Chapter 213 - Why Are You So Nice Always?

Adrianna continued to create more lightning in the same direction. It caught the attention of the wizard and he looked up. He narrowed his eyes and then looked at his broom that rushed to his side. He mounted it and the broom dashed in the direction of the lightning. 

Adrianna waited for another two minutes as she continued to cast spells from her hiding space before whispering, "Now!" 

Fleur instantly created a portal and all of them quickly entered it. All of them entered Dmitri's bedroom, thoroughly drenched. Fleur exited the room, leaving the couple alone. Dmitri moved closer to Adrianna to help her get her clothes off as she had a fever the day before and he wanted her to take a rest, but she turned away and went to the bathroom. Dmitri curled his hands into fists and clenched his jaw. She was too arrogant at times. Angrily, he took off his clothes and threw them onto the floor. 

He entered the bathroom to find her almost asleep in the bathtub after filling it up with warm water. Dmitri looked at her tired face and slowly entered the tub with as little noise as possible. Since the tub was large enough for five people to comfortably bath together, Adrianna couldn't feel the movement and continued to doze off. Dmitri moved closer to her and sat down. Gently, he lifted her up onto his lap, and she opened her eyes. She started to move away out of protest, but he tightly held her waist. "Don't," he said. She sighed and sat back in his lap. 

He looked at her tired face and started to stroke her hair. "Let me give you a nice bath. You must be tired…" 

Adrianna lowered her head. He lifted her chin and said, "Are you that angry with me?" 

She turned away. 

"Okay. In that case, stay quiet while I give you a bath." 

Dmitri started giving her a nice shoulder massage. Despite her wishes, Adrianna bucked under his ministrations and relaxed. She left her body loose as she slid into the water. Dmitri turned her around to massage her back. Adrianna blocked out every other sound that surrounded them. Dmitri was so gentle with her that it was like a treat. She remembered her childhood days when her nanny would give her a nice bath during hot summer days. All the tension that she had built up during the day melted into the water. "Why are you always so nice?" she asked. 

Dmitri stopped and pulled her back against his chest. "I am just doing what I want to for you…" He chewed on her ears. 

"Ah! I am too tired," she said, thinking he wanted to have s.e.x with her. 

"I know that darling… I am also tired… Let's call it a day."

Adrianna nodded. They both got out of the bathtub and dried themselves off. Dinner had been served to them in the room while they were in the bath. They had it in silence. 

Adrianna didn't have the energy to wear anything, so she just went to bed after removing the towel she was wearing. Sleep came like the falling of an axe. She didn't try to fight it. In fact, she couldn't fight it anymore. All she wanted was to lay down and be enveloped by the warmth of silence. Dmitri covered her with the blanket and then joined her under the blanket as he slipped his hands around her waist and pulled her towards him. He surrounded her with his warmth as he wrapped his legs around hers. His weight was welcoming and Adrianna slumbered off. 

During the night, when she would shudder, he would tighten his hold on her. Finally, he just pulled her on top of him and they slept like that until morning. 

Adrianna woke up early in the morning with a start. It was raining outside and the rain was lashing against the windows. There must have been a lightning storm somewhere in the surrounding forest, from which the noise had startled her awake. She noticed that she was lying on top of Dmitri. He was wearing a white shirt and pajamas while she was n.a.k.e.d. She looked at his face and slowly rolled off of him. Dmitri stirred a little and turned to the side, going back to sleep. 

Adrianna got out of the blanket and got herself ready. She left early for the wizard kingdom before Dmitri woke up. 

When Dmitri woke up, he moved his hands to his side and searched for Adrianna in his sleep, but there was no one. He opened his eyes and removed the blanket to get out of the bed. He looked for her in the bathroom and went downstairs, but she was nowhere to be seen. "Has she left?" he muttered. He became angry with her for being so impulsive. He had gone back to the bedroom and had crashed onto the bed with puffy cheeks when his gaze fell on a note. It was from Adrianna, addressed, "Dmitri, my love."

He hurriedly opened it.
