feel more delighted.

His eyes misted. “I do. I regret it with my everything. When you asked about the kiss… If I… If only I…” he let out a deep sigh. “Would it have been different if I confessed, Coxcomb?” he asked. “Would you have accepted my love or would you have pushed me-”

Alexandra placed her fingers over his mouth. A lot would have been different had he told her that he loves her when she asked about it. But what’s done is done.

“Tubby, I love you,” she said. A layer of tears formed over her already watery eyes softening her countenance. “Let’s not dwell in the past and forget it. Let’s live our life and be happy now! Let’s-”

Before she finished, his lips crashed on hers. He pushed her on the bed and with a giggle, she fell on her back. his slender fingers trailed along her forearm and reached her hands to interlock with her fingers.

The muscular figure looming over her- the notorious brute, didn’t scare her. Not because she is the very powerful daughter of the Dragon King, but because he is the man of her hearts and because she saw the love dripping in his heart.

“Lexa…” he kissed her forehead. And his gentle kisses sprayed along her face and neck. He kissed every part of her body ever so gently and with everlasting passion that made her heart melt.

Maybe because the warmth the two exchanged on the bed made them blush, the candles in the room all melted away and still they lit up so that the couple that was exchanging their love through actions could see each other.

“Allow me, Lexa,” with his elbows resting beside her ears, and his back arched, he whispered in her ear.

“Yes,” she whimpered as the stiff sword that was pressing on her folds now soaked wet with the juices that were spilled from her core thanks to his titillating kisses and caresses.

He positioned himself properly at the mouth of her slippery cave of wonders and with the help of his hand, he slowly thrust himself in.

“Bear with me, Lexa…” he whispered in her ears as it was a little hard to slip in.

“Yes,” she bit her lower lips seeing the knowing smile on his lips.

[He knows this is my first time ever!]

Her heart pounded as he slowly got inside her. Just like a scabbard that was made for his sword, her insides fit him perfectly.

“We’re…”

Before he said something that would make her heart burst out of embarrassment and happiness, she kissed him.

He didn’t protest.. Holding her face gently, he kissed her as he started to move.
