Chapter 167

167 Fervent Kiss

It didn’t take long for Caspian and Anastasia to reach their destination.

Caspian hovered in the air for a while; his gaze was on the beautiful setting that Percy and the others had prepared for the two of them. This was his first time seeing it and he was absolutely satisfied with how the setting appeared from where he was at the moment.

Before lowering down, Caspian asked Anastasia, “Wife, will you open your eyes? I want to show you something before we land.”

“We’ve already arrived?” Anastasia asked in a surprised tone because she had thought that Caspian was going to take him somewhere far. But they came to a halt after flying for what felt like a minute or two.

“Yes, we are here. You haven’t gotten habituated to flying with me yet.” Caspian replied without taking his gaze away from the setting below, “So, I didn’t want you to feel dizzy the whole time you sat down to have your dinner.”

Anastasia couldn’t appreciate her husband enough for keeping such little things in mind.

When she opened her eyes, she looked around and found out that they were near the keep that was on the west side of the Kilerth castle. “So, where are we going to sit down?” she asked.

Caspian turned a little to the side so that Anastasia could see the roof of the keep.

Anastasia’s jaw instantly dropped and her eyes sparkled when she saw the large heart shape made out of hundreds of red rose petals.

.....

Tilla, along with a few other maids, had spread a large white sheet there on the roof for the King and the Queen to lie down on. They had decorated that white sheet with rose petals to make the ambiance more romantic.

Beside that heart, they had set up a small table with varieties of Anastasia’s favorite food items. They had even prepared a lantern if the King and the Queen needed it. However, the silver light from the moon seemed more than enough to light up that whole place and along with it, their moods.

“It looks so beautiful, Caspian...” Anastasia said with a bated breath. She turned to look at Caspian and grinned widely. “This is such a great surprise! I didn’t think that everything would be so...” She pressed her lips together and tightly closed her eyes as if she was trying not to burst with excitement.

“Everything would be so...?” Caspian asked while slowly and elegantly lowering down to the roof.

Anastasia gazed at Caspian’s eyes which were looking like a pair of crescent moons. She grinned again and mumbled in a low and embarrassed voice, “...Romantic! The heart, the moonlight, the dinner.... It looks like something straight out of the romance novels and... and I never thought that I would be lucky enough to experience it.”

Caspian landed right in the middle of that heart shape and gently put Anastasia back on her feet. He pinched her chin and made her look into his eyes. He bent a little closer to her face and whispered seductively, “So, you’re saying that you never thought I could be this romantic?”

Anastasia gently held Caspian’s wrist and said while giggling like a happy child, “Honestly... yes!”

“Ouch!” Caspian was seriously surprised at the honesty of Anastasia. He also joined in with Anastasia and started to chuckle. “Well, then I am glad that I proved you wrong.”

He skillfully twisted his palm and held Anastasia’s wrist instead of her chin. He then smoothly wrapped her arm around his nape and leaned forward. He looked deep into her eyes that were shining under the moonlight, and he asked in his hypnotizing voice, “You like it then, huh?”

Anastasia wrapped her other arm around his nape as well and gazed back into his charming red eyes. Caspian’s cool breath was tickling her lips and neck so softly that it successfully awoke the desire in her. She was more interested in tasting her husband than tasting the dinner which was now starting to get cold.

Without breaking the passionate eye contact, she also replied in an equally mesmerizing voice, “I like it. This will probably be one of the most memorable nights of my life.”

Caspian placed one of his hands on her waist while the other at the back of her head. He stepped a little closer to her and said in a seductive whisper, “Then I shall do everything in my power to make it that way.” His eyes moved from her eyes which were filled with desire to her plump and soft lips.

Anastasia saw his eyes move. She slightly parted her lips to give an invitation to her husband.

Caspian immediately leaned even closer to his wife’s face, their lips a breath away from touching each other. But he didn’t kiss her just yet. Rather, he listened to her melodious heartbeat, one of his favorite music these days.

The wait and the tension in the air were too much to handle for Anastasia. Her heart didn’t take much time to beat at an unprecedented rate.

She began breathing in and out through her mouth, and as her hot breath caressed his neck, Caspian’s desire also broke the walls.

He was thinking of teasing her further by making her wait for a while more. However, he was pleasantly surprised when Anastasia pushed her heels off the ground and entangled her lips with his.

Everything about his wife was so perfect that he found her to be irresistible, especially when she took initiative like this. By now, she had even learned how to skillfully use her sweet tongue to pry open his lips. And when that sweet taste of hers entered his mouth, he could barely keep on staying still.

He tightened his arms around his wife and pressed her body into his. There was barely any space left between them for the air to pass through.

He then fully opened his lips to let his wife in and do what she pleased. He was surprised at how she was pressing his head down with her hands and vigorously frolicking her tongue in his mouth. He was so aroused by the aggressiveness of his wife that he couldn’t resist letting out a throaty moan.

“Mmmhh...” his moan reverberated on her lips, exciting her even more.

After enjoying the kiss for quite a good while, suddenly, Anastasia pulled away from the kiss and gave a whimsical smirk to her husband.

Caspian instantly raised one of his brows in amusement because he had never seen that... naughty look on her before.

Before he could guess what she was about to do next, Anastasia spread out her arms as if she was a free bird. She started giggling uncontrollably and forcefully pushed herself backward, catching Caspian by surprise.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” he tried holding his wife in place, but then, he realized what his wife was trying to do.

So, he let himself slip. He let her fall as well but used his arms to cushion her landing on those hundreds of fresh rose petals. Caspian also allowed himself to perfectly land on top of her, without crushing her tiny frame.

“Aren’t you a feisty one!” Caspian looked at her and said with a burst of surprised laughter.

Anastasia shamelessly agreed, “I am the wife of the feistiest vampire King. I have to act the part, right?”

Caspian was dumbfounded. He simply kept on smiling ear to ear and looking at his precious wife. Had he known that a moonlit dinner would excite this bookworm so much, he would have arranged it daily, or at least whenever there was adequate moonlight brightening up the sky.

Anastasia smiled and wrapped her arms around Caspian’s neck again. And she pulled down her dumbfounded husband to give him the most fervent kiss ever.

Caspian closed his eyes and gladly allowed his wife to take control for once.

He thought to himself while kissing her back with equal intensity, ‘This has got to be the best day of my life yet. She is the epitome of perfection. How did I get so lucky?’
