Chapter 747: Stop Thinking

"Can you stop thinking about that, even just for five minutes?" Dora asked, her tone light as she poked at the takeout container in front of her. She popped another chicken nugget into her mouth, closing her eyes as she savored the flavor, chewing slowly as if she had all the time in the world. Kael couldn’t help but smile at the sight of her

But the smile faded as his thoughts darkened. He frowned and set his fork down. "How are you not thinking about it?" His voice was edged with frustration now. "Aren’t you even a little worried? You’re sitting here, eating nuggets like it’s no big deal, and I might be responsible for killing someone. Does that not faze you at all?"

Dora opened her eyes and rolled them dramatically. She leaned back in her chair, taking her time before responding, clearly amused by his anxiety. "You really want me to stop enjoying this perfectly crispy, tender, and ridiculously well-seasoned chicken," she said, holding up a nugget like it was a prized trophy, "just to freak out over something that may not even be true? Seriously, Kael?"

Kael stared at her, bewildered. "I don’t understand how you can be so calm about this."

Dora sighed and put down the contained before looking up," Because you’re so worked up about it. I told you, Kael, if you want to tell me something about this entire matter then tell me. If you don’t want to say it then don’t. It is entirely upto you.I don’t mind being kept in suspense."

Kael sighed and shook his head," I want to tell you but I can’t. I promised someone. And I cannot break their promise without taking permission."

"So, don’t break the promise! Come on, come here and break the seal for this... I want to try out the rice next."

"Aren’t you even jealous that I might have had someone in my life that I am protecting even now? Hiding things from you?"

Keal thought back to all those things that he’d been told about women being in love. How they were clingy, always jealous and possessive. Wanting to interfere in every aspect of the man’s life. Why was Dora not like this? In fact, she was none of the above!

Scowling, he questioned her," Why are you not jealous?"

There she was, enjoying her food again! She looked up at his question and Kael blinked. She looked like a cute little dumpling with her cheeks all puffed up...

As she chewed, he could not help but stare at her face. He wanted to kiss her, he realized. Instead of worrying over this matter and even arguing with her, he wanted to kiss her thoroughly.

Finally, she asked," Why would I be jealous? Any kind of a relationship you had was in the past. Do you have such feelings for anyone else?"

"Of course not."

"Then there is nothing for me to be jealous about, Kael. Now, in the future if you were to care for someone, hide things from me, then I might care... And I am warning you that you might not like it then."

Kael smiled then and leaned forward, quickly licking the small drop of the gravy that clung to the corner of her lips and nodded," Okay. I’ll take that. Thank you, Dora. I’ll just tell you this... The entire matter about her... has nothing to do with me, okay? It involves another prince."

"Rafe? The only other prince is Rafe, right? So, whatever happened has something to do with Rafe but you are shouldering the blame? Tell me more..."

Kael shook his head and mock glared at her," Rafe has nothing to with anyone’s death, okay? And why are your eyes suddenly sparking with a light of curiosity? Hmm? So, as long as it was me, you couldn’t be bothered but if it is Rafe, you want more?"

Dora giggled," That is because when it comes to you, it is personal. But with Rafe... it involves tasty tea¹..."

Kael shook his head and grabbed another take out container and started to eat heartily, feeling his stomach settle.

Dora smiled when she watched his appetite return and then turned back to her phone. Whatever the matter, her people would find out the reality of the matter, if need be....

Kael and Dora stared at the three unopened boxes of take out and groaned. What had they been thinking? Getting so much food. Now the two of them were too full to move that they’d simply cuddled onto the couch with him spooning her from behind.

Kael nuzzled her neck, breathing in deeply, feeling contented though it had nothing do with the chicken.

His hand slid over her belly before moving to settle on her breast. "What are you doing?", she asked almose sleepily.

"Just exploring."

Dora giggled and he found himself hardening at the sound. There was something magical in this. "Something else is also interested in exploring, huh?"

Without a word, Kael caught her hip and pulled her closer between his thighs, throwing his leg over her hip," He’s just looking for some warmth..."

"Is he? Then what is keeping him from seeking it?" Dora asked softly, pushing herself against it."

Kael groaned and stopped her from moving against him," Stop... I’m too full to move... I think we should go slow..."

"Are you already an old man, Kael Ignis?" Dora taunted and he looked down at her, moving her with a slight move of his hands so that she was not facing him, her face buried in his chest. "Are you really going to taunt me into having se* with you? Because, let me tell you, it is working remarkably well."

Before Dora could laugh again, Kael leaned down and caught her lips in a deep kiss. His hands continued their slow exploration of her, tracing every line and every curve, teasing her with light touches all over as she tried to move closer to him...
