Chapter 197: Chapter 197

Time passed and without Killian having to help her, Amelia had fallen asleep with her on her own. In the middle of them talking, Killian realized her voice got quieter and eventually she stopped replying to him. It was either the exhaustion from their intimacy or her finally having a moment to rest after a busy day.

Killian wasn’t in need of the rest like Amelia was as time was different for his kind. He found himself unable to leave the bed to at least get something to drink. Amelia’s head was pressed against his chest, her left arm on his stomach, and her left leg thrown over his legs.

One of the two of them would be quite embarrassed in the morning while the other would find full enjoyment in it. Amelia had laid her head against his chest once before when she was deep in sleep and looking for something to get close to but it was never like this.

Killian stroked her hair, listening to the sound of her breathing and the pace of her heart. He occasionally stopped each time she moved in case he had accidentally woken her up but she was just getting closer to him.

In the silence of their room, he heard the howls of Loki and Asura which indicated their return to the castle and they would most likely make their way to this room. Normally Loki would be elsewhere but since he was getting attached to Amelia, Loki would try to search for her.

Killian no longer had a choice to get out of bed to deal with the warmth in their room and feed the wolves before they attack someone. He was perfectly fine with the heat but Amelia was sweating and sooner or later it would wake her up.

He carefully picked up her hand which was comfortably on his chest and placed it in between the both of them. Killian did the same with her foot and the last thing he needed to do was move her head. He grabbed an extra pillow and as he shifted his body to the side, he slide the pillow under her head.

"Finally," Killian muttered, getting off the side of the bed. Before he got take three steps forward, he turned to look at the bed and just as he sensed Amelia had woken up in a split second.

"Where are you going?" Amelia asked, covering her mouth with her hand as she yawned. She continued to lay on her side looking at Killian who was not too far away from the bed. "Are you trying to leave me when you promised you wouldn’t?" She looked up at his face to avoid the lower half since he was standing naked before her.

"I am going to open the windows to bring in cool air and feed the wolves. They are in the castle and unless I move now they will create a hassle. Asura will since she is not fond of hunting like Loki is and gets aggressive when she is hungry. I am not leaving you," Killian said.

"Why couldn’t you have just tapped me and said you wanted to feed the wolves? I would have gotten up and opened the windows myself. What if I had woken up to your side of the bed empty?" Amelia sat up from the bed, pulling a blanket to hide herself. She wasn’t as like Killian to not mind being naked.

"You would trust me and think I am coming right back," Killian replied, going back to sit on the bed beside her.

"In other times, yes. However, I cannot forget that you almost killed my cousin and there are a few people at our wedding you would also love to kill. That is why I cannot trust where you are going tonight because you might try to kill someone behind my back. I do believe you are going to feed the wolves right now," Amelia said, showing that there was a bit of trust in him. "This also has to do with the fact I have come to hate waking up alone."

"The last part was all you needed to pull me back into bed with you. We went all around the world just for you to say you like when you wake up and see me beside you. You are sweating from the heat," he touched her bare stomach.

Amelia flinched from his touch and looked in the other direction.

"We’ve gotten as close as we could and yet you still shy away from my touch."

"I am still getting accustomed to how close we are now. That you can touch me as you please. Only the women who have taken care of me have seen me like this. Do not take your hand any lower," Amelia said when his hands started to trail down from her stomach.

"So I am free to go up?" He mused, taking his hand up to her breast. "Do you still feel sore?"

"It is just a strange fuzzy feeling as if I can still feel you inside of me but it is not bad. It is not as bad as the pain I was told of. They are quite horrible storytellers or maybe it was your gentleness that made it better. I don’t mind your touch but could you please open a window? It is becoming too hot. Why is our room like this? Normally it is warm but not like this," Amelia said.

This was the first night she sweated this much in her sleep and it wasn’t the sweat from when her and Killian were tangled up in each other.

"The castle only gets really hot when the door to the underworld is left open for a really long time. We must have a guest in the castle or like I said, the devil and his wife will soon come to meet you. The room will cool down sooner or later," Killian explained, opening the windows to bring in the cold air of the mountain. "You should sit in water to help you cool down. I can join you so you would not be lonely."

"That has nothing to do with you caring about me being lonley. You just want any excuse for us to be alone in a tub together. Do not underestimate how well I have come to know you, Killian," Amelia replied, seeing right through his fake concern. "Could you please put on pants instead of walking around naked?"

"I have not heard you reject the offer. I plan on taking a little soak once I return from feeding Loki and Asura. You should make up you mind by then," he vanished before her eyes, leaving her to seriously consider his offer which was too sweet to pass up on.

Amelia rested back on the bed, finding it somewhat amazing how he had accidentally woken her up and was trying to get her in a tub with him. She tapped her fingers on the softness of the bed as his offer was starting to tempt her.

Amelia touched her forehead and sighed. "You had sex with him twice and now you are like a fool smitten by his touch," she muttered, enternally groaning because of what she had become or for the most part, what she had become too quickly. "What would my younger self think?"

Amelia pictured a younger version of herself standing at the edge of the bed shaking her head with a disappointed expression. Her younger self would never understand how wrong they were about the maids acting like lovesick fools after sleeping with someone they were fond of. She was very wrong about how attached you could get after sex.

Amelia pulled the blanket over her head to hide and wait for when Killian would return, expecting an answer from her.

Minutes passed by leading Amelia to wonder if Killian was hunting and killing whatever it was he planned to feed the two wolves. Had he forgotten she was waiting for him or was he not in the castle?

"How could he ask for us to share a tub and then leave me all alone?" Amelia spoke to herself as she rolled to the egde of the bed to search for the garment Killian had tossed to the side earlier.

She found it far out of reach from the bed where she had no choice but to get off the bed. "I swear when I find him we will be inviting everyone back attend a funeral," she grumbled, getting off the bed with the blanket covering the front of her body in case Killian had excellent timing to show up now.

As she bent down to pick up the clothing, Amelia looked up in the direction of the bathroom after hearing a noise coming from there. "Killian?" She called, thinking it must be him returning to put water in the tub.

Her nerves were at an all time high from fear of someone else being in the room.

"Calm your heart, Amelia. It is me," Killian opened the bathroom door.

Amelia sighed in relief but quickly became angry with him for not alerting her of his return. "You!" She marched up to him.
