The Cursed King - Chapter 244

“Are you comfortable?”

Elise batted her eyes at this question. She was still dazed at the fact that her husband was now staying in her chamber and was ready to sleep on her bed, next to her. It felt surreal. Usually, he was only here to complain about his headache and then left to sleep in his own chamber.

Now he really would sleep here until morning?

She held her breath and couldn’t immediately reply, which made Loriel feel worried.

“Is something wrong?” the man asked.

Elise finally found her voice and shook her head. “N-no… I’m fine.”

“Are you comfortable?” Loriel repeated his question. “Zaff told me pregnant women will experience a lot of discomforts. You must let me know if there is anything you need, to make your pregnancy more comfortable.”

Elise bit her lip and tried hard to hold back her forming tears. Her husband seemed to care so much about her baby. This was such a wonderful thing.

She was glad she got pregnant immediately. Loriel really showed that he would be a good husband to her. It’s okay if he had not loved her at this moment, Elise believed his love would grow.

Deep inside, she was grateful. Her husband didn’t love her but he treated her well, paid attention to her need, and on the rare occasion that he messed up by saying things that hurt her feeling.. they were not done out of bad intention. He just didn’t know that those words hurt her.

Also… Elise’s pregnancy hormones were crazy and her mood swing was the worst. Some of his words were actually not hurtful in a normal situation. She was just being extremely sensitive.

Like yesterday, he was only joking about not wanting Elise to go through his stuff. The proof was today he brought all his stuff to her chamber. So, she really didn’t mind. It was just a joke uttered in bad timing.

If Loriel could treat her well even though he was not in love with her, Elise imagined her husband would treat her even better than this when his love for her finally grew.

She couldn’t wait for that day to come.

Elise shook her head. “No… I’m fine. Thank you.”

“Okay.” Loriel looked relieved. “Then, we better sleep now.”

He took off his shirt and folded it nicely. He put it on the table next to the bed and then he got ready to take off his pants. He only slept with his underpants because it was more comfortable that way.

Elise’s eyes bulged when she realized Loriel would sleep with her, half-naked. She swallowed and looked the other way.

Ahh… the memory from their consummation immediately filled her mind. Her cheeks flushed red. She was already in her nightgown without wearing anything underneath, ready for bed. Yet, suddenly she felt like she was naked.

She couldn’t stop her brain from thinking about the time when Loriel kissed her, fondled her breasts, and penetrated her from several different positions. They all felt so good.

Uff… Elise cupped her face with both hands to hide her embarrassment. She hoped Loriel didn’t see it.

“Come on, get on the bed,” Loriel ordered. He already climbed the bed and made a big room for Elise beside him. “You should rest aplenty.”

Elise nodded weakly and went to bed. She waved her hand and all the candles but one were turned off. The chamber was dimly lit, perfect for sleeping.

Loriel noticed her awkward attitude and furrowed his brows.

“We have slept together before. I have seen you naked, and you have seen me naked too. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed at seeing your own husband’s body,” he said as a matter of factly.

Elise didn’t reply. She was shy. It was true that they had had sex, but it was only a few times, in a span of one day… They had not done it again for months because Loriel was away.

And now Elise was pregnant. Even if she wished he would have sex with her again, he might not want to do it because the objective had been achieved.

He slept with her to get an heir. And it was Elise’s duty as a wife, also as the queen of this country, to produce a son for her husband.

Now, there was no more duty to do. She shouldn’t even think about being intimate with him again.

She lay down beside Loriel and closed her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat when she felt his hands wrapped around her waist and hugged her.

Was this real?

She thought she was dreaming. If this was a dream, she didn’t want to wake up.

“Good night,” Loriel moved closer and tightened his hug. Now, their bodies were touching. Elise had to manually control her lungs to breathe again. Her mind was still so shocked.

She loved sleeping in his embrace. She always dreamed of this after they got married. However, Loriel never slept with her until morning. This was the first.

The only time they were together until the morning after the consummation was when he was drunk. He probably didn’t remember it.

“You should sleep…”

Elise heard Loriel speak to her softly. It made her heart flutter and she couldn’t help but curve up a faint smile on her lips.

“Okay,” she replied with a barely audible voice. Elise closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

It was so hard to do with her husband’s half-naked body pressing on hers from behind. It was so warm and cuddly.

She almost felt loved.

Meanwhile, Loriel also couldn’t sleep. He actually really liked their sleeping situation now. He didn’t know that sleeping while hugging her soft body would feel so… comfortable.

He could also smell her scent. It was intoxicating. Elise smelled like blooming roses or even…  jacaranda. So sweet and calming.

The man got carried away and started kissing her nape. Elise’s heart slowly raced. She liked being kissed on that part. It sent shivers down her spine, a good kind of shiver.

“You always smell so good,” Loriel muttered. “I really like it.”

Elise bit her lip and smiled. She loved hearing his voice, complimenting her. His words warmed her heart and somehow grew her courage.

Elise slowly turned around, facing Loriel. Now their faces were only inches apart from each other. The chamber was dim because there was only one candle lighted, but since both were already used to the darkness, they could see each other well.

Loriel’s eyes glint in amusement when he saw his wife take initiative and face him. He looked at her deeply, admiring her beautiful features.

Gosh… she was truly the most beautiful woman in the world. At least that’s what he thought. Loriel had traveled far and wide and met so many people throughout the years. He had never met anyone as beautiful as Elise.

Seeing her husband’s expression didn’t show any signs of feeling bothered, Elise mustered up the courage.

She tilted her head and planted a kiss on his lips.

Loriel’s eyes bulged in surprise. He didn’t expect his wife to take a step this bold.

She kissed him first!!

After the initial shock, Loriel immediately returned her kiss with more passion.

He was very happy. Elise didn’t have much experience in kissing and her movement was slightly awkward, but Loriel thought her kiss was so great, just because she took the initiative.

He started to see his wife differently.

Elise couldn’t hold back any longer. When she looked at her husband’s handsome face, his sweet smile, and the fact that he was hugging her… she was aroused. She wanted him. So badly.

She didn’t really know why.. maybe she was addicted to their lovemaking because it was so great? Or… was this caused by pregnancy hormones? She heard that some women had higher libido when they became pregnant.

Elise stopped thinking. Her mind was in a mess. Loriel’s kiss had quickly ignited the desire in her heart.

She wanted to kiss him. She wanted to feel his muscles, hear his panting breath, she wanted him to enter her and fuck her all night long.

“Ohh…. Loriel…” Elise whispered between her breath… She wanted to ask him to have sex with her, but she was too embarrassed. So, she halted her words.

Loriel was in a daze. When she called his name, the words sounded so sweet in his ears. What was it that she wanted?

Why did she stop?

“Yes..?” The man let go of his kiss and looked at her deeply. He touched her cheek and waited for Elise to continue her words.

She bit her lip in frustration. She still couldn’t say it. Her hand touched his bare chest and traced it, down to his stomach… and lower… until she reached his bulge.

Loriel got the second shock of his life after Elise initiated the kiss earlier.

What…? She wanted sex too?

He didn’t know whether he should feel worried or proud. Worried that Elise was pregnant but she wanted him to penetrate her. Proud that his shy little kitten had metamorphosed into a really sexy cat.

He immediately remembered some facts he read in a book from the library. Pregnant women might have an increase in libido. So, he assumed that was what happened with his wife.

Well, he had no problem if she wanted him to fuck her. In fact, he would feel delighted. His wife was really hot and he still remembered the night when they consummated their marriage. She was oh so delicious.

He couldn’t forget what it felt like when his manhood tasted the inside walls of her pussy. It was one of the bests, if not the best, pussy he had ever put his penis in.

Loriel loved the feeling of being clamped tightly by her throbbing walls and heard her moan sexily, calling his name.

However, would it be safe for her pregnancy if he fucked her now?

From Missrealitybites:

I decided to write snusnu for them in the next chapter. What do you think? It will come in the chapter for tomorrow though because I want to write it properly. So, I can’t rush it for today.

Btw, I know you are hating Loriel now, but I think if you see how good he is to Elise during her pregnancy, you will slowly like him again.
