Chapter 244: A Passionate Night (II) - R18

As Kyren’s embrace enveloped her, lifting her and gently placing her on the bed, Anna’s heart carried a bittersweet ache. She longed to hear the words ’I love you’ from her husband, but the binding spell that constrained him made it impossible.

Yet, a glimmer of hope persisted within her, whispering that his love for her transcended the limitations imposed upon them.

"What are you thinking about? You’ve already put me in this state, yet your mind seems to be elsewhere," Kyren inquired, his touch tender and yearning for her attention when he noticed her drifted expression.

Anna’s hand gently caressed his cheek, her arm hooked around his neck.

"I’m only thinking about you. Lay down, Kyren. Let me take the lead tonight," she urged. Her desire to express her love and affection for him was evident in her words.

As Kyren complied, allowing Anna to guide their intimate exchange, a sense of nervous excitement surged through him.

"What are you going to do to me?" he asked, his anticipation mingled with a hint of uncertainty.

"It’s a surprise. Tonight, you’re going to let me do it my way," Anna declared in a note of playful determination.

"And if I don’t?" Kyren’s question hung in the air, his curiosity piqued by the prospect of relinquishing control to his wife.

Anna’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she leaned in, her lips curving into a smile.

"Then you’ll be punished for not being a gentleman," she warned, her eyes dancing with mischief.

"I’d love to be a bad man and receive the punishment," Kyren responded playfully.

"But you won’t be getting the surprise then," Anna teased, reflecting her eagerness to maintain the element of mystery.

"You’re already making me anxious," Kyren admitted.

"Don’t you want the surprise?" Anna inquired, her voice carrying a hint of seductive allure.

"I do! More than anything," Kyren confessed, his desire apparent in his response.

"Then, be a gentleman and listen to me," the princess instructed, her hands trailing over his body as she began to untie the knots of his tunic and took it off, revealing the grand duke’s finely sculpted upper body.

As she leaned in to kiss him, Kyren sought more, but Anna playfully retreated, leaving him helpless. When the grand duke raised his head, she gently pushed him back onto the pillow. Her kisses rained down from his chin to his neck and then to his chest, each touch igniting a flame of anticipation.

Kyren’s frustration grew as he groaned from the teasing, his hands trembling, and he gripped the sheet, holding back his desire. The urge to pull his wife into his arms and give in to his longing was overwhelming, but Anna’s caution held him back.

"Behave! You promised to be a gentleman," she reminded him, her words a gentle yet firm restraint.

The grand duke let out a long, exasperated breath.

"This is so cruel," he lamented, his impatience evident in his tone.

"You won’t be getting any surprise if you keep on being stubborn," Anna warned again, her mischievous demeanour masking her own growing anticipation.

"All right! I won’t. Just please... don’t tease me anymore," Kyren pleaded.

As Anna’s hands continued to explore his body, the grand duke’s yearning for more intimate touch and pleasure intensified.

"Be patient now. It won’t be too long for the surprise to come," Anna assured him.

With deliberate movements, she unbuckled Kyren’s belt and threw it to the floor. She then slowly untied his pants, pulling them down to leave him only in his white braies. At this point, she could feel his hardened manhood beneath the linen, a tangible testament to his desire.

"Anna..." Kyren’s voice was desperate, but Anna hushed him, her playful yet commanding tone urging him to surrender to the moment.

Kyren’s anticipation grew as he swallowed hard, feeling the soft touch of his wife as she removed his braies. He willingly lifted his lower body, allowing her to ease them off, just as she had done with his pants.

A moment of silence passed, and as he looked down, he felt her gentle touch, sending shivers of pleasure through his body. The slow, deliberate movements soon quickened, igniting a surge of pleasure within him.

"Ah... Anna!" he moaned with longing for her.

"Do you like it?" Anna inquired in a seductive allure.

"Yes... do more to me!" Kyren pleaded, his yearning for her touch evident in his impassioned plea.

To his surprise, Anna suddenly stopped, and then he felt it—the soft kisses and the wet trails of her lips on his manhood that drove him almost out of his mind. It was an experience he had never encountered before, and this was their first time engaging in such a way of intimacy.

As waves of pleasure washed over him, Kyren’s back arched, and his mouth fell open in ecstasy as he surrendered to the overwhelming sensations coursing through his body.

Anna continued with her actions, wanting to please her husband. Though it was her first attempt, she drew courage from Kyren’s evident enjoyment. This was a gesture of love and intimacy, and she wanted to ensure his happiness above all.

With each passing moment, her hesitation began to fade, replaced by a growing sense of empowerment and a desire to explore the depths of their connection. She focused on Kyren’s reactions, attuning herself to his pleasure and allowing her instincts to guide her movements.

As she continued, a wave of intense pleasure overflowed in Kyren, his moans filling the room, encouraging her efforts. Anna found herself immersed in the moment, her excitement blending with the desire to satisfy him.

Kyren’s breathing became laboured, and his moans got stronger as he approached the peak of pleasure.

"I can’t... I can’t hold back anymore!"

Anna tried harder to please him, knowing he was on the verge of release. However, she nearly lost her breath, so she pulled herself out to catch the air.

"Anna... argh!"

The warm liquid spilt out from Kyren’s shaft, along with his long moan. Anna’s guilt was evident as a tinge of remorse coloured her face. She felt in the wrong for the unexpected interruption at the last moment.

"I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to withdraw," she apologised.

Kyren’s chest heaved as he caught his breath, his body still tingling with the remnants of pleasure. He gently raised his upper body and cupped her cheek, his eyes filled with warmth and affection.

"No, my dear wife, you were excellent," Kyren reassured her, a smile spreading across his face. "This is truly something surprising and special."

Anna’s guilt dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief and gratitude. She was genuinely happy that Kyren appreciated her effort to please him.

The grand duke pulled his wife into a passionate embrace, their bodies pressing close together. Their lips locked in a tender and ardent kiss, symbolising their deep affection and desire for one another. His tongue pried her lips open, exploring her mouth and sucking her tongue.

As their kiss parted, Anna’s arms remained wrapped around Kyren’s neck, feeling a sense of comfort and security in his embrace. Her emerald eyes met his, and the depth of her love for him was unmistakable in that gaze. It radiated from her, an unwavering devotion that no one could ever take away.

"I know you’re not fully satisfied yet. Let me make it up to you," she said.

"Another surprise?" Kyren asked passionately.

Anna chuckled.

"If you like me on top."

"That’s interesting. We’ve never tried that pose. Let’s do it," he replied with a smile.

Kyren laid down and carefully positioned his wife above him. As it began, Anna felt a surge of pain and moaned. Her face contorted when his hardened part entered her to the brim.

The grand duke’s concern deepened as he saw the pained expression on Anna’s face. Immediately, his focus shifted from passion to worry.

"What’s the matter?" he asked as he heard her admission of pain.

Anna took a moment to catch her breath, her voice laced with discomfort.

"It... hurts," she admitted.

"We shouldn’t continue. Pulled yourself out and lay down," he instructed gently.

"But... Kyren..." Anna hesitated, torn between her desire to satisfy her husband and her own discomfort.

"You’re in pain, and I won’t proceed if it doesn’t bring pleasure to both of us," he declared firmly.

Gently, he lifted Anna’s body, carefully laying her beside him.

"I’m sorry again! I guess the whole thing turned into a disaster," she expressed with frustration, her disappointment palpable.

Anna couldn’t understand why she suddenly felt a surge of pain deep within her. It was as if the innermost part of her being had become incredibly sensitive and sore that when his hardness and length filled her entirely, she couldn’t accept him, despite her readiness. It was unlike the usual occasion.

Kyren’s eyes softened with affectionate reassurance.

"What are you talking about? This is one of the most beautiful things in my life! You’re so wonderful tonight," he responded, genuine admiration shining through his words as he stroked her hair gently.

Anna’s voice trembled with uncertainty.

"But I know you... You won’t be satisfied with just that!"

"Intimacy between husband and wife is not solely about s*xual act. Having you here and lying beside me is also an integral part of it. Holding you in my arms is enough to make me happy and satisfied."

Touched by his perspective, Anna’s eyes shone with gratitude.

"Thank you for understanding, Kyren. I’m just a bit sad because I wanted this to be a memorable moment for us before you leave."

A smile danced across Kyren’s lips.

"So, you were putting in extra effort tonight to remind me of you when I’m away?" he teased gently.

Anna nodded, making the grand duke chuckle warmly.

"Even if you don’t seduce me, I will always remember you. Our connection goes beyond physical moments, and you meant more than that to me."

Kyren’s touch and concern enveloped Anna, providing comfort. As they lay side by side, their eyes locked in a gentle gaze, he let his hand go down to her stomach, his palm softly rubbing the area below her navel.

"You’re experiencing pain. Is it almost that time of the month?" he inquired.

Confused by his question, Anna sought clarification, "Pardon?"

Kyren explained, "Your menstrual cycle. Rafe mentioned that women have it every month. It’s been more than a month since your last one, I believe. The last time you had it was during our journey to Gantz."

Anna’s mind wandered back to that memory, recalling the discomfort she experienced.

"Ah, I have irregular cycles. Unlike most women, it only occurs once every few months," she replied.

"I see... but it’s not impossible for it to come sooner than expected. So, if you start feeling bad cramps like before, please inform Rafe immediately. I specifically arranged for his chamber to be opposite yours so that he could provide quick treatment in case of any emergency," Kyren emphasised.

"You don’t have to go to such lengths. I’ll manage," Anna replied, touched by his care.

"Rafe is familiar with your condition, and having him nearby is crucial. Promise me that you’ll take care of yourself when I’m not around, and let the knights know if you need anything. They will fulfil your requests without hesitation," Kyren urged, his voice filled with conviction.

Anna’s heart swelled with gratitude for the grand duke’s thoughtfulness, realising the importance of having reliable support in her husband’s absence. With a nod, she made a solemn promise.

"I promise to take care of myself and seek help when needed. I won’t hesitate to rely on Rafe and the knights if necessary. Thank you, Kyren."

"You’re welcome. Now, let me clean you. I also need to freshen up before we sleep," Kyren offered.

Anna nodded, trusting him to take care of her. It had become a routine for him to attend to her after their intimate moments.

Kyren picked up a small, clean cloth and dipped it into the basin of water placed on the table near the bed. He rinsed it thoroughly before carefully wiping the princess’s body, ensuring her comfort and cleanliness. Once he finished, he took a moment to clean himself as well.

Turning back to the bed, Kyren discovered that Anna had already shut her eyes, exhaustion evident on her face. He settled beside her, pulling the blanket gently over their bodies.

"Good night, my sweet, innocent wife," he whispered softly, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. His gaze lingered on her serene expression, and he couldn’t help but smile with adoration.

Resting his head on the pillow, Kyren let his fingers tenderly stroke her head, soothing her even in her slumber. As the tranquillity of the night enveloped them, he allowed himself to drift into a peaceful sleep.

Time passed, and the awaited tomorrow came, bringing a new Chapter to their life.
