Chapter 181: A Warm Embrace (Part One)

Annalise didn’t reply and just made her way straight toward the bed and climbed on it. Taking off the outer robe, she made herself comfortable in Damien’s arms who immediately welcomed her with a warm smile.

He took a deep breath to inhale her scent before he whispered, "You smell so good, Princess." His fingers found their way into her hair which felt so smooth and silky to touch.

Annalise inhaled deeply as she snuggled her face into his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his waist. She remained in that position for a long while without moving or even speaking a single word and just when Damien started thinking that she had already fallen asleep because of her labored breathing and how silent her thoughts were, she suddenly pulled away from his arms and moved into a sitting position.

But she didn’t stop there, instead, she was soon sitting on top of him while straddling his thighs while her knees rested on the comforter on either side of his hips.

"What is it, Princess?" Damien asked as he raised himself a little bit with the support of his elbows. There was a seriousness in his eyes that clearly showed how worried he was about her.

"I want you." Annalise didn’t waste even a single second before she told him exactly what she wanted and if her words weren’t already clear enough, she added to disperse any sort of confusion that he had about her words. "I want you to make love to me."

"Stars, Princess!" Damien whispered as he moved to a complete sitting position with his eyes fixed on her while his heart, soul, and body were on fire because of her request. This was undoubtedly the very first time she had taken the initiative to ask for something so bold.

"Are you sure, Princess?" He asked while brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear while his other hand moved to wrap around her waist.

Annalise snaked her hands over his shoulders and locked her fingers together behind his back as she brought her face closer to his and whispered, "More than you can believe, My Lord. I’m very much aware of what I need, and right now... I need you..."

She slowly inched her face closer as both their gazes shifted between their eyes and their lips. As the space between their faces shortened, their heartbeat picked up speed, and soft sparks of excitement went running down both their spines.

Just as her lips were almost about to touch his, she slightly moved her head to the side all of a sudden and placed a kiss on the corner of his lips instead which gifted her with a little breathy groan from her man.

Damien’s hands that had been holding her waist dropped to her hips and pulled her tighter against him. His actions caused her throat to constrict as she felt him harden.

"My Lord..."

"Need you."

It was all that he needed before his lips crashed against hers in a deep kiss that was enough to shake her to the very core in thr most pleasurable way possible.

Her fingers found their way into his shoulder length raven hair and gripped them tightly as returned the kiss with just as much passion as he was showering her with.

The kiss ignited the spark that was the initiation of the massive fire of pleasure that was about to burn both of them.

Damien ended the kiss and pulled his mouth away only to trail kisses down her throat and over her shoulder as his hands moved over her thighs to find the hem of the nightgown that had riden up to her knees.

He first teased her slightly as his fingers brushed against the bare skin of her thighs under the nightgown all the while his mouth continued to trail kisses all over her throat and shoulder.

A shiver ran down Annalise’s spine as his fingers continued to tease her and she felt his lips stretching onto a smile against her shoulder before he placed another kiss there.

A couple of seconds later, he finally stopped teasing her and his fingers found their way to the hem of her nightgown once again before he pulled it upward and ultimately took it off only to find her completely naked beneath the silky garment.

"Princess..."

His voice was a mere whisper as his eyes ran over her bare body in front if him before coming to rest on her face. However, she could clearly see the result of her bold choice of not wearing undergarments for the night because the truth was... she was well aware of his presence in her room from the very moment he stepped inside it while she was still sitting in the pool and enjoying the bath, and she had a feeling that it had more to do with the castle itself than her mate bond dish him that allowed her to know his whereabouts.

It’s a new thing that she had started feeling, of noticing, recently that she could feel the presence of everyone living inside the castle. As long as she would think about a particular person and focus on them for a while, the castle would give her a sense of the exact position of that person.

And since she was thinking about her husbands during the bath, the castle knformed her xbout Damien’s arrival in hef bed-chamber which finally made her pull out of the pool and head to her room to the man who was patiently waiting for her inside.

"Don’t you think you should take off your clothes too?" She asked innocently while pointing at his black pants that was hiding his muscular thighs and the huge hardness that she was feeling against the inner side of her right thigh.

A smile spread on Damien’s lips as he pressed a quick kiss on her lips before answering, "Not really... but before I take it off, I want to hear you scream my name in pure pleasure."
