Chapter 81: Sweet Compensation

Alaric narrowed his eyes at the mention of Gideon’s name.

"The Black Hunter?" he mumbled, seeking confirmation from Eve.

Eve smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Yes, the Black Hunter."

She didn’t want to lie to Alaric so she confessed.

"You’ve been in contact with him?" Alaric asked again, his expression unreadable.

Eve bit her lower lip and bobbed her head.

"He is my friend. He is a good man." Eve grabbed Alaric’s hand as if she were pleading with him not to get mad.

Alaric could only sigh deeply. "Alright. I should thank him for helping you."

Eve gasped as she remembered that Gideon was waiting for her outside the barracks.

"Alaric... the truth is... Gideon is the one who escorted me here. He is waiting for me outside. He is supposed to send me back to Stormholt Manor."

This time Alaric could no longer hide his unhappiness. He was jealous of Gideon.

"There is no need for him to send you home. I’m with you now. You are my wife so you are my responsibility," Alaric declared in his possessive tone.

"Can I go and tell him that I’ll go home with you?" Eve asked his permission.

But Alaric responded with a firm ’No’.

"Just write a note. I’ll ask my knight to relay a message to him. I won’t allow you to leave my quarters now."

Not wanting to upset Alaric, Eve followed his instruction. She wrote a message for Gideon. Then Alaric asked his knight to deliver Eve’s message to Gideon who was waiting outside the barracks.

"Are you not drunk anymore?" Eve asked Alaric curiously.

Alaric shook his head. "I sobered up completely when you mentioned divorce."

Eve scratched her nose guiltily. "I’m sorry." She gazed down, playing with her fingers.

Alaric’s lips twitched, concealing his smile. He felt so happy after clearing the misunderstanding between them.

Without further ado, Alaric strode toward his bedside table. He picked up the daisy flowers and the jade hairpin.

He returned to Eve’s side, handing over the flowers.

"I know it’s too late, but I’ve bought this for you." Alaric sat down next to her.

Eve was touched seeing the beautiful white daisies. This was the first time Alaric gave her flowers. She immediately brought the flower close to her face.

"They are beautiful. Thank you." Eve couldn’t stop herself from smiling. She appreciated Alaric’s sweet gesture.

"Here... the owner of the flower shop gave me this hairpin. She told me to give this to my wife." Alaric put the jade hairpin in her palm.

Eve’s eyes sparkled in delight as she held the jade hairpin as though it was a cherished treasure.

"I love the hairpin!"

Alaric smiled faintly, his hand reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"I’m glad you like them. Are you feeling better now? I’ve heard from Caleb that you got sick." Alaric’s voice was laced with genuine concern for Eve.

Eve bobbed her head. "I’m completely recovered now. Can’t you see? I gained a little weight."

Alaric paused for a moment, his gray orbs scanning her body. It was true that Eve gained weight. And he felt glad that she recovered quickly.

"Hmm. Let me check," Alaric said before snaking his arms around her body.

Eve was caught off guard when Alaric suddenly pulled her into a warm hug.

"Hmm. Indeed. You became more huggable now," Alaric said teasingly, making her blush.

He even buried his face on her neck, nuzzling his nose to sniff her sweet scent. "I miss hugging you like this."

Eve’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing his words. Alaric was so expressive tonight.

"I’ve missed you too," Eve responded in a low voice.

"Can I have you tonight?" Alaric whispered in his sensual voice, his hands gently squeezing her body.

He couldn’t control his longing and desire for her. He wanted to make love with his wife tonight. He yearned to kiss and touch her... claiming her.

Eve gulped hard before nodding in response. She gave Alaric her consent.

After getting her approval, Alaric’s gray orbs glinted with desire. Without further ado, he cupped her face, sealing her lips with his mouth. He kissed her tenderly at first, brushing her lips.

Eve could only close her eyes, going with the flow. She could feel his tongue urging her to open her mouth. Then she obliged.

In a brief moment, Alaric plunged his tongue inside her mouth, licking and tasting her. His hands began pulling the strap of her chiton dress, exposing her upper body.

As Alaric’s mouth feasted on her lips, his palm captured her protruding twin peaks, kneading and fondling them.

Eve moaned inside his mouth when Alaric squeezed her breast simultaneously.

He released her mouth only to trail wet kisses from her jawline down to her neck. His lips nibbled on her flesh, his tongue licking her skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps all over her body.

Before she knew it, Eve just found herself lying on the bed naked. Alaric’s towering figure loomed over her. He paused for a moment, removing his upper clothes, and revealing his muscular body.

Eve reflexively reached out to caress his body. Her fingers gently traced the old scars from his chest to his stomach.

Alaric could only bite his lip, allowing Eve’s hand to roam around his body. Her warm palms brought wonderful sensations, making him hard and throbbing.

"Did you bleed so much? Did it hurt a lot?" Eve asked him curiously. The scars were proof of Alaric’s deadly battles. He was cut and wounded several times.

"The physical pain is tolerable, Princess..." Alaric softly said, caressing her cheeks. He could see the worry in her emerald eyes.

"Please don’t get hurt anymore..." Eve mumbled.

Alaric captured her hands, bringing them closer to his face. He started kissing the back of her palms.

"Don’t worry, Princess. My friend once told me that I won’t die easily." He joked, remembering Caleb’s words.

Eve pouted her lips and pinched Alaric’s face. "Stop saying the word DIE."

Alaric let out a husky chuckle. "Forgive me, my princess... I didn’t mean to ruin your mood. So allow me to compensate you."

After saying those words, Alaric bent over, his mouth capturing her breast. Eve yelped at the feel of his mouth sucking her crown. She arched her back, her fingers tugging his hair tightly.

"Uhmm," Eve tried to suppress her moan, her cheeks flushed from shyness.

Alaric was sucking her bare breast right now as if he was milking her away. He gently spread her legs as he positioned himself in between them.

Teasing her further, Alaric showered small kisses on the side of her breasts alternately. Eve shuddered from pleasure. Her moans echoed inside the quarters.

Her soft moans made him more aroused. This was the first time he had heard her moans.

His palm massaged and rubbed her breast while he sucked and licked her other nipple. Using his free hand, he caressed her flat stomach, savoring her smooth skin.

"Uhmm, Alaric," she moaned his name, closing her eyes as she writhed on the bed.

"Hmm," Alaric hummed. "I’m here. I will make you feel good as my compensation for making you cry." He gently kissed her nipples.

In a brief moment, his fingers found her core, sliding up and down her folds.

"Aaah~" she moaned again, instinctively parting her legs wider to give him more access. She loved the feeling of being touched and caressed down there.

Alaric’s eyes darkened with burning desire. Eve’s moan was driving him mad. His arousal intensified further. His growing erection was visible on his underpants.

As much as he wanted to claim her, he felt the need to pleasure her first.

His fingers could feel her hotness and wetness. His thumb pinched and rubbed her swollen bud, soliciting another loud moan from Eve.

As his fingers played with her sex, his mouth continued licking and sucking her crowns. He rolled his tongue over her nipple, snaking his tongue around it before claiming and sucking it again with his lips.

As he sucked harder, his fingers assaulted her core, fingers swirling around and stimulating her pulsating apex.

"Does it feel good, Princess?" He whispered in her ear as he thrust his index and middle finger inside her, coating them with her juices.

Eve just responded with a loud moan, biting her lips while rolling her eyes. She even bucked her hips as Alaric’s fingers began sliding in and out of her wet entrance.

Her moan was sweet music in Alaric’s ear. He didn’t want to stop so he continued stimulating her to solicit more moans from her.

He sucked her breasts alternately as he continued pumping his fingers in and out.

Eve moved her waist, pushing her hips upward to meet his finger’s thrust. Her head was thrashing side to side while her chest was heaving up and down.

Alaric could sense that Eve was almost reaching her climax. Her eyes were tightly shut as she continued to moan.

He bit her nipple hard and pumped his fingers faster as he let her ride her orgasm. Soon, Eve’s body shook and convulsed, warm liquid oozing out of her core.
