「️♔️」️

The light of the sun invaded my eyes, I unwillingly opened one eye only to see bright light attacking my sight, I tried to get up but a muscular arm was preventing me from doing do. As the events that had happened yesterday came back to me, I looked at Damien with a warm smile.

He still looks breathtakingly handsome even when he sleeps peacefully, I looked at his hair that looks so soft and inviting and couldn’t stop the temptation as I ran my fingers through them as I felt his rich, soft locks of hair through my fingers. They are so soft and silky.

As I ran my fingers through his hair, I couldn’t help but look at his face, his angelic and beautiful face that makes every woman drop to their knees, he has such a sharp and strong jawline, my hand wandered to his jaw as I traced them, his skin so soft and perfect.

I stroke his face with gentle caresses and I almost jumped in surprise as his gorgeous brown eyes opened to look at me. I blushed furiously but didn’t stop running my hands through his hair, he leaned into my touch and my heart soared, he likes my touch, he doesn’t despise them.

He smiled at me and I smiled back.

“Well, I can get used to this everyday” he said in his hot morning voice, deep and husky that makes my lower regions clench tightly.

He pulled my waist so that he could hold me closer in his arms, I let out a surprised gasp as I pressed my chest closer to his strong, hard- and dare I say bare chest, now both of his arms are circled around my waist.

“Good morning beautiful” he murmured to me as he placed his head at the crook of my head and placed sweet butterfly kisses on my skin.

“Good morning Damien” I said breathlessly as I tilt my neck to give him more access, his kisses are so nice.

His hands that were wrapped around my waist start to caress the exposed skin; I arched my back and pressed my chest closer and closer to his.

“Hmm, I love it when you say my name” he said as he nibbled on my skin and then licked on it.

My body shivered and Damien noticed it as he suddenly stopped what he was doing before I could feel his smirk on my neck, what a cheeky bastard, he is doing this on purpose just to get a reaction from me.

He raised his head from my neck and I could see the mischievous and amused glint in his eyes. I rolled my eyes at him before I pouted, he chuckled before he placed his lips on mine.

He took his sweet time in kissing my lips in a slow manner, I groaned against his lips before I grabbed the back of his neck and pressed our lips closer and harder together. His lips tasted like mint and I am starting to doubt whether or not he brushed his teeth before he kissed me.

We finally pulled back to breathe and I smiled at him, he smiled back at me with his killer smile and I almost swooned, then and there.

“Come on, let’s go and eat baby” he said as he got up and offered a hand for me to grab, I thanked him as I blushed profusely. I am not good in this lovey-dovey shit that we are in, hell, I never had this kind of relationship before as I never had any boyfriends in the past, but I am glad that I have it now, and I am glad that Damien is my first and maybe my last, if he won’t get rid of me, the thought crushes both my mind and heart but I didn’t dwell much on that thought as I got up off bed.

We both went inside his bathroom that is conjoined in his large and spacious bedroom, hell his bedroom is like a living room, bathroom and entertainment room smashed all together.

Damien gave me a spare toothbrush and we both brushed our teeth together, I was always so conscious when I was with him and I tried to brush my teeth like Damien, poised and graceful. How he manage to turn brushing into something like freaking damn ballet. Thank God he didn’t see me trying so hard.

Damien told me to go and take a shower, but personally I think he just said I stank in a nice manner, what a gentleman.

So he exited the room and made his way into another bathroom, letting me do my business.

I entered the shower and turned it on, I let the warm water pass down my body, and I cleaned my body with soap and then lathered it with body wash, ah, the sweet smell of sweet pea.

I got out of the shower after 25 minutes of pure ecstasy, I wrapped myself in a white and fluffy towel then I mentally faced palm myself for not remembering to take clothes with me, now what am I supposed to do now?

‘You could always ask someone for help’ she suggested and I can smell the motive in her suggestion.

‘More specifically, your dear mate’ she suggested eagerly as she purred and howled in pleasure, she has been like that ever since Damien apologized to us, always making ways for us to be touchy with each other, trying to get us to mate, the idea of us being mated brings nothing but pure joy and bliss to me but I am not ready for that intimidate part. She would understand after what had happened in my past but she is doing it again.

‘No, I’ll just have to figure out what to do myself’ I said to her.

‘And what are you going to do? Walk out of this room half naked? Great idea, I salute you with my paw’ she said sarcastically as she raised her paw in a mock salute.

‘Well, I could do that’ I mumbled, not knowing what else to do.

‘Are you serious? And what if unmated males see you? What will you do? Widen your eyes then clutch your towel tightly then think in your head that I was right? You know you can’t fight back since you are in a towel, so just call Damien already!’ she demanded, quite desperately might I say.

‘Okay! You win! But only this time’ I mumbled out the last part.

‘I heard that!’

‘Well, you were supposed to’ I fought back but she just rolled her wolf eyes at me.

“Scarlett, baby? Are you still in there? You have been in there for almost 30 minutes, are you okay?” Damien’s worried voice asked as he knocked on the bathroom door. His worried voice shocked me, he is worried... about me?

‘No, of course he is not, he’s actually worried about the shower; of course he is worried about you! You are his mate and he is your mate’ I ignored her sassy reply as I gnawed at my lower lip, debating whether if I should open the door or not.

Ugh! Just open the door Scarlett! I said to myself and I quickly turned the door knob to open the door so that I wouldn’t have to hesitate anymore.

What I saw made me drool, Damien stood there, mouthwatering wearing a tuxedo with black dress pants and a white dress shirt underneath his tux, his hair was messy but it looked totally hot on him, he is so hot in his suit and I wonder if he is hotter without them.

My wolf is howling as pleasant images of him entered my mind, I quickly blushed and widened my eyes at my perverted thoughts and my perverted wolf.

He stared at me, shock clearly evident in his face before his eyes roamed lower than my eyes, his eyes darkened which means two things, either he is angry or aroused, and I highly doubt he would be angry at me, he stared at me with his lust filled eyes and if I am not mistaken his eyes also held awe and adoration.

I cleared my throat and that seemed to make him snap out of his, imaginations.

“My eyes are up here, not down there” at this I noticed a faint blush coloring his cheeks and I almost couldn’t see it, did the mighty Alpha King just blushed?

“Did you blush?” I teased him as I tried to contain my giggles, which made him growl playfully at him.

“If you do not stop teasing me, I will not hesitate to make you shut your pretty little mouth” he paused before he smirked at me and moved closer to me until I hit a wall, he leaned closer as he whispered in my ear.

“And I can think of many ways on how to, want to try?” he said in a sultry voice that has my lower regions clench, I embarrassingly let out a soft purr before I blushed profusely yet again, he chuckled at me but I didn’t miss how his eyes darkened.

He then had the audacity to laugh at my embarrassment which makes me blush even more, I am sure my whole face is coated in the deep color red.

“Shut up!” I whined at him but he just laughed even more, here I am acting like a child- a child in a towel, might I add.

“You are so innocent” he coos as he pinches my cheeks, acting as if I am a child.

“Says the man who blushed not long ago” I said smirking at him, proud to have the last words.

“Oh, I’ll show you how much of a man I am” okay, so maybe I didn’t have the last words, I blushed yet again as I understood the underlying innuendo in his statement.

I cleared my throat, trying to act nonchalant but deep inside I am still blushing.

“Uhm, can you please go and get me some clothes? I kind of forgot to take them with me and I didn’t exactly know who else to call, since many are actually busy doing their jobs and whatnots, I wanted to call for you but then you came, which I was thankful but here I am blushing as you laugh at me and I think I am going to stop on my blabbering to save some of my dignity” I blabbered and not a second later I heard his melodic laugh through the air, God, his laugh was like music to my ears.

“Can you please help my broken dignity and get me clothes?” I mumbled, with a quiet voice, hoping he would oblige, he walked away and after a couple of minutes later he came back with my clothes. He left me to change and after I had put on my clothes he led me to the large and pristine dining table that could fit 25 people.

I looked at the room with awe but what made me awe more was how Damien pulled out a chair for me. I said my thanks to him in which he replied,

“You shouldn’t thank me, baby, a Queen deserves to be treated like that” I blushed at him before I looked at the mouthwatering food in front of me, not as mouthwatering as Damien but still.

I ate my breakfast with gracefulness, trying not to mess up. Thankfully I had managed to bring my shit together.

We ate in a comfortable silence, since I was getting more and more comfortable with Damien, I just pray that he is also comfortable around me.

“You know, I was thinking” Damien started, as he broke the comfortable silence that has engulfed us, I looked up from eating to look at him.

“We know some things regarding each other but other than that, we practically don’t know much about each other, so that is why I had planned for us to perhaps, go out, if you would care to join me, that is?” he asks hopeful as he looks directly in my eyes.

I smiled warmly at him, “You mean, like a date?” I couldn’t help but ask. He grinned at me before he replied.

“Yes, Ms. Lockwood a date, would you be interested to join me in a date?” he asks as he flashed me a knee dropping grin, his pearly white teeth showing, they could seriously make me blind with its whiteness.

“Why certainly, Mr. Richards” I said with a giggle.

“Good, I will come to our room to get you at maybe around 8” I smiled when he said our instead of his, we finished our breakfast and he offered his hand for me to take and I took it with much pleasure.

He gave me a tour and a little bit of background information about his Kingdom, it was built in the 18th century and it was built by his great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather.

It was also one of the oldest Kingdoms in the supernatural world, it was built before the construction of my mother and father’s Kingdom, he also told me that their Kingdoms were actually close to one another, so that’s why in honor of their friendship, his father offered the abandoned Castle protection. He didn’t speak much of his parents, I kept quiet all the time but it has been bugging me all the time, what had happened to his parents?

As we spent time with each other, Jace came and said that Damien had something important to do, which saddened me, Damien nodded his head to Jace and sent me a saddened expression, as if he himself is also sad that he had to leave me so quickly since we barely had enough time for each other.

“You should go, it is something important from what I can tell, besides, the Kingdom can’t run by itself, can it?” I said as I stroked his cheek with my left hand, he leaned into my touch before he sighed.

“Of course, I am sorry I had to leave so soon, I promise I’ll make it up for you tonight, okay baby?” he said to me and I smiled at him before I nodded.

“Let’s go then Jace” Jace snapped out of his trance as he looked at Damien and nodded, something about him is wrong but I just shrugged it off, excited of what Damien had planned for the both of us.

Damien gave me a quick peck before they both left and I also went back to our room shortly after that.
