Chapter 191: Walk of Shame

Chapter 191: Walk of Shame

Arthur woke up at six o’clock as per usual. He looked to his side and saw the little woman peacefully sleeping hugging his arm and a smile bloomed in his face.

He placed a small kiss on her cheek and watched her smile sweetly. It seemed like she was having pleasant dreams and Arthur felt blissful watching her. Her hair was a mess, but her beauty was undeniable. Her face had a nice blush colour to it, making her seem fresh.

He was pleasantly surprised by how forward she was in bed last night and how alluring she was as she moved. He felt like the sweet symphony of her pleasured voice can beat the song of a nightingale at any given time. He wanted to be the only one hearing that.

He remembered how in the dinner last night, many men swirled around her, trying to get her attention. Too bad they didn’t know she has a thing for red haired, green eyed guys, who have chest hair and doesn’t wear clip-on ties.

She won’t change her mind and won’t cheat on him. But who knows what will happen in the future? What if someone sweeps her off her feet when he delays putting a ring on her finger? He can’t let that happen!

She was still sleeping deeply and he couldn’t help but run his finger through her cheek and he watched her flinch a little. She looked so pure and cute. It was like the vixen he bedded last night was someone else.

He loved it. He loved every part of her. Which man could deny his wife being a vixen in his bed? He greatly appreciated it. He even felt blissful that he got to snag her for him.

Suddenly he felt the urge to buy her something as a gift. She did give him her first time, took his first time, and made him happy after all.

Tucking her neatly in the duvet, he got up softly not disturbing her. She seemed tired and she’d need sleep.

He looked at his phone and saw a bunch of missed calls from Jordan with ten minutes interval from four o’clock.

Whoopsie! Forgot about the flight back!

He made a call to Jordan. "I’ll be ready in three hours." Saying this, he abruptly ended the call not willing to listen to the blabbering of the frustrated Jordan.

For now his mind was filled with thoughts of a gift. He knew there was a shop of a famous jewellery brand in the hotel itself. Or else he could get her a gift from elsewhere.

Still in his nightwear, he just grabbed a coat and opened the door. He got startled and almost punched the guy standing by the door.

"Sir Robert! Good morning! " he exclaimed bringing himself to smile, releasing his fist. There is always a Knight around his Iris. Just when that Cyrus was gone, this guy appeared.

Did he stand here the entire night?

"Mr. Sinclair, Good morning." Mr. Ed nodded. "Out for a jog?" he asked with a scrutinising look.

"Haha..." Arthur chuckled.

This guy! Who goes to jog with a coat, wearing PJs?

"I’m going to the store. Have a nice day," he wanted to walk away.

"Why don’t you accompany the Princess and I’ll get what you want?" Mr. Ed was polite, but Arthur could sense it was not a suggestion, but an order.

"I want to buy something personal," the curve in Arthur’s smile reduced and he took a step forward.

"I insist, Mr. Sinclair. No matter how personal it is, we cannot let you wander off alone now. There are some paps infiltrating the hotel and we don’t want our Princess’ good name to be spoilt," Mr Ed finally gave an explanation realising Arthur getting impatient.

Arthur paused his steps. Paps infiltrated? More like they were allowed to be infiltrated. He turned back and nodded at Mr. Ed and took out his phone wanting to check the tabloids.

" Please get in," Mr. Ed showed Arthur to the next room.

"What do you need?"

"Jewellery for Iris," Arthur scrolled through the phone. "An earring... No, a necklace... Something handmade," Arthur placed his order.

Mr.Ed made a call in his phone to bring the necklaces to his room. He could vaguely see scratch marks around his neck and he could guess what might have happened between the Princess and him.

For some reason Mr. Ed felt the urge to shoot this guy who took the innocence of his dear Princess. This guy, who is engaged to a other woman dared to bed his Princess. How brave of him! He deserves death.

" You used protection, right? " In the end, Mr. Ed held back his anger and asked in a straight way.

Arthur who was reading the headlines, felt his phone slipping from his hand.

Protection? Ah!!! We didn’t even think about it! Wait... Am I going to become a father now? It’s nice, right..? How cute would our child be?

"Did you?"

Arthur flinched hearing the loud bang on the coffee table.

Wait... She really cannot be pregnant right now! Oh no! What have I done!

Judging by Arthur’s reaction, Mr. Ed could conclude that he really didn’t use any protection.

"I specifically asked the staff to put two packets of condoms in Mr. Sinclair’s nightstand drawer. Surely, you couldn’t have used it all in one night, right?"

"Uh? Oh!" Arthur didn’t know what to say.

"How can you be this reckless? Is this a joke to you, Mr. Sinclair?" Mr. Ed could not hold back his anger anymore.

"Ugh! It’s like I’m dealing with a bunch of teenagers!" Mr. Ed mumbled and walked out of the room when another man in suits entered with a briefcase.

Arthur’s heart filled with turbulence realising his vacuous deed. How could he forget the most important thing.? Iris didn’t mention it either!

But then as the sales person showed him the necklaces,he was distracted and started looking for an apt gift for his Iris.

When Talia woke up half past six, she was a bit disappointed seeing the bed empty by her side. She sat up and felt like her body was being pressed under a ton of iron.

She remembered the intense happenings of last night and couldn’t help but blush with a smile in her face.

She looked at the grey hoodie she was wearing and she sniffed it and smiled as Arthur’s scent entered her nose. She wanted to see if Arthur is in the bathroom and tried to move, but felt like her legs have left her. She felt like her body has balls and chains attached to it and she couldn’t even move an inch.

Darn Fred!

She took in a deep breath and using all her strength, got up gritting her teeth. And that’s when she felt the soreness between her legs. She stumbled around as her legs seemed to have no strength and she couldn’t even keep her knees together.

She looked at her reflection on the mirror and almost screamed. Her hair was a mess, her lips seemed swollen, she was wearing an oversized hoodie with no underwear that barely covered her thighs and without being able to close her legs, she had to walk like a duck.

Is this the infamous ’walk of shame’ ?

She took each step with difficulty and looked for Arthur, but he was no where in the room. She was irritated.

Stupid Fred used me all night long and left me alone in the morning! What an insensitive idiot!

Wait... Did he leave without even telling me?

She looked at the time and was more angry thinking that he left for Esteria without even telling her.

She tried to stretch and wanted to see if her pain goes away, but it felt like her body was tied with invisible ropes here and there. She felt sore all over.

Ugh!

She sighed and walked back to the bedroom and saw his bag not packed yet.

He didn’t leave yet?

Without any thoughts, she started packing his clothes in his bag one by one. She didn’t want to lie back in bed, in case she fell asleep once more. She might not wake up the entire day.

As she was packing, she heard the door unlock and she turned to see Arthur walking into the bedroom.

Arthur paused his steps watching her packing his bag. Why does this scene look so fulfilling?

"Why aren’t you sleeping? Leave it, I’ll pack. Sleep for some more time. Aren’t you tired?" he asked walking towards her.

"No," she pouted, "Where did you go this early in the morning anyways?" she said and her heart slipped a beat when she saw the looming figure near her.

Gosh! This guy moves fast.

Before she knew it, his lips ended on hers and she pushed him away.

Even my lips hurt!

"What a heartless woman! She used me all night long and in the morning she pushes me away..." he tried to hug her and Talia glared at him.

What a shameless man!

"Iris, my love... What’s with that look? That look breaks my heart to a gazillion pieces... Please don’t push me away. Do you not love me? Or is that you only wanted my body and not my heart? My beloved, your gaze makes me -"

"Oh, shut up Fred!" Talia gritted her teeth. She looked at him with his hands spread out like an opera performer and in his face was a smug smirk.

Oh, how much she hated that smirk in his face!

"It’s not like you didn’t enjoy me," she gave a wide grin. She wanted to throw something at his face. But there was nothing in her hands and she was standing in the middle of the room with nothing close by. If she wanted to get something, she has to walk and she knew she can’t walk.

Suddenly she remembered that day when he said that he won’t let her walk the next time he meets her.

This guy planned this all!

She felt more angered.

"I did enjoy you," Arthur’s smirk got more prominent. He saw her getting red and he wanted to tease her more. This is the woman in his heart. He loved her so much, he wanted to tease her. "But who was the one who seduced me saying that she becomes a nymphomaniac around me and who was the one who rubbed all over me with her soft-"

"You shameless rascal! See if I ever get two feet near you! Idiot Fred! Stupid Fred!" Talia frowned and walked to his bag. She still had to pack.

She didn’t want to show him his blushing face. She did remember saying and doing all those things. She didn’t know what got into her last night to do all that.

But must he rehash everything like this? Petty!

"Did you bring your toiletries? Bring it here, stupid." she growled.

Arthur watched her turning her back towards him and he immediately noticed her red ears. How transparent is she? He knew she was embarrassed. And as he watched her walking literally like a penguin, he found her a little pitiful and decided not to tease her anymore.

Arthur stared at the little woman in that oversized hoodie trying hard to help him pack. The grey colour contrasted her pale skin pretty well, making it look so supple. The shoulders were drooping and the sleeves looked like there was only a wire inside it. Only her little fingers were peeping out making her look more cute. And it only covered right below her tush and her long legs were out and about.

He suddenly got reminded that there is nothing else underneath his hoodie. The only thing covering her is his hoodie, and she is naked otherwise. He felt his abdomen tighten.
