Chapter 59 - Spending The Night

My hips began thrusting up and down, moving wildly in rhythm to the wild thrusting motion of his fingers. Each thrust hit me deep inside and I cried out in ecstasy. I felt the hot heat of my own wetness run down my inner thighs as his fingers continued to pump in and out of my hole. I cried out at the intense pleasure that numb my brain as my climax claimed my body and soul.

I felt Ren’s fingers withdrawing from my body and I blinked my eyes opened to see Ren looking down at me. I must look like a tired mess in his eyes. Ren supported my weak body and lifted me into his arms.

“I…can walk…by myself,” I said in a whisper as I struggled to catch my breath.

“Can you? You don’t sound so convincing,” Ren teased me. His playful smile took my breath away.

Without listening to anymore of my stubborn protests, Ren quickly carried me back into the palace and to my bedroom. Ren opened the door to my bedroom effortlessly even with me in his arms. He carried me towards the bed before laying me on the bed with care.

“Thank you…Ren,” I thanked him before offering him a shy smile.

“You’re welcome, My Lady,” Ren said as he sat down on the bed next to me.

Suddenly, I didn’t know what to do with the situation. We were both on the bed, so now what?

“Your body tells me that you missed me very much…” Ren suddenly spoke up with a playful smile on his lips.

“I…” What am I supposed to say to that?

“Sorry that I didn’t turn up for dinner. I wanted to eat dinner with you but…many things happened, and the meetings were dragged out longer than I thought,” Ren said apologetically.

“No…not at all. That’s ok…” I said quickly. He didn’t promise to have dinner with me or anything so…

“I sent word for the kitchen to make extra food and all that…but in the end, I couldn’t make it. I’m sorry…I’ll make it up to you another time,” Ren said as he reached for a strand of my hair and began wrapping it playfully around his finger.

Oh…so that was why there was so much food served today. Ren…he wanted to have dinner with me as well.

“That’s ok. They say it’s the thought that counts…” I said before flashing him a smile.

It made me happy that he thought of spending time with me although he was very busy. The situation that I was in was far from ideal; however, it could have ended up much worst if I had been paired up with another man besides Ren. In this unfair world where woman had little say and regarded to have little worth, I could have ended up with a worst match…

“What are you thinking about?” Ren asked as he watched me intently.

“Nothing…just that it was nice of you to think of spending time with me,” I replied honestly.

“We’ll both be busier from now on, but I’ll try my best to find time for you…” Ren promised as he stroked my hair lovingly.

“Ok…” I replied simply.

“You should go sleep, Rin. It is late…” Ren whispered tenderly as we laid down on the bed side by side.

Is Ren going to sleep here…together with me?

“Umm…” I began hesitantly.

“What is it?” Ren asked with both his eyes already closed.

“Nothing…good night, Ren,” I whispered.

What’s the point of asking if he’s going to sleep here with me when he’s already practically sleeping next to me with his eyes closed?

He was kind enough to save me from the ambush and he wanted to spend time with me, plus he did give me that gift during our trip back…

I guess I can let him sleep here in my bed for today…

That was the last thought that ran through my mind before my eyes drifted closed.

…

I woke up at the sound of people talking outside. This was clearly unusual. Ever since I’ve been staying in this palace, I have never heard of so much noise and ruckus and so early in the morning. I stirred in my sleep before deciding to open my eyes. If I had a choice, I would choose to continue sleeping; however, with all the noise outside, that choice was robbed from me.

I opened my eyes to see Ren laying on the bed next to me on his side with an amused look on his face as he watched me. I wondered how long he’d been awake and how long he’d been watching me sleep. I felt sleepy and both my body and eyelids felt very heavy. It wasn’t usual for me to want to sleep in, but I was honestly feeling very lazy this morning.

“Good morning, My Lady,” Ren said teasingly as he watched my sleepy face.

That’s right…Ren slept here with me last night.

“Good morning, My Prince…” I replied, sounding very sleepy.

“I like the sound of that,” Ren said before flashing me a stunning smile.

He seemed to be in a very good mood. On the other hand, I was finding it hard to keep my eyes opened. The sound of people talking outside was getting louder and that perked my curiosity. What could be going on and so early in the morning?

“I wonder what’s going on outside…?” I mumbled my question as I rubbed my eyes with my hands.

“Want to go find out?” Ren asked.

He placed his large hand on the top of my head and began stroking my hair. This had the opposite effect to what he wanted because it just made me feel sleepier than before.

“Mhhhmm…ok…” I mumbled as I nodded in agreement.

“Are you that sleepy? It’s quite late already, the sun has risen a long time ago…” Ren said with a small laugh.

“I’m not usually like this…” I said defensively. It was true…but I was quite tired from last night.
