Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 35: I DON'T KNOW WHEN I FELL IN LOVE

Setherian deeply regretted how he had been treating the princess, she had had a life full of hardships, and by marrying him that had not changed, but had continued. He asked Rebecca to leave the bathroom to finish bathing, when 6qahe came out he found her trying to take off the dress she was wearing, he approached her, helped her take it off and asked her.

-What are you doing?

-Changing my clothes.

-I can see that, but why didn't you call one of the maids to help you?

-I don't like to depend on someone else for everything.

-Still, your wound hasn't healed yet, don't do it on your own.

Rebecca had been left with only a light short dress she wore underneath, Setherian lowered her hands to the hem of the dress, her hands touched her bare skin, Rebecca blushed.

-Now you're ashamed of me seeing you naked, weren't you the one who told me a while ago to be proud of my body?

-I don't mind his majesty seeing me, but it's embarrassing to be touched.

-You're very strange, princess.

-Rebecca.

-What?- The king asked curiously.

-My name is Rebecca.

-I know that already.

-I thought you didn't know since his majesty always calls me princess.

-You don't call me by my name either, even though I asked you to.

-It's not the same.

-I think it is, if you don't want me to call you princess then don't call me your majesty, I will call you by your name if you do the same.

-Do you promise?

-Yes, I promise.

-It's all right, Setherian.

-Rebecca.

-Yes.

-I'm just saying your name, you don't have to answer- said Setherian as she laughed.

Rebecca felt embarrassed, her face flushed red, in Setherian's eyes she looked adorable, he circled her waist and placed his hand behind her nape, his lips came down and joined hers in a kiss, his lips were sweet, warm and tender, he gave small kisses at first and then deepened his kiss, exploring her mouth with his tongue, he sucked her lips and gave them a little mm bite as if he wanted to eat them, that kiss was too much for Rebecca, she felt her legs weak and without strength, she felt she would fall if she didn't hold on, she held on to the robe Setherian was wearing and with her voice cracking she cried out his name as a plea for him to stop.

-Setherian.

But that didn't make him stop, on the contrary, it made him want more, the hand on her waist began to descend to her bottom, Rebecca was not comfortable with that kind of caress and said to him.

-Setherian, please stop.

Setherian stopped as his voice was shaking Rebecca, apparently he was scaring her, he pulled away from her as if he didn't he was going to end up losing control and said.

-I got hot, I'll go take another bath,you finish changing.

Setherian had let himself go, forgetting that Rebecca hadn't fully recovered yet, they couldn't go beyond kissing but for a moment he wanted it, he wanted to touch her body, to feel her skin, her sweet voice moaning with pleasure. Setherian wondered at what moment he had started having those thoughts, he stayed in the bathtub for quite a while until he could calm his horniness, when he returned to the room Rebecca was already in bed, she was awake but pretended to be asleep, for Setherian it was obvious that she was pretending, however, he said nothing, he lay down next to her and turned off the lights, he thought he could not sleep, but it was not so, he fell asleep quickly, it always happened to him that way when he was with Rebecca.

The next day he woke up first, went to train with the soldiers until he was exhausted and then went to his office to continue with his work.

During the afternoon Setherian saw Rebecca walking in the garden, but that day she was not alone, Romano was accompanying her, while they were walking she was smiling at Romano, for some reason that bothered him, it made him feel uncomfortable, he closed the curtains and started to work, but it was impossible for him to concentrate.

When night fell Setherian went to the dining room, he had arranged to have dinner with his brother. When he got to the dining room he saw Rebecca sitting next to Romano, he was telling her something that made her laugh, Setherian could not hear what it was. At that moment Setherian realized that Rebecca laughed more when she was with Romano than with him, that made him have mixed feelings towards his brother.

When Romano saw his brother arrive he said to him.

-I told the princess that she could have dinner with us, no problem, right?

-No, in fact, you can have dinner with us whenever you want, Rebecca.

-Thank you Setherian- she said.

Romano noticed that they had both started calling each other by their first names, he wondered since when the two had become so close.

When dinner was over Setherian helped Rebecca up.

-How's your wound, did it hurt today- he asked.

-No, today I walked slowly and sat down to rest several times, but on a bench, I did not sit on the floor, I am fine, the doctor also came today and said that I am very well, that soon I will be able to return to my normal life, although I can't do strength.

-That's good, soon you will be able to continue with your magic classes.

Setherian said goodbye to his brother and as they walked along he continued talking to Rebecca.

-Do I really have to continue with my magic lessons- Rebecca asked.

-Yes- Setherian answered.

-But it's useless.

-We've already talked about this several times, Rebecca.

-I know, but...

-Then let's leave it at that.

As he watched them leave, Roman felt uncomfortable, a few months ago he was the closest to the princess, he was the one who understood her the most, but at some point that had changed and his brother had taken his place. He laughed as he realized his thoughts, in reality it had always been his brother's place since he was her husband. Roman had not been aware of his feelings until that moment, he liked the princess, and it was not a friend like, but a romantic like, he did not know how or when but he had fallen in love with Rebecca, Roman clenched his hands into a fist, she was the first woman he had ever fallen in love with, but it was impossible, she was his brother's wife.
