Chapter 529: It’s been a while (M)

"Is it really okay for you to not go anywhere?" I looked up at Natha while splashing the water around us.

After generously washing me in the shower, there was no way I wouldn’t invite Natha to the tub. It was easy to see that he needed some relaxation as much as I--if not more--so I demanded he join me in the bathtub.

Certainly not because laying against his chest felt better than leaning against the hard tub.

Anyway...

"You’re asking this now after demanding I stay?" he raised his brow and flicked my nose.

"Uhh..." I rubbed my nose while grinning sheepishly. It seemed like my greedy button couldn’t stay on all the time. "I mean...now that I think about it, the situation in Wrath must not be good, right?"

The fact that the Lord got poisoned meant there was also a spy in Wrath, right? They needed to time it right with when Natha planned to get back and everything. Wouldn’t it mean they need to fight two kinds of enemies at once? Now that I felt more relaxed and at ease, I could see the bigger picture better.

"It’s fine," Natha pulled me closer and stroked the mark on my ring finger. "You and Shwa are my utmost priority."

True to his words, Arta told me earlier that Natha had upgraded the security in the forest and around the shed. More guards were placed around the lake too. He even recalled most of his agents in the other realms to focus on solving this matter. It was almost as if he didn’t care about anything else, even the war.

But wasn’t the war also correlated highly with our security?

"I had given my seal to Eruha and Lesta, so they should be able to do something," he said.

"Oh, is that alright?"

Having the Lord’s seal meant they could do anything and made any decision as if it was Natha’s. Well, I guessed those two were part of Natha’s loyalists, so there was no way they would misuse the seal. Still...that was a bold move.

"It’s fine if they’re together," Natha brushed my wet hair back and massaged my temple--haa...what a heaven.

"Mm...you’re right," I muttered while closing my eyes and enjoying his massage.

It...it was definitely not because his massage felt nice that I agreed, okay? It was because Eruha and Lesta were the perfect combination--and not because they were a pair of Eternals. Eruha was academically smart, while Lesta was the street-smart type, so the both of them together would be fine, I guessed. They knew about my conditions, and Lesta knew Natha the longest among the vassals--since he was the one who was tasked to tail him in the past--so I knew they would make an appropriate decision while thinking about what Natha would want.

Mm, mm--alright, so I wouldn’t need to feel guilty about fulfilling my selfish wish and detaining Natha here by my side. "So...you’ll really be here until Shwa is born, right?" I sunk myself in his chest, looking up expectantly.

"Of course," he replied without hesitation. Even from this position, I could see his warm smile and moonlight eyes.

"What if it takes years?" I whispered cautiously.

"Then I won’t go anywhere for years."

"Won’t the citizens criticize you?"

"Who cares," he shrugged. "They can change the Lord for all I care. Then we just have to move the whole shed to our Lair and live peacefully."

I giggled and hugged his caging arm, letting out another blissful sigh as I enveloped myself in his scent and temperature.

But then, I heard his murmur against my hair. "I’m sorry..."

I frowned and straightened my back, turning around to face him and slapping his upped arm. "You’re doing it again!"

"No, it’s just..." he stroked my cheeks and smiled wryly. "I’m sad that you have to take care of them with your own hand."

"What are you talking about?" I pursed my lips and squeezed his cheeks. "Even if you were there, I’d still want to hit them with my own hands!"

Clicking my tongue, I clenched my fists that were resting above his shoulder as the leftover anger flared again. "How dare they think about taking Shwa away! Harming our child?! Not on my watch!"

He blinked at my spiteful tone, before chuckling and leaning forward and kissing my clenched jaw, unraveling the tension I kept there. "How fierce," he whispered. "How beautiful."

Right away, I felt a tingle spreading from my jaw to my neck, ticklish from the touch of his wet hair. I looked down and swallowed at how beautiful his silver eyes were, shimmering through the dark wet lashes. My nerves, which had been tensed from the fight and the talk, slowly unraveled beneath his gentle touch as he poured water over my skin.

His hands were cold, and the water was growing lukewarm. But my skin was scorching.

"H-hey..." I lowered myself to straddle him and asked in a stuttered whisper.

"Mm?"

Biting my lips nervously, I looked inside to check on my mana core. It seemed...okay. Again, I swallowed my nonexistent saliva. "Can...can we do it?"

He stopped pouring water over me and blinked. "...now?"

"I’m...I’m well enough now," I put my hands behind his neck, sliding myself in his lap. "It’s half full so...I can take it."

From his stiffened upper body, I could tell that he was hesitant. I knew--he must be worried about my condition. That was why we hadn’t touched each other ever since Shwa’s abrupt growth.

But I needed this. More than my body, my heart and soul needed this; needed him. I needed to be enveloped by him, in him. I needed to be filled with his presence and his scent. I needed to be unraveled by his everything.

"Nat..." I leaned down and kissed his forehead, his cheeks, his jaw. I breathed against his neck and whispered in his ear. "Please?"

What should I do to make him move? Should I grab his horn or some--

A gasp left my mouth when I suddenly felt his cold, large hands on my behind, gripping. Through my fluttering eyes, I could see his frown and clenched jaw. The warm breath that I felt against my neck was sharply in contrast with the cold fingers probing my entrance that got me filled the bathroom with moans.

"Ahh! Haa..." I grasped his hair and pressed my forehead on his shoulder as my lower body buckled and I lurched forward slightly.

Oh, Mother--just that simple touch got me shivering all over.

"Are you okay?" Natha grasped my back in surprise, and his probing hand stopped.

"Yeah! Yeah, don’t stop," I replied immediately, shaking my head and moving my hips to nudge his fingers. "It’s just--mmh...it’s been...so long--oh!"

Whether it was because of my request or not, his long and sturdy fingers continued their probing, slipping inside and giving me the sensation I almost forgot. Oh, Gods--it had been too long. "Feels...so good! Ah!" I hugged him tight to prevent myself from sliding off his lap. "Nat...your touch feels so good..."

"Haa...your moan--" he groaned against my neck, but his fingers were relentless.

"Mmh--Nat! I-I’m...I’m going to--"

Abruptly, the cold sensation disappeared from my lower back, together with the peaking pleasure. My eyes flew open in surprise, but before I could land any protest, he grabbed me tightly and suddenly stood up before getting out of the tub.

"Oh..." I blinked dazedly as a big towel draped over my body and the next thing I knew, my back was already on the soft mattress. "Haa..."

I took a stuttered breath as I stared at my husband’s beautiful face; water dripped from the edge of his hair and lashes, dripping along his curving horns and sturdy neck. His eyes, shimmering like moonlight, contained the suppressed heat that was blazing in my heart.

I felt breathless.

"Mmh! Ah!"

Without warning, he lowered his head and started to devour me; his lips traveled from my neck to my chest, all the way to my abdomen. The air left my lungs in a sharp gaze as he went even lower, and suddenly I couldn’t think of anything but his lips.

Oh, he was--oh! His lips...his mouth...down there...on my...oh!

I looked down in surprise--and that was a mistake. His mouth was on my entrance, but his gaze was on me; the pair of moonlight flashed sharply like the beast he was during our honeymoon. But his tongue was still cold, and I could feel it clearly down there.

"Nat!" my hands scrambled for purchase, grasping the towel and sheet beneath me as the heat pooling in my stomach burst out. "Oh, Nat!"

My vision grew blurry from the forgotten pleasure. How long...oh, how long had it been since I got some release? The sensation was maddening and yet...and yet it wasn’t enough.

His lips returned to my chest while his fingers scooped my release and used it to prob my inside further, scissoring and widening. It got my sensitive body even more impatient.

"Hu...hurry!" I grasped his hair and hit his shoulder, but all he did was mutter into my neck.

"It’s been a while, so..."

"It’s--it’s enough!"

"Sush," he silenced me with a kiss, and my protest melted into his cold mouth. My body, already putty from climaxing, became even more pliant. "Be patient for a bit, sweetheart."

"Nggh--"

I was nailed in place by his voice and his gaze--oh, his gaze; it never left me as his fingers moved. His arm was holding my back and shoulder, and he looked at me deep, deep, as if he was making sure I could take it further. I would like to plead, but my mouth could produce nothing but moans and whines, holding onto him tightly.

And then finally--finally he was inside me. "Aaah!"

Did I scream? Maybe, I had no idea. My head was covered in white that bloomed into flowers and fireworks.

"Haa--" I heard his growl right in my ears, reverberating in my skull. "Ugh--sweetheart..."

"Name!" I gasped and grasped his face. "My name!"

"Valen," he hissed my name through gritted teeth. "Valen," he poured my name between my lips. "Haa...Valen..."

Ahh...how wonderful. My mind felt like it melted into a blissful joy. I drowned myself in my name coming out of his mouth, in the pleasure that could only come from him.

At that moment, I forgot about the attack. At that moment, I forgot about all the bad things that happened to us.

At that moment, it was only us.
