Chapter 1159: Chapter 70 : On the Verge of Melting

*Daphne*

“Just ask one of the guards to call me and I’ll make sure you get anything else you’d like,” I told Eva in a low voice, smiling gently at her.

Eva nodded and she actually gave me a small, grateful smile, which caused my heart to stutter slightly in surprise. This situation was so strange for several reasons. The young woman who I once thought was going to kill me was now a guest in my home.

Well, a guarded guest–there would be palace guards stationed right outside her bedroom door as well as around her window that looked over the palace gardens.

“I mean no disrespect, Princess Daphne,” said Pepper.

Eva and I turned to look at her, and the petite girl twisted her small hands in the skirt of her uniform nervously.

“But, I should be the one who Miss Eva calls if she needs anything.”

I shared an amused look with Eva before turning to face Pepper. “Very well, but I would like to be informed as well if Miss Eva needs anything,” I said firmly.

Pepper bowed in acknowledgment, but I could tell she wasn’t happy with the command.

I was happy to see that Eva was given one of our most comfortable guest rooms with a large bed that had rose-colored bedding and matching furniture. This room also had a private bathroom, which despite Pepper’s protests, I checked personally to make sure was filled with necessities like towels and washcloths.

Eva glanced nervously at the guards who were in the room with us, but she was able to look up at me and giggle somewhat lightly. “Things really took a strange turn, didn’t they, Princess?” she asked, smirking openly at me. “Never thought in a whole millennia that I would be back here as one of your guests.”

I grinned, giggling as well at the irony of it all. I was relieved to see that Eva seemed to be trusting me as well. She had been unsurprisingly cold toward me, even after we started to work together to save Rion and return to the palace.

It was to be expected, and I was pleased by the improvements in our relationship already. We were cracking jokes to one another now. I never thought that would happen.

Rion stood by the closed door, his arms crossed and his expression uneasy. It sure didn’t help that there was a tough-looking guard standing right next to him, watching his every move. I shot the guard a hard look and he backed away from Rion slightly.

I couldn’t wait for us to be together, and for everyone else to know about it so that the guards wouldn’t constantly be on our tails.

Speaking of announcements, I thought about my parents getting ready to announce that the White Queen’s powers had vanished. I flinched, wondering how the kingdom would react. And who could the special women that Mother spoke of be?

A memory from my years as a teenager surfaced about a collection of special schools that was talked about often. I didn’t know much about the education system, only that gifted girls were sent there in order to learn their craft.

Would it be women from those schools who would be at my parents’ side when they made the announcement?

“Is something wrong, Daphne?” Eva asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.

I looked up in surprise, not realizing that I had begun to space out. Rion and Jasper were also staring at me with confusion growing on their faces.

I shook my head. “It’s nothing,” I said, speaking just to Eva. I took a deep breath and straightened. “I suppose I’m just weary from our travels. I hope you sleep well and–” I paused briefly before smiling at her. “I’m really glad you’re here.”

Eva’s thin eyebrows went up, clearly surprised by my sudden bout of warmth, but she nodded and returned the smile with an amused one of her own. “Thank you, Princess. I’m glad to be here as well.” She looked wearily at the guards by the door. “Despite the fact that I’ll have an audience while I sleep.”

I shot the guards a sharp look. “They won’t be inside of your room to watch you,” I said firmly. Then I looked directly at the guards. “Will you?”

“No, Princess,” one said, but he straightened and narrowed his eyes. “But even an ounce of suspicious activity and we will be forced to act and inform His Majesty.”

I turned so that Eva could watch me roll my eyes.

I bid Eva and Jasper, who was going to be Eva’s guardian for the night, goodnight before Rion and I turned to go. Rion stepped forward and tousled Eva’s hair playfully before shooting Jasper a look.

“Watch over her,” he said, his eyes shifting briefly to the guards.

Jasper nodded meaningfully. “I will.”

I only kind of understood Rion’s paranoia. He still didn’t fully believe that my parents were willing to allow Eva to prove herself. The older brother in him probably worried that Eva would be thrown in prison in the middle of the night, despite the king and queen’s words.

I was relieved when we exited Eva’s room and there were no guards watching over Rion and me. My parents must have told them that Rion didn’t need to be watched. I was surprised that my parents weren’t being overly cautious, but extremely grateful as well.

I gently took Rion’s hand and he looked at me with dark gray eyes. He glanced down at our joined hands and one side of his mouth went up in a tiny grin.

We headed to my room together and I marveled at how normal it felt and that we currently weren’t on the run, narrowly escaping deranged fake fiances or greedy pirates.

I was still trying to wrap my head around it when we got to my bedroom and I pushed the door open, tugging Rion into the large space. I was momentarily self-conscious about the lavish room with its large canopy bed and frilly plush comforter.

I glanced at Rion, fully expecting to see him shaking his head or chuckling with amusement at all my belongings. It must look like the room of a spoiled princess.

But Rion wasn’t looking at anything in the room.

His dark gray eyes were looking only at me.

I felt my cheeks heat up under his intense gaze. I suddenly felt shy, which was terrible timing since this was the first time we could be together uninterrupted, with nothing threatening our safety.

“My parents have given us their blessing,” I blurted out, feeling like I needed to fill the silence that was stretching between us. I bit my lip as I looked up at him. “They’ve assured me that if we want to be together, they won’t stand in our way.”

Rion’s eyes tightened as if he didn’t quite believe my words even though he desperately wanted to. I was certain that his skepticism would dissipate once my mother’s announcement was made, but I honestly didn’t want to think about that at the moment.

“Is that so?” he said in a low voice.

I nodded firmly. “And even if they didn’t, it wouldn’t matter because I’m going to do what I want.” The words sounded kind of childish to my ears and I blushed further.

Rion just chuckled, closing the small space between us and putting his fingers beneath my chin so I was looking straight into his heated expression. “And what is it that you want, Princess?”

I wanted this–Rion and me, uninterrupted and alone.

I took his free hand and squeezed it tightly. “I have everything that I want right here.”

Rion’s hand rose to cup my cheek. I leaned into his touch, enjoying the warmth of his hand. He chuckled. “Well, I don’t have everything I want, but I intend to remedy that tonight.”

“What do you want?” I asked, my voice quaking slightly.

“You,” he said simply, but his eyes were deep and burning.

“You have me,” I said, my breathing quickening.

“No,” he said, shaking his head. His hands slid to my hips and he gripped them firmly. “I want all of you, Daphne. I intend to really make you mine tonight.”

My mouth formed a little “o” as I processed the meaning behind his words and his actions.

My heart started to pound hard in my ribcage, rattling my teeth a little.

Rion’s hands went to the button of his dark shirt. He undid them with quick precision, exposing the tanned skin of his chiseled chest. “Strip, Daphne. Now.”

I shivered at the order but rushed to obey, sliding my dress off of my shoulders, my cheeks brightening as more and more of my skin was exposed to his gaze.

Rion slipped out of his shirt and allowed it to drop to the floor just as my dress became a puddle of fabric around my feet. I wrapped my arms around myself once I was completely naked, watching hungrily as Rion slipped out of his pants and underwear.

I swallowed thickly as my eyes raked up and down his naked body, to every muscle and curve of his smooth skin.

He growled suddenly and grabbed my wrists, lowering my arms to my sides. “I’m claiming you tonight, Daphne,” he said. “Making you completely mine. That means that you don’t get to hide anything from me.”

I drew in a sharp breath but nodded my head in understanding, already feeling the heat growing between my thighs.

Rion tugged me over to my bed and with a firm gentleness that only he was truly capable of, lowered me onto the mattress before climbing on top of me. He moved with the precision of a wild cat, but I could sense that he was impatient as he crushed his mouth to mine.

I gasped and he immediately took advantage, delving his tongue between my lips, eliciting a deep moan from me. My toes were already curling with anticipation as Rion’s thick cock grazed the skin of my stomach.

He smirked and lowered his mouth to my neck, nipping gently and lining up his length to my slick entrance.

I was gasping and moaning, bringing my clammy hands up to Rion’s firm chest and to his broad shoulders, trying to pull him even closer to me than he already was.

His mouth was still on my neck, and I felt him open his jaw wide before he sunk his teeth into my sensitive flesh. Right as I felt the firm, but passionate bite, Rion slid his cock into me in one fluid motion.

I threw my head back against the bedspread, pushing my chest out at the overwhelming sensation of Rion officially marking me as his while filling me completely. I cried out in complete ecstasy as he rode me hard and long while keeping his teeth against the skin of my neck.

Every fiber in my body seemed to be on fire as Rion and I became one in more than just the traditional sense. We were officially bound together by a tether that was unbreakable. I shuddered at the thought that any other shifter who came into contact with me would know that I had been claimed as someone else’s mate.

My eyes began to fill with tears as I was brought to the most overwhelming and passionate orgasm possible. Rion gritted his teeth as he looked deeply into my eyes, and it was clear that he was nearing the edge as well.

I shrieked and shook around his throbbing cock right as he finished, coating my insides with his seed.

We were both panting with exertion when Rion pulled out of me, but he stayed bent over me, my body trapped between his strong limbs. He was looking down into my face with warm gray eyes that looked on the verge of melting.

“You’re mine now,” he murmured.

Then he dropped a sweet, gentle kiss to my forehead, to the tip of my nose, and then to my eager lips.

Finally, he kissed the mark on the side of my neck that now officially claimed me as his.
