Chapter 27: I claim your body as mine
Alora slowly brought her hands to his shoulders and pressed her lips against his in the most tender way she could. She vividly remembered how Magnus kissed her and she imitated what he previously did. The gentle nibbles made Magnus’s entire body a bit tense and the control he had over him was lost.
Magnus cradled her neck and parted his lips to move them against hers. The movements of her lips were filled with hesitation; an apprehension which made her wonder if she did good. However, the moment Magnus reciprocated, her doubts disappeared.
She felt her feet moving backward until they touched the bed. Her mind once again stopped working and her entire focus shifted to that kiss.
Magnus decided to keep their kiss chaste. Despite his will was against pull away from the kiss, he withdrew and breathed along with her. Alora’s eyes glued to him, gasping for air. She would bite her bottom lip in between as silence coveted the chamber for a minute.
"Your Highness, did I do right this time?" Alora queried while again biting her lip.
"Yes. But it can be improved," Magnus said and he lifted her in his arms. Her hands instinctively locked behind his nape. Her heart wildly raced, thinking if there lay something more of which she was unaware of.
As she reclined on the soft mattress, Alora discovered Magnus hovering above her. She curled her toes, fingers tightly clutching her dress. "Your Highness, I-I thought w-we are supposed to sleep," she stammered, swallowing nervously.
"We will, after I claim your body as mine," Magnus remarked. He captured her lips, tenderly nibbling them once again. Soon, his lips embarked on a southward journey, leaving a trail of kisses from her cheek to her jawline and down to her neck.
She shuddered with the touch of his cold lips on the part of the bodies, where Alora had not even imagined, nor did she know all this. An eliciting cry slipped past her lips the moment his teeth found the sweet spot below her ear and nipped it. His tongue made contact with her skin. Unbeknownst to her, she moaned to it.
