Chapter 32: Crowned (Nicholas' POV)

Ella knocked on the door repeatedly until I was frustrated enough to come open it. 

I opened it with a little extra force. 

She flinched and looked at me. "It's just me, why are you locking it?" she asked softly while walking inside. 

I locked the door behind her and let out a sigh. 

"He really wants to kill me, doesn't he?" she asked. 

I walked over to her, taking a hold of her and pulling her closer. "He will not be able to. I'll be crowned the day after and then everything is going to be fine, okay?" 

She looked at me hesitantly before slowly nodding. "Okay." She put her arms around my neck and hugged me. 

I hugged her back but my heart rate shot up and my body tensed up when she placed a few kisses on my neck. I felt her smile against my skin before she let out a soft chuckle and pulled back to look at me. 

"Did you just get nervous when I kissed your neck?" 

"No," I lied. 

"Really?" She arched a brow at me sharply. She stepped closer again, smirking up at me. 

"Don't," I said warningly, shaking my head. 

She stifled a laugh, grabbing the back of my neck and pulling my lips down to hers. "You got nervous," she whispered against my lips. 

"Mm-mm," I disagreed. 

"Mm-hmm," she chuckled without breaking the kiss. 

I walked backward, keeping a hand on her waist to pull her with me. I got to the door and twisted the lock with a click. 

She smiled against my lips in response. 

I pulled back to look at her. 

She was grinning from ear to ear. "What?" she asked. 

I shook my head in response, just taking a minute to look at her. She grabbed my tie and tugged at it before going on her toes and planting her lips on mine. I grabbed her hand that was holding onto my tie and gently pulled it down as she loosened it. I broke the kiss, pulling the tie off before kissing her again. 

She pushed me back gently, laughing. "It's the middle of the day," she laughed. 

"I don't care," I shrugged. I pulled her closer but she only pulled back again. I gently grabbed her throat, putting my hand around it, and pulled her closer. She smiled, grabbing onto my hand but she didn't push it off. I pulled her closer by her neck and then kissed her again. We walked to the bed without breaking the kiss and she sat down first. I knelt in front of her and then slowly she lay down and I hovered on top of her, breaking the kiss, trailing more down her neck. 

"Really?" she chuckled. "In the middle of the day?" 

"Yes," I said breathlessly. "Really."

(The day after) 

Ella and I sat there, exhausted. The whole ceremony had just ended. It consisted of Ella and me taking a bunch of oaths, being blessed, and more before it was finally done and wrapped up. I was finally crowned. 

I was fucking finally crowned king. 

We were excused once all the important people had left and we stood up and started walking upstairs.
