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

Chapter 15

Serephina panted as she came, her whole body trembling with pleasure and a moan escaping her mouth. He pulled out of her just in time to come all over her stomach, which made her even more wet. Somehow, it was hot for her.

He picked up his shirt which Serephina had so mercifully thrown and he cleaned her up with it. He threw it back to the floor and climbed beside her. "But your shirt..?"

"Oh don't worry about it. I have ten other shirts which looks exactly the same." He said, waving a hand.

"Ten other shirts? Wow." They stared at each other, a comfortable silence between them. He scooted closer and wrapped his arm around her.

"How was your experience?"

She chuckled. "Amazing. But then again I don't have a frame of comparison."

"Wait, this was your first time?"

She nodded her head. "Yes kind of. I mean I never had penetrative sex."

He sighed. "You should have told me this before. I would have taken it slow."

"Don't sweat it. I wasn't hurt at anytime and if I was, I would have let you know." She snuggled in his chest, wrapping her hands around his waist. Soon enough, her body stilled, her breathing even. He looked down and saw that she had fallen asleep. 

He lightly brushed away her hair away from her face. She looked so peaceful, her chest rising up and down. Her hair was fanned out behind her, scattered like grass on the bed. He could now see that she was tanned. The skin on her neck and chest were different. 

The door opened and Lady Seth and Aunt Malorie entered, carrying his medicine. They stopped short as they saw him lying on the bed with Serephina. He sat up, hastily  covering Serephina with the bed sheets. "Mother..."

"Oh its alright dear. We shall be back later." His mother assured him. They both were smirking at him. "But I do hope you satisfied her."

"Shhh. You will wake her up."

"Oh sorry." She said, lowering her voice. "But be back for dinner. It is in three hours."

"Also, do not forget to drink your medicine." Aunt Malorie reminded, setting the tray on the table. They giggled and hustled out of the room, closing the door behind them.

"Who had come?" Serephina asked, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"No one. If you want, you can sleep for a few more minutes. I shall wake you up an hour before the dinner."

She shook her head. "No no. Its fine. I shall go to my room." 

Edward held her hand to stop her. "Just two minutes."

She smiled. "Fine. I suppose I can spare the King two minutes of my precious time."

Edward sat at the head of the table with other lords and ladies. There were vampires, fair folk and the werewolves. Serephina sat on his left, with Lady Seth beside her and Aunt Malorie across. Her comrades sat close by, looking slightly uncomfortable but they were dressed formally.

No one dared to give the werewolves a snarky comment or a rude remark in the presence of the cold and dangerous king. Serephina looked drop-dead gorgeous in a yellow sleeveless gown, which revealed her toned arms. Her arms weren't slender but strong and slightly muscular. He hadn't noticed the scar that ran along the length of her inner forearm. He mentally made a note to caress her scars when they were alone again.

Everyone ate in silence, not really knowing what to say. His mother, Lady Seth had struck up a conversation with Lady Orpheus of the North. Serephina was engaged in a conversation with Queen Hollis of the fair folk. Edward did not mind the silence. He was used to it.

"You aren't speaking?" Serephina asked Edward, putting the last piece of steak in her mouth and wiping her mouth with her napkin. He looked at the other werewolves present. They weren't exactly neat in eating with cutlery but Serephina was elegant.

"Oh my. Did our last session make you so hungry? ."

She blushed and stiffened, looking embarrassed. "I um,..."

"Be at ease Serephina, I'm only joking." He said, a small smile playing on his lips.

"That is what they all say." She muttered to herself, plastering a smile on her face.

His smile faded away. "Pardon?"

She shook her head. "Oh its nothing. My hunger is still not quite satisfied." She politely called for the servant and asked for some more steak using the words "please" and "thank you".

Edward stared at her for a moment and then went back to eat his food. He had heard what she said. They ate in silence as the table buzzed with conversation around them.

After they were done, Edward stopped her in the hallway. "Would you like to spend the night in my room?"

She looked unsure. "Okay. I shall change into my night dress and join you." With that she disappeared into her room. He walked back to his room, changed his clothes and waited for her on the bed.
