Chapter 97 - Let Me Take Care Of You

Jiang Ying Yue stood in the back garden of her courtyard as she watched the beautiful moon that was half-hidden behind the little clouds that were present in the sky. The star-filled night seemed so alluring and beautiful that she just wanted to lie down on the ground and watch it until she fell asleep.

She suddenly heard faint footsteps approaching her and even though her back was facing that person, her body and soul knew exactly who he was.

"What are you doing standing here all alone at two in the morning?" Silver asked as he draped a cloak over her shoulders as the night was a little chilly and she was only wearing her inner clothes that were as light as feather.

"Just wanted to enjoy some fresh air." She responded as she let her body relax against his chest when the man wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, giving her a warm back hug that she loved the most because it felt so warm and romantic to her.

She had always been a fan of back hugs and temple kisses and now when she could finally make physical contact with Silver, she had observed that the man had been taking every chance possible to shower her with back hugs or kisses on her temples or forehead.

"What happened? I thought you had plans to complete your bond with Wang Shu tonight. But from what I can sense, you have only bonded to the third stage. Why didn't you complete the bond?" He sounded more worried than curious and it made Jiang Ying Yue smile.

But it was true! She indeed had plans to complete her bond with the Second Prince and she was ready to do it until they both were left alone in the bedroom. However, the hesitation that she saw in him made her rethink about her plans.

"This is an ancient world, Silver. People here have different rules and beliefs. The Princes have also learned those exact rules that state that any physical contact between a man and a woman could only be done if they are married. And I... I'm not their wife."

"Do you know, even brothers and sisters here don't hug each other. Married couples can't even hold their hands outside their home. A place filled with such rules is a far cry from our world. I don't want the Princes to feel uncomfortable because of me. They are already stepping out of their comfort zones because of me, so u should learn to be patient with them and take things at a slow pace. Right?" Jiang Ying Yue turned her body to face her man as she looked at him while waiting to hear his response. 

As an answer to her question, she received a soft and warm kiss from Silver on her forehead before he pulled her into his arms, filling her with his warmth as he rested his chin on the crown of her head while speaking, "You are doing the right thing, baby. Caring about the Princes is what you should do as their mate, but what about you?"

Jiang Ying Yue pulled away slightly to look at him. She knew that he could feel the unhappiness of her soul and the fire in her body that still hadn't quietened. "Just like I said, I need to learn to be patient." She replied with a small smile but could tell that Silver wasn't buying her lousy words. 

"Really? Are you really planning of depriving yourself of what you desire?" He asked while one of his hands made its way under the cloak before sliding inside her inner shirt and resting on her bare waist, right under the hem of her chest wrap.

A small gasp skipped Jiang Ying Yue's lips as she closed her eyes for a mere second to enjoy the coldness of his palm against her burning skin. Just when she thought that he was there to comfort her, she found out that he had appeared to only torture her more than she already was. Because of her bond that she had just upgraded with the Second Prince, her body and soul were still sensitive and greedy. There was only a limit to how long she could control herself from snapping and getting what she desired. 

"Silver..." She called him and there was both warning and a plea in her voice. As much as she wanted him to stop, her body and soul refused to let him go.

"It's alright, love. Let me take care of you. Though we can't complete our bond, I still have my ways to help you. Besides, I'm not from this world. The rules here don't apply to me and I'm more than happy to give you what you want. Just let me take care of everything. Alright?" Silver asked as he moved his other hand to cup her face.

What else could Jiang Ying Yue do other than nod her head in agreement? She was on the verge of shattering into millions of pieces because of the building desire inside her. Her soul and body were filled with so much desire that it was becoming hard for her to even breathe as long as one of her mates was close to her, let alone those moments when all of them surrounded her.

She didn't realize that she had closed her eyes at some point and they flew open when she felt the man picking her up in his arms as he started walking towards the first courtyard. It was the only courtyard in the entire Cold Palace that she hadn't stepped into ever since she had come to this world and it was also located too far away from her fifth courtyard, meaning that they would have complete privacy there.

She was expecting the inside of the courtyard to be dark and cold, but she was surprised to see the whole place lit with beautiful lanterns and perfectly furnished with a king-size bed resting in the middle of the bed-chamber. Long purple coloured drapes were falling around the bed and dozens of candles were lit to provide light.

She even smelled a light sweet aroma in the air and it was only then did she realize that Silver had prepared everything with his magic just to make sure that she would feel comfortable and content. Her heart warmed as she watched the man who was treating her like a Queen, his queen.

Silver placed her on the bed before he created a barrier around the first courtyard to make sure that no one would be disturbing them and only after that did he turn his attention towards the woman who had been looking at him constantly ever since he picked her up in his arms. "What? Feeling in love with me?" He asked with a teasing tone while leaning his face closer to her.

His question made her smile as she replied, "Always have been. That never changed ever since the first time I confessed my feelings to you." 

Silver looked into her eyes and was suddenly reminded how beautiful they looked even though they were now black instead of hazel. However, what made them appear beautiful was the emotions that he saw swirling inside them. A lot of love, warmth, care, and affection. Just looking into her eyes and he could tell that the woman loved him even more than her own life, just like he loved her more than anything.

"I love you so much, Yue. I hope we can finally find our happily ever after in this place." He spoke before capturing her lips in a soft kiss, immediately feeling how her body shivered as his hands moved to take off the cloak that was wrapped around her shoulders.

At first, he kept the kiss soft and slow. His lips moved against hers in slow strokes, almost like light feathers brushing against each other. At the same time, his fingers were working on the knots that were keeping her inner shirt in place. After a few seconds of struggle, he did succeed in u tying them and immediately pulled down her inner shirt from her shoulders before taking it off completely, leaving her only in her chest wrap and pants.

He felt her hands clutching the front of his olive colored V-neck t-shirt before she slipped her hands inside, feeling his abs with her fingers and palms as she kept exploring his upper body. 

A groan slipped through his lips when he felt her fingernails teasing his right nipple, making his body shiver with pleasure. But no matter how much he wanted to delve into the depths of pleasure himself, it wasn't his time yet. Right now, it was all about his mate and her pleasure and he had promised to take care of her. 

He grabbed her arms before pulling her hands out of his shirt, causing her to groan in frustration and it made him chuckle lightly.. He pulled away slightly to take off his t-shirt before once again capturing her lips and this time in a deep and hot kiss.
