Chapter 193: To Love Is To Be Vulnerable Part 2
If the contents of one’s head were compared to a volcano, Aleksander’s head would have already exploded by the intensity of Elys’ kiss, his brain scattered all over their shared chambers. That would have caused a lot of mess, but it was a good thing his head was not a volcano at all.
It was not like he never kissed anyone before. Hell, he could never even count how many poor blood servants have tried to seduce him before. He was supposed to be experienced, but all he could do now was to turn into stone, unable to move with the shock a single kiss brought.
He wasn’t someone pure. He had indulged himself in too many sinful things in a bid to drown himself, trying to forget the pain and self-pity he felt in himself over the years his father disregarded his entire existence.
The young king expected Elys to turn away when he hugged her, but she actually hugged him back. She hugged him tightly, and spoke words Aleksander never had thought would have come out of his queen’s mouth.
Their marriage was not conventional in any means. The mark they shared on their forearms were unwanted. The bond they shared was only temporary.
Hatred and vengeance were the two main things that brought them together. Once this was all over, it was expected that they would part their own ways, whatever that may be.
Love was not offered freely on the plate.
Emotions were nothing but destructive weapons banned from being used on each other.
Elys had said it herself – he should not fall in love with her.
However, right here and now, Aleksander couldn’t think of anything but the sweet taste of his wife’s lips on his. Aleksander’s hands started to wrap around the tiny of her waist, and Elys deepened the kiss.
Aleksander suddenly pulled away.
