" I feel something inside of me princess" he spoke and I looked up to meet his intense stare, then he continued.
" Something..... Fluffy,..... tingly... I can't explain it. But whenever I see you or hear your voice, or touch you... Princess..." The more he spoke, the more agitated he looked.I shifted closer and placed my hands on his much larger one in an attempt to comfort him. He looked down at our hands and then at my face.
" That. Princess. It makes me want you.... I've not had such feelings before. I want to keep you for myself" he confessed and my eyes widened. This meant that he liked me, he loved me too?
" Do you want to marry me?" I asked but immediately regretted it.I already knew he didn't want to get married but..
" Yes."
My eyes widened even more at his reply.
" if that will make you want me the way I want you and I can touch you and keep you and always get to see you and protect you and...." His eyes lowered to my lips " And kiss you".He then looked back at my eyes.
" Then .... Princess..... Marry me... Please" he proposed. I was lost for words. What was I even supposed to say to that?.After much silence, I quickly looked at the roasted meat in a plate by my side. I picked up the plate and faced him again.
" You... You... Should eat" I stuttered. His eyes were boring holes on my face and I was now very nervous that I couldn't even look at him in the eye anymore.He tilted his head to the side.
" You want me to eat" he stated and I nodded, keeping my eyes down.
" Also you're wounded. I should go ask Theodosius for some medicine or treatment" I said dropping the plate as I stood up to go but Elias quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me back down towards himself and I was soon straddling him. My eyes were wide." I....ah..." I stuttered as my heart thudded against my ribcage. He put his large arms around my waist and pulled me further into him, causing me to be pressed against him and my legs to widen even more being straddled tightly against his waist. I tried to control my fast beating heart but it wouldn't stop.
" I'm fine. They'll heal in no time" he said and I could only nod.
" I'll eat from your hand" he told me. It took me a while to understand what he said. Once I did, I blinked and quickly tried to get up but he held me down again.
" You'll sit right here" he said casually but his voice was demanding.I nodded and reached for the plate. I picked it up and stared at him. There was no spoon so I'd have to use my hand. I picked up a slice of meat and stretched it to his mouth. He parted his lips and accepted it. I fed him silently even though I was still nervous.
His eyes never left my face even for once and his fingers were constantly drawing soothing lines on my lower back. I sighed.
" Can I know what happens? How you got to meet Memwel.... How you got there.. why you didn't come with us.."
" Shh.... Princess. Do not stress your beautiful mind. I'll tell you everything later, once we've gotten to our destination, so keep feeding me with your pretty hands.. princess" he said and I couldn't help the smile that graced my lips this time.I nodded and continued feeding him. He ate all of it.
" Should I get more?" I asked with a smile.
" No. I'm not hungry" he answered and then continued.
" I only ate because I get to eat off your hands, and as much as I like being fed by you, I do not want you away from me either. So No" he explained and I smiled again, wider this time.Again we both fell silent, just staring at each other. Being on Elias like this made me realize how small I actually was compared to him. He was broad. If someone was behind him, they'll never be able to even guess that I was in front of him. The only thing that would give away my presence were my legs that were on each side of Elias.
I tried not to think about how much I had to spread my legs to be straddling Elias, this huge man and he even had to pull me closer, making sure our lower bodies were glued together.
" I want to taste your lips again princess" Elias spoke, bringing me out of my thoughts. His voice was deep and demanding.I blinked, remembering how he kissed me before. Just the thought of it was making me feel hot and my cheeks flushed a light shade of pink.
" Will you let me kiss you?" He asked and I nodded slowly. He held the back of my neck and then pressed his lip against mine. He sucked on my lips and I tried to follow even if I really didn't know what I was doing.I put my hands over his shoulders, holding him closer as my eyes closed. He kissed me gently, so slow like he was actually savouring the taste of my lips. I could feel his other hand on my waist but he moved it .
He moved it to my thigh and pushed up my dress. His hand felt warm against my skin. I pulled away from the kiss, needing to breathe. My heart was racing. I stared into his eyes noticing his orbs had changed from the honey brown to a very dark shade of brown. I gulped quietly.
" Your eyes Elias" I muttered but he only stared at me.
" Are you alright?" I asked.
" I like that I can hold you this close without worrying. I also like it when you say my name" he said. I smiled. I loved him, I loved him so much, but I wasn't sure this was the right time to say it.I felt content and happy but somewhere deep down. I know it couldn't be this easy. Besides I had already married prince Andrew before Elias arrived but I couldn't tell him that. I knew Andrew was dead already but I was still anxious.
I leaned closer to Elias and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me, enveloping me.
" Sleep princess" he whispered. I pulled from the hug.
" Just like that?" I asked. I had thought something was going to happen, the evidence was heavy and bulging right underneath me and I really anticipated it. I wanted Elias to own me completely." There's a lot I want to do princess. But not here. My men are outside and can see the images of us from outside. I do not want them to see even a hint of what your beautiful body looks like or hear your pretty moans. I want that.... All to myself princess" he said with a straight face but I was sure my face had turned red.
I looked to my right as if I could see his men then looked at him again. I didn't want to think about the fact that his men had seen our silhouette from outside and probably knows I was seated on Elias's laps and even knew that we kissed. I hugged him again.
I hope you like this chapter.
Also Elias has honey brown eyes. That's my original imagination of him and that's how I described him in the book from the beginning. However, somewhere in the book, I might have written that he had gray eyes. I can't find it now. But I'll edit the book once I'm done with it.
Note: his eyes are honey brown, not gray.
