Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 252: Ways To Make Her Feel Better

Chapter 252: Ways To Make Her Feel Better

Seren continued reading the other books sent by Drayce and as she had promised him before, she needed to read them all. She realized all the books had a similar kind of content that made her turn red with embarra.s.sment. The only thing that was different was the settings and the plots of the stories. The first one she had read was about the Prince and the Princess while the other one was about the Duke and his lost love. The third one was about an ordinary merchant and his struggle to get the woman from the higher status, their love and longing.

Though she found it interesting to read about the different stories and how they turned into a happy ending, all those books were filled with the erotic stuff that troubled the young Queen, making her feel strange.

"Your Majesty, you have been reading since morning. It's almost evening. You should rest now?" Lady Xena said as she felt worried about their Queen's health.

"I am almost done," Seren informed as she finished the last page of the book.

She then rested for a while till the dinner was ready for her but again, just like lunch, not a single bite could go easily down her throat. All she felt was uneasiness and could only think about what she had read in the books. Why they all wanted to do the same thing with each other saying they love the person and why they felt good about it.

Not being able to eat much and feeling anxious, she left the dining room.

Seeing her coming out of the dining room so soon, and the food was as it is in her dish, Lady Xena asked, "Your Majesty, you ate nothing. Was the food not as per your liking?"

"I don't have much appet.i.te today," Seren replied and went to her bedchamber.

Seeing her so lost, Marie followed her and offered, "Your Majesty, would you like to soak in warm water before sleeping? It might help you relax."

Seren thought for a moment and agreed, "Fine!"

Her mind was lost and nothing felt good so she finally thought to follow what Marie suggested.

Seren sat in the warm water tub with her hand surrounding her folded knees and stared blankly ahead. As her mind was filled with what she had read in the book, she couldn't stop but relate it with all those moments when Drayce was closer to her and acted so intimate.

She closed her eyes and those images flashed in front of her - When he touched her lips with his and his hot breath brus.h.i.+ng against her skin. When he sucked the skin on her neck, leaving it all painted in red. The way he slept with his warm hard chest transferred its warmth to her back and his hands surrounding her stomach, which made her heartbeats unstable. When he bit her and drew out the blood, it was so painful at that time but now remembering that pain, a light gasp left her lips and she clutched her folded knees to her chest to suppress what she was feeling.

'This doesn't feel good. What should I do?'

She felt lost as she failed to realize why her body was reacting that way. Not being able to feel comfortable while soaking in hot water, she stepped out of it. Marie and Eva helped her get ready in her nightclothes.

"Your Majesty, is there anything that is troubling you?" Marie asked while Eva quietly listened to them.

Seren looked at her through the mirror of her dresser and wanted to say she was not feeling good and it felt strange but she swallowed her words, "I think I am tired after too much reading."

Marie understood her Queen didn't wish to say it as she could guess what was happening to her. "Your Majesty, once His Majesty will come to accompany you, you can tell him whatever you want. He might help you."

Seren looked at her again to know why she said it and Marie said, "Your Majesty might feel good and comfortable when His Majesty is around."

Seren thought for a moment and realized she really could sleep nicely when he was around and nodded to what Marie said.

Once Seren was settled in the bed to sleep, Marie and Eva left. Seren couldn't sleep as she continued to stare at the window while sleeping to her one side and curling herself into a ball.

'So uncomfortable it is,' she frowned and clutched the blanket to her chest as nothing could make her feel better.

In a while, she felt someone's presence in her bedchamber and held her breath. She knew that was Drayce and he had finally come to accompany her like every other night.

Seren gulped and clutched the blanket even tighter in her hands, almost burying her nails into that soft fabric. She felt anxious and her heart started beating faster with every step Drayce took closer to the bed. It was not how she felt on his arrival the night before. Tonight she felt something different and anxious about his presence around her.

When Drayce entered his Queen's bedchamber, as always he saw her sleeping in her bed with her back facing the door. Just as he took a few steps ahead, he heard his Queen's heart getting all noisy and even heard her inhaling deeply and letting it go slowly.

Drayce could guess the reason for it all but he was sure his Queen was not aware of what was happening to her.

"My Queen, are you asleep?" Drayce asked as he stood next to the bed.

Seren shut her eyes tightly and clutched the blanket firmly, she acted as if she didn't hear him. A night before she was worried that he would leave her but now she was not even responding to him.

Drayce was sure she was not asleep. Not minding her, he got into the bed and covered himself with the same warm blanket.

Seren felt the side of the bed sinking and knew Drayce got into the bed. She shrank her body as if she wished to move away from him but she couldn't move even an inch as if her body was frozen due to how anxious she felt.

Just as Drayce s.h.i.+fted closer to her and she felt the sudden warmth on her back, she immediately moved away from him and sat up in the bed as if her body got electrocuted by his touch.

Drayce sat up and looked at her, who was sitting clutching the blanket in front of her chest with her head lowered down.

"Are you alright, My Queen?" he asked.

Seren didn't turn to look at him and just shook her head implying she was not fine. As lying was a bad thing to do in her opinion, she couldn't help but be honest.

Drayce sat comfortably and said, "Look at me, My Queen."

Hesitantly she turned her head to look at him, who was sitting to her side while facing her. She couldn't dare sit facing him and simply looked at him.

"May I know what is wrong?" He asked.

"I am not sure," she replied and turned her head to the other side to not look at him anymore.

"When we talk, you should look at me, My Queen," he said gently but underneath his gentle words, it sounded like he was warning her. "Sit facing me," he instructed. He was sure only this way would work on her and she would obey. There was no way he would let his wife suffer when he was with her.

Seren did so and sat in the bed while facing him but couldn't dare look at him.

"Now tell me what happened?" Drayce asked.

Seren remembered his warning of asking her to look at him when they talk and immediately followed it, "Seems like I am tired after reading for too long."

"And?" Drayce asked, looking straight into her anxious eyes.

Seren had no words to speak any further as she herself didn't know what it was that she was going through and only stared at him blankly.

"Take some time, think, and answer," Drayce instructed.

Under the intimidating gaze from the pair of those red eyes, Seren thought over what she was feeling and lowered her head before she could answer him. Everything she felt, she summed up into a single line.

"I don't feel good."

Drayce stared at her lowered face for a moment and instructed, "Give me your hand, My Queen."

It puzzled her and she looked at him only to see him offering his hand to her. Seren let go of the blanket from her hold and put her trembling hand into his. The moment she felt the warmth from his palm, she again felt strange and wished to retract her hand but Drayce held it firmly, making her give up on it.

He caressed the back of her palm with his thumb as his sight didn't move away from her while she was looking at her hand to see what he was up to. The next moment she saw him moving her hand towards his face and the memory of what he did with her finger the last time flashed in her mind. She remembered that feeling which made her s.h.i.+ver.

She looked at him, who was still staring at her as if he wished to see every bit of her changing expressions and the shocking realizations she would get.

She felt like his sight could see through her soul and it affected her greatly. That pair of red eyes was surely dangerous for her innocent mind to keep it sane.

Drayce moved her palm closer to his mouth and kissed into her soft palm as he looked at her face to see her reaction and then again kissed the inside of her wrist. As expected her hand trembled even more and her eyes carried the shock of what she felt. It was a simple action but it managed to affect her body that was filled with so many desires she was never aware of.

"Does it feel good?" Drayce asked as his warm and soft lips brushed over the inside of her delicate wrist.

Not just her hand that was being kissed, but she felt like her entire self had just melted with what he had just done. She didn't know how to answer him and only stared at him and her hand that was still closer to his face, still s.h.i.+vering. She felt the b.u.t.terflies in her stomach.

"You didn't answer, my Queen?" he asked, moving his thumb along the inside of her wrist.

Her face turned red like cherry as embarra.s.sment covered her face. "I-I am not sure, Your Majesty."

A light smirk was painted on his lips as she was avoiding answering him. Without any warning, he moved closer to her face and stopped just an inch away and she looked at him closely whose eyes were fixed at her veil-covered lips.

She gulped and was ready to feel the expected. He touched her veil-covered lips with his and asked while still being there as his lips brushed against hers, "And this, My Queen? Does it feel good?"

Seren didn't know how to answer as this man had turned her brain into a mess with this much closeness. She wanted to speak but could still feel his lips closer to hers.

She moved back a little and answered the same, "I...am...not sure...Your Majesty."

Her voice was low and broken as if it was so difficult for her to even speak.

Drayce didn't move back but instead started into her puzzled eyes as the light wicked smirk was painted on his lips.

"Rest a.s.sured my Queen. I have other ways to make you feel good."

Seren observed his expressions and that smile and she didn't get a good feeling about it. She felt like jumping out of the bed and running away from him but the question was, can she even do it? The answer was clear no as she knew without his permission it was not possible.

"W-What do you mean, Your Majesty?" she asked, feeling anxious to her bones.

"Something that will make my Queen feel better," he answered and pulled her closer to make her fall in his embrace as her hands rested on his shoulder to support herself on her knees while his hands wrapped around her waist.
