Orb of the Night (#1 of the Resolution of Royalty series)

Chapter 14

"So I'm right opposite."

"Yes. Now do rest well. I shall come meet you later." Edward started to walk away.

"Wait." Edward stopped and glanced back. "Where are my comrades staying?"

"Right below. I shall take my leave." With that he walked away, leaving her alone. She took a deep breath and threw open the doors, entering her huge room. This room was as big as her old room but more luxurious. She had kept her old room simple with plain blue walls and white sheets. But this room had blue silk sheets covering the bed and walls with tapestries on them. There was a walk-in closet and a bathroom right next to it. There was a small bookshelf right beside her bed and a table and chairs in the center of the room, right in front of the bed.

Fascinated, she walked into her closet. The dresses were breathtakingly gorgeous but a little more dressy than she would've preferred. She walked into the bathroom. The bathroom was gold tiled with a huge bathtub in the middle, big enough to fit two people. All kinds of bath bombs, soaps, shampoos, different taps and shower caps were decorated on the side of the tub. 

She sat down on her bed. The bed was soft and plush. She had seen this much luxury before. She used to reside in this very palace. But it had been a long time since she saw and experienced this. She was a little overwhelmed by this. Werewolves, even during their rule, kept everything as simple as possible. But vampires loved to show off.

"I hope your room is comfortable." Serephina stood up and bowed hastily. Lady Jocelyn Seth entered, looking royal as usual. Today she wore a gold and blue off-shoulder gown that hugged the upper part of her body and revealed a hint of her cleavage. Her hair was tied in a French knot and her lips were painted in a red color.

"Yes, thank you."

"Oh, there is no need to be formal." She said, sitting on one of the chairs. Serephina sat across from her. "I heard this room used to be yours when you were here."

She nodded. "Yes. But I see this room has not been changed."

She chuckled and shook her head. "No one dared to do so. Another good thing is that you are close to Edward."

She blushed. "You know about....."

"Oh of course I do. Do not worry, I support you both. It will finally be lively here."

"If you don't mind me asking but what had happened to Edward to make him cold?"

She smiled sadly. "Sadly it is not my place to tell. You should ask him about it."

She nodded her head and smiled at her. "I shall."

She knocked on his door. She took a sharp breath as the door was opened by a half-naked Edward, his trousers hanging dangerously low on his hips. He seemed to be drying his wet hair. She looked away, her face feeling hot. He had perfectly carved abs with lean arms and a well-defined chest. His long silver hair turned a pale grey when wet.

"Come in please or are you going to stand here, looking at the vase?"

She realized her mistake and looked back at him, blushing. "Oh sorry. I shall come in." He stood aside as she entered the room. His room was slightly bigger than hers with the walls a faded black color and simple things. Nothing luxurious to her surprise. She sat down on one of the chairs around the table.

"So what brings you here fair lady?" He teased, picking up a blue shirt from his bed and slipped it on.

"I need to have a reason to meet my mate?"

He chuckled lightly, buttoning his shirt. "Of course not. Tell me, what would you like to do? Should I dim the lights or do you want to get cozy on my bed?"

She rolled her eyes. "Why are your thoughts so scandalous?"

"Do not tell me that you are innocent. You are guilty of having these kind of thoughts too."

She sighed. "Well I can't say I'm not."

"Now there's my darling." He sighed, walking forward and offered her his hand. She let him pull her to her feet. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, kissing her lips. Their kiss deepened as Serephina held his neck. His fingers slowly glided over the bare skin on her back and she shivered. Every touch felt cold and electric. Her heart picked up speed as his hands hovered on her lower back.

He swiftly lifted her up and carried her to the bed, without breaking the kiss. He climbed on top of her, straddling her hips with his knees. Their kiss was heated as she undid the buttons on his shirt and his hands slowly took down the lace of her dress. He inserted his tongue into her mouth and they both fought for dominance.

He broke the kiss. "Are you sure about this?"

She nodded, her face heated and impatient. "Yes. Do you not want to?"

"I want to." His lips were back on hers, devouring every inch of her lips. She rolled him over, such that now she was on top of him. She unbuttoned his shirt and threw it on the floor. He slowly undid the lace of her dress to reveal the undergarments. He let the dress fall and slipped the shoulder straps of her underclothes. 

"I love you." He whispered against her lips as they continued to make love to each other.
