Chapter 276: Chapter 276

"I miss the awkward dinners with Agramon and having to listen to Lucifer talk about himself," Amelia said as she took off her necklace.

Somehow, dinner ended peacefully and she had not argued with anyone. Her grandmother did not try to speak to her about the temple or leaving Killian again and Fraser was surprisingly quiet. It meant that he was plotting something probably foolish but he thought it was a good idea.

Amelia couldn’t think of anything else, but falling down onto her bed and going to sleep. Tomorrow was a big day and she had to be well rested since there was a big role she had to play in taking over the Blackwell castle.

Killian, on the other hand, did not need the rest. He could stay awake for as long as he wanted to keep an eye on what Fraser or anyone else was plotting.

"You seemed to have enjoyed dinner," Amelia said, watching him pour himself wine he had snuck away from the table.

"I happen to like it when families feud with each other. It is more entertaining than when strangers do it," Killian answered. The Blackwells were just as he had left them. Trying to kill each other. There wouldn’t be much for Amelia to do tomorrow. "I look forward to the night being eventful."

Amelia picked up the dress she wore from the floor after it fell because she had taken it off. "Did you hear something? Is someone planning on attacking us?" She asked. She wouldn’t be surprised if a fight were to break out in the middle of the night between the North and Blackwells.

Amelia and Killian seemed to be an easy target since they were not here with many guards so there would be that one man in court to convince Fraser to get rid of Killian now or it might be Fraser’s bright idea.

"I just want to sleep," Amelia said, sitting down at the edge of her bed. All the fighting and arguing could wait until tomorrow when she would be in the mood for it.

"So sleep," Killian replied, not seeing what was keeping her awake. Nothing would happen to her with him around and when he was in the mood to kill someone. "I will stay awake if that will help you sleep."

"I was hoping that you would join me in bed. Not for that," Amelia added when Killian gave her a look. Being intimate with him would only make her more tired than she already was and she might get up late in the morning.

Amelia didn’t dare considering only one time since Killian could convince her for more without asking. To not set herself up, Amelia was going straight to bed, but she wanted Killian in bed with her. She could hold him and should he move because there was trouble coming their way, she would wake up.

"Will you join me?" Amelia asked, tapping the empty spot beside her.

It was an offer Killian could not refuse especially when Amalie sat without many clothes. He started to think of a way to convince her to sleep naked. Surely there was some benefit to sleeping without wearing something. Well, other than the benefit he had in mind.

Killian put down the cup of wine before he could drink even a sip. There was something much better for him to taste sitting on the bed. Killian stood up and stalked his way over to the bed where Amelia awaited him. "Am I to keep my hands to myself?"

"You can hold me but nothing more than that. I want to wake up early in the morning to enjoy every bit of time we have together before you must leave. Do not suggest one time since when you get started you forget what you promised. Just lay with me and hold me. It is more intimate than you think," Amelia said since she liked the feeling of his strong arms around her.

There were times when she felt like his arms would squash her, but it was such a good place to be that she would not mind it happening. She could die peacefully by letting his arms squash her.

Killian noticed her cheeks turning a light shade of pink. Whatever she thought of now, it had to be dirtier than usual since the color appearing on her cheeks was more evident than normal now. "What are you thinking of? We are not to have any secrets from each other," he said, wanting to hear it so he could satisfy whatever she desired.

Amelia felt like someone daydreaming about their crush. There were some thoughts about Killian that she would rather keep to herself. Amelia turned around to crawl further up the bed so she could go to sleep only to feel Killian’s strong grip on her thighs and her being pulled back right against him.

"Why don’t we try this position more often? I like the sight of you gripping the sheets while pressed against me. I now know the first thing I shall do when this war is over. Wait for me like this. I don’t care where," Killian said.

Amelia’s eyes widened at his bold words. Her body suddenly felt weak and she rested her head down on the bed to find her strength.

Killian gave her a light tap on her buttocks, enjoying the movement that followed. He backed away from Amelia to stop the growing desire that would have him consider not going to sleep so soon. He had tortured Amelia enough and now it was time for her to rest.

Killian got onto the bed and lay on his side to watch Amelia contemplate if she should change her decision to go to bed. It was fun to see her in such turmoil over their intimacy.

Soon, Amelia made her way to the top of the bed to join him, but instead of lying down to face him, she backed him.

Killian chuckled as he placed his left arm over her waist to pull her against him. This was her way of trying not to be intimate tonight, but sooner or later, she would roll around in her sleep to face him.
