Chapter 282: Melting Into A Kiss

Seren moved her hands back to his robe, and this time, she was being more careful not to touch his skin. She pulled that heavily embroidered robe down from his shoulders and arms, which then fell at his feet in a heap. 

However, there was something she did not expect. Unlike her, he was not wearing any upper garment inside. Under his robe, Drayce only had his pants on. And she realized this fact the moment his robe fell on the floor.

Seren gulped. She had seen his bare back before when she helped him remove his clothes once, but at that time, she was still ignorant and she didn't feel what she was feeling at this moment. Back then, she had no knowledge of the things between husband and wife, and she was not as sensitive to his existence as she was now. Her feelings and thoughts this time were more complicated as well. She somehow found herself picturing the image of his upper torso based on how she had seen it before. 

'I want to touch his back.'

In the past, she did not even want to have this man in the same room as her. Now, not only did she want to see his body,  but she also wished to touch it and feel those lines on his back to know how they feel. Her outstretched hand had almost touched him when she got her wits back, but she retreated thinking it might not be the right thing to do for a proper lady.

"It's done," she said in a small voice. 

Though Drayce was not looking at her, he knew what she was up to. When her hand had retreated, he felt displeased but he found comfort in the fact that she at least had thought of touching him. It was progress, and it was enough for him now. After all, discounting that time she was drugged, it was their first night to be intimate with each other. He was sure she would be more open and comfortable given ample time. In the future, a day would come when she would do what she wanted to do and he would be lucky to be on the receiving end of her passion.

With a silent sigh, Drayce turned around to look at his wife who had lowered her head a little, seemingly embarrassed to look at him. He found her reaction somewhat funny, as regardless of which way she's looking, she could not see him. 

'Still, a long way to go,' he lamented. Drayce could only continue to be patient with her. He gently held the hands she pulled back and tugged them gently to have her close the small distance between them. He then placed her hands on his chest, with one of her palms pressing above his own wildly beating heart. She seemed surprised and wanted to pull her hands back, but he did not let her. She no longer struggled as she did not dare disobey his wish.

"My Queen, you can touch me whenever and wherever you want."

Seren felt his muscular chest under her cold palms and did not know what to do. Did he not know how indecent his proposal was? How could she willfully touch his body? She had yet to even understand why she wanted to touch him!

"You don't have to feel embarrassed. Isn't this how husband and wife should treat each other?"

Seren silently considered his words. Her mind was telling her that she should act like a proper lady, yet her instincts were saying otherwise. After a while, her body relaxed and she surrendered from trying to hold back, letting her hands roam around his rock solid chest. 

'It feels good, and even his heartbeats feel good.'

Drayce let go of her hands and lifted her body in his arms. Startled, she let out a yelp as she held onto his broad shoulder with one hand while the other one rested against his chest. 

Drayce carried  Seren towards the center of the bed while looking intently at her even in the dark. He could see her wide-eyed gape, and she could see how her long hair fanned around the pillows as he placed her down. 

He found the sight endearing. This darkness inside the room didn't matter to him as he could vaguely see her figure and features. Although he found it a pity he could not fully appreciate her appearance, it was enough that he could kiss her now without any obstacles.

After putting her down on the bed, he hovered over her with his arms supporting his body, careful not to put his weight on that delicate figure. Her one hand was still around his neck while her other hand was at his chest. 

"Are you comfortable?" he asked.

Seren nodded lightly. Just as she was about to pull her hands back from his body, Drayce lowered his face to hers and kissed her with more vigor. 

Earlier, they had shared a long slow kiss that made her lose her breath, but this time, he wanted the kind of hot torrid kiss that would leave her body yearning for more. The moment he captured that moist mouth, it was as if flames had been ignited inside their bodies. 

Seren forgot about everything else​​​​— what she was doing and where she should be touching​​​​— as she melted into that kiss. It was as if Drayce was pouring all the passion he had long withheld inside him. He sucked and nibbled and bit her lips, with much more intensity and desire than ever before.

All of a sudden, something warm and wet invaded her mouth. Her mind had blanked out, and she let out a soft moan as her body responded in kind. 

She felt Drayce's tongue sliding into her mouth and she was taken aback. She didn't know what to do because his tongue suddenly probed into her mouth. It did not feel bad but, but she was not sure if it felt good​​​​—no, her body was responding and it was as if another moan wanted to escape her mouth. Yet, she didn't know how to respond. 

'Since he put his tongue in, then do I…?'

She had read about kissing in the books, but reading and facing it for real were both different things. 

Sensing her lack of reaction after her initial moan, Drayce stopped and their lips parted a little. In the heat of the moment, he forgot that his wife was still exploring unfamiliar territories. She was the kind of person who was wary in nature, and she would freeze at every unexpected scenario. 

He looked at his shocked wife, prompting her to breathe. Once she was a little less tense, he asked, "Do you want to continue?"

"Yes...I..." Instead of nodding, this time she replied this way, while still catching her breath.

"You need to do what I am doing," he instructed gently. "Stick out your tongue a little. Do it slowly if you like. You do not need to think, just follow your urges."

She felt puzzled and heard him again, "Trust me." After a few seconds, Drayce sensed her opening her mouth, and the tip of her tongue was stuck out a little. 

He smiled, 'Such an obedient wife.'

"Remember, if you experience anything unfamiliar and do not know how to react, just do what I am doing with you," he said as he touched the tip of her tongue. Seren immediately pulled her tongue back in reflex as it was such a strange curious experience, though it felt really good. 

"You didn't like it, my Queen?" he asked, staring into her lightly glittering purple eyes.

"I…just…" She couldn't find a better way to word her thoughts. It wasn't that she liked it, but she did not dislike it either. 

He caressed the side of her face with his hand like he was coaxing her. "Focus on how it makes you feel, and nothing else. This is something you and I will enjoy. Trust me."

She just nodded. She could not say she found it good but needed time to get accustomed to it.

"Shall we?" he asked. 

Seren gulped and stuck her tongue out a little like before. Drayce lowered his head once more and tasted that sweet tongue, rolling it along with his own, before deepening their kiss into a passionate one, their tongues tangling in an intimate dance. Just a tiny action from her, yet it was enough to send his senses in an overdrive.

Drayce groaned as he felt her responding to his fierce kiss, and with each second passing by, he felt his control over his desires slowly, ever-so-slowly, starting to slip out of his control.
