*** ROYAL CASTLE, BALVINA ***

Initially, Ayra and Cedric wanted to leave after the breakfast. Now that incident caused this delaying and they had no way out rather than resting in their room. Robert was considered in this way. He arranged the best accomodations for them and suggested Cedric to stay overnight. But the decision was upto since she was panicked by the incident.

Cedric didn't leave her side anymore. He blamed himself inwardly telling that he should have been more cautious around his family members. They all had different kind of motives towards them.

Ayra watched him peeling apple for her. His long slender nails worked on the apple so elegantly that looked as a perfectionist. She couldn't help but teasing him from her bed,

" Woah! I never thought that the greatest Demon King has so many skills. You can even peel the apple so perfectly. I wonder who got such a luck to have food from your hands?"

Cedric didn't pull his attention away from the apple. He replied shrugging his shoulders off a little,

" I never did this before, love. I only beheaded people with this knife and I am visualizing this apple as their heads. Much smoother than I expected! Ain't I genius?"

He spoke before shot a proud grin on her way. Ayra's expression was black as the bottom of pot. She almost choked herself with her own saliva and shut her mouth. She wasn't very comfortable in talking about deaths or blood.

Cedric sliced the apple afterwards and brought them to her on the bed. Sitting across the bed, he offered brining one of it in her mouse,

" Here! Eat it."

Ayra's cheeks flustered a little as she spoke trying to skip from his obvious action,

" I can eat by myself. You don't have to feed me."

Black lines appeared on his forehead after her heartless refusal.He didn't retract his hand immediately and replied in a casual tone,

" If I decide to feed you by force, you won't be liking more, love. So better eat it when I am so nice to you."

Ayra gave him a cold glare but it didn't affect on his doing. He held the slice on her lips and didn't falter a little. His deep eyes held the stubbornness as always.

Ayra reluctantly opened her mouth and took the slice quickly. His fingertips brushed on her lips causing her stomach knotting uneasily. He always knew how to waver her fragile heart.

Cedric smirked at her obedience and reached out to pick up another slice. To stop him from feeding anymore, Ayra wisely come up with an idea while munching on her slice,

" Why don't you eat too?"

Cedric blinked staring up at her and asked to ensure,

" Are you sure that you want me to eat?"

Ayra was stunned for a moment after his words. She nodded her head dumbly admitting that she really thought about his well being,

" Yes! What's wrong in that?"

She didn't understand why did he sounded so mysterious. She simply suggested him to eat so that she wouldn't have to eat from his hands. Cedric only smiled cheekily and put the plate down aside.

Without asking anymore, he leant for her lips and other hand pressed her head from back. Bringing her mouth closer to his lips, he captured her lips into a smooch kiss and slipped his tongue inside her mouth.

Ayra whimpered protestingly and felt him sliding out one of her little piece of apple. Cedric let go of her head and sat straight. Smiling at her sweetly, he commented with a grin,

" It's Sweet."

Ayra was speechless for a few moments after his unpredictable action. Blushing hard, she muttered disbelievingly at his face,

" What.. what did you just do?"

Cedric blinked his eyes innocently and stated with confusion,

" What? You asked me to eat! "

Ayra was rendered speechless. He just needed some illogical excuses to pick on her. Diverting from the topic, Ayra looked outside at the dark sky. She spoke frowning her eyes together,

" Are we going to stay here?"

Cedric replied reaching for another slice to put in her mouth,

" What do you suggest?"

Ayra replied after giving it a thought,

" Since Lord Robert wants us to stay, we shouldn't turn down his offer. I heard from Sienna earlier that Balvina looks best at night. Can't we stall outside tonight?"

Cedric caressed his brows a little and answered taking a look of already darkening sky,

" We can, Princess but I don't want you to get in another trouble."

Ayra insisted too greedy to enjoy the night view of BALVINA,

" Please, Your Highness! We shouldn't miss the chance. I know that you have your way."

Cedric hesitated deep inside his mind. Balvina wasn't his kingdom. Without his guards around, it was quite risky to stall at night especially when he had Ayra by his side. Looking at her excitement, he didn't even had the heart of turning down her offer.

Cedric tapped on his chin and asked raising one of his sharp eyebrows,

" Umm.. What am I getting in exchange of this 

visit? "

Ayra felt lump inside her throat under his intense eyes. She murmured looking at him suspiciously,

" What... what do you want again now? I am telling you in advance now that I won't be playing any game with you."

She still felt shy whenever she reminded of their wedding night. She was too naive to believe on his tricky words.

Cedric's grin spreaded widely. His eyes darkened when his wife started to get anxious whenever he asked for something. It felt too good that he had his influence on her.

Cedric pondered for a while and got closer slowly. Staring down at her partially parted lips intensely, he demanded licking his own lips hungrily,

" Kiss me initiatively! If you can satisfy me, we will go on a vampire date tonight."
