Chapter 92: I’ve missed kissing you (18+)
I could see the worry etched on Bella's face as she noticed the shift in my mood. Her forehead creased, her lips pursing slightly as she studied me with concern.
"Is something wrong?" she asked, her voice gentle and tender.
"Nothing," I said, trying to brush off her concern, though I knew my words lacked conviction. "I'm just thinking about tonight."
She raised an eyebrow at me, her gaze unwavering. "You're thinking about tonight, or you're worried about tonight?"
With my hand resting on the small of Bella's back, I forced a smile, masking my inner turmoil.
"Nevermind," I said, trying to dismiss her concern. "Let's talk about something else, something more positive."
"Like what?" she asked, her tone still laced with suspicion.
"Like my promotion," I said, my voice filling with pride.
I narrated the story of the beast monster attack to her. How I had first found out about the attack, how I had fought a few beast before deciding such method was too ineffective and time consuming.
I told her how Emily, Aaron and I went to check different locations and I happened to discover the garden.
I told her how I got trapped in the garden and how the other had been smart in their decisions.
I told her how master jared came and we ended up killing the beasts and closing the portal.
Then I told her how the king promoted me by making me personal guard to the prince.
I told her how I now had my own place and even got attended to by servants.
Bella's playful smile tugged at my heartstrings, her teasing response a much-needed lighthearted moment amidst the seriousness of our conversation.
"Looks like you're a bigshot now," she teased, her voice filled with affectionate amusement. "Saving the world, one monster at a time."
I let out an exaggerated sigh, rolling my eyes in an exaggerated fashion.
As we approached the gates, I took note of the two guards that stood there, their postures rigid and alert, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.
With a deep breath, I readied myself for the performance of a lifetime, my eyes narrowing with determination as I approached them.
We approached the gatekeeper, my steps measured and purposeful as I maintained a stern expression, the very picture of a man with vital information to share.
The guards raised their eyebrows as we drew nearer, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and wariness.
The guards looked at the girl with me and exchanged a brief glance with each other, a silent communication between them.
"You can go in but we can't let the stranger in". The shorter rod the guards said with a shake of his head.
Judging by our first two encounters, I believed I could safely assume Damon was a pervert. If he was one, then the guards would be used to various women visiting his wing, even if it was infrequently.
I knew what I had to do to convince them to let us in.
I inhaled sharply, my indignation at their refusal palpable as I allowed my disbelief to seep into my expression.
"Who is the stranger?" I asked incredulously.
The guards looked unsure of what to say in response but eventually the shorter one spoke again.
"She". He said and pointed to her. Read new chapters at mvl
I scoffed. "This is no stranger. She is a friend of the prince". I said, emphasizing on the friend.
"She needs to see him urgently so they can discuss some very important issues". I said with a slight tilt of my head.
Understanding filled the faces of the guards and they nodded hastily.
"Right, sorry for the delay". The shorter one said quickly.
I said nothing, only watched as the guards parted for us to walk through.
When we entered the wing and were out of earshot, Bella burst into laughter. I let a proud smirk grow on my face as i looked at her.
"You're such a liar". She said.
"I'm the most honest guy you'll ever meet". I replied with a smirk.
I'm not time, we had reached the door and I was pushing it open.
As soon as the door closed behind us, I wasted no time and immediately kissed Bella.
At first, she was a bit surprised and stiffened, but after a few moments she relaxed and began to kiss me back.
[Kiss, +10 lust points]
With a slow exhale, she let her guard down and I could feel her body responding to my advances.
Our kiss was passionate and my hands roamed Bella's body, claiming her as mine. I could feel her body responding to my touch as she moaned softly into the kiss.
Breaking away from the kiss, I couldn't help but smile at Bella.
Her face was flushed, her cheeks a rosy pink, and her hair had started to fall slightly out of place.
I couldn't resist the urge to reach out and tuck a loose strand behind her ear, my hand lingering for a moment as I admired her beauty.
I made my way to the bed, taking a seat and looking up at Bella with a wordless invitation.
She seemed to understand my intent and joined me, sitting down beside me.
I placed my hand around her waist and pulled her closer, feeling the warmth of her body against mine.
Our lips locked once again, the kiss deepening as I pulled her closer, my hands roaming her body with increasing urgency.
Our lips met passionately and my tongue slipped into her mouth, exploring the warm depths of her mouth as our kiss deepened.
A soft moan escaped her lips as she opened her mouth wider to allow my tongue entry, inviting me to explore every inch of her.
My tongue swirled around hers, caressing every crevice and relishing in the taste of her.
As I pulled away, Bella let out a small moan of protest, the sweet sound of her desire only intensifying my own.
Ohhh~
