Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 292 - Need To Control The Devil

Chapter 292 - Need To Control The Devil

While Drayce was dreaming about that day to come, Seren was puzzled why he stopped and had gone silent all of a sudden. Just several moments ago, he was eager to take care of was.h.i.+ng her.. 'Should I just get the washcloth from his hand and wipe myself?'

She slowly lifted her gaze to look at him, only to discover those red eyes staring at her in a daze. The moment their sights met, it pulled Drayce out from his wild fantasies and he cleared his throat. "Let's clean up." He didn't wish her to know what he was thinking.

Drayce gently washed her body with the cloth, starting from her neck going downwards towards her chest. At first, he was smug at how the trail of kisses looked like him marking his territory on her body, but upon closer inspection, he noticed how badly bruised her white milky skin was. The pink and red marks were acceptable, but there were some that were purplish.

'Was I too rough?' he thought, but the next moment, he concluded, 'I don't think so. My wife is just too delicate.' The more he moved the washcloth down, the more he realized that the patches of bruises on her skin were getting worse. Should he feel happy that it was his doing or feel bad about it?

He looked at her expression while wiping the area below her neck and could not help but ask, "Does it hurt, my Queen?"

She looked at those worried-looking eyes and replied with a firm, "No."

He believed her????—or rather, he wanted to believe her as he wouldn't be relieved if it was the opposite. He moved his hands down to her bosom and heard her let out a sharp hiss. He retracted his hand and asked, "What happened?"

"It stings a little?" she replied with her brows furrowed a little.

"Where?" he asked.

The moment he asked, she cursed herself in mind, 'Why did I have to show it's stinging? How can I answer now?'

Seeing her not answering, he asked coldly, "I asked where."

Drayce sounded a little angry, but whether it was due to Seren's silence or because of himself, no one could know.

Seren didn't know how to explain or what word to use. She just lowered her head, covered her soft peaks with her hands crossing each other, and answered, "Here." She shut her eyes in embarra.s.sment.

"Let me see," he said and held her hands to pry them away from hiding her chest. Under the soft light coming from the lamps, his sight found the pink buds of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

What should have been a pair of beautiful rosy buds looked swollen and bruised against her pale white skin. Drayce promptly recalled how harsh he had been with her when he was enjoying them earlier.

With eyebrows knitted together, he said, "Why didn't you stop me when you're already hurting?"

"It…It did not hurt at that time," she replied hesitantly. How could she pay attention to pain when she was overwhelmed with the pleasure brought by his mouth? At the thought of this, her face blushed.

"Hmm!" was what Drayce replied. He continued to clean her gently and would stop whenever he saw her knitting her brows in pain. Seren had to swallow all the embarra.s.sment as she knew this stubborn man in front of her would not listen to her. Soon, he finished cleaning her and himself. He then told her to close her eyes as he left the tub. After drying himself and covering himself with a clean robe, he then let Seren open her eyes again. He dried her too before wrapping her in a robe as well.

He lifted her in his arms and carried her back to her bedchamber. Parting the gauzy curtains away, he placed her in the middle of the bed. Smelling the fresh sheets, it seemed like her servants came in to change them while the royal couple was in the bath.

He knew that despite the thick and warm blanket, his wife would be feeling cold. Drayce pulled her in his arms, scooping her in his warm embrace. "I hope you are not feeling cold now."

Her husband's thoughtfulness never failed to surprise Seren. She did not even say anything, yet he noticed she was feeling a little cold after their bath. With this man with her, she didn't need to tell or ask for anything; he always paid attention to her behavior and reactions, never failing to notice even the tiniest thing about her. Despite her never speaking out about her needs, he took care of her in the best way possible. His concern for her warmed her heart.

For Seren, it was becoming a normal thing to sleep with him like this, and after what they did tonight, there was no need to feel hesitant about being intimate with him. She let her head rest on his arm as she faced him. Looking at his adorable wife affectionately, Drayce tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ears and caressed her cheeks over her veil.

"It must be an exhausting day for you. You should sleep now," he said softly.

The wedding ceremony in Megaris was more trying for her than the wedding ceremony they had in Abetha. Excluding the hours it took to prepare, the grand ceremony, the parade, and the royal ball took the entire day, and afterwards, what Drayce did with her took away the remaining strength in her.

Seren nodded and closed her eyes. All her energy had been sapped away at this point, and she moved closer to Drayce to bury her face in his chest. She liked to sleep like this as she felt protected in his embrace.

Drayce gently hugged her fragile body and allowed her to sleep peacefully; however, he himself was not able to sleep. He stared at the dark sky through the huge gla.s.s window of the chamber. The darkness seemed to represent what he was trying to hide, and his worries resurfaced in his mind????—in particular, the devil inside him. Like he had always feared, he lost his self-control and had been about to hurt Seren more than he already did. If not for her begging for him to stop, he would not have regained himself. It was torturous for him to imagine what that devil would have done to his delicate wife.

'I need to keep him away from her. I need to control him, or else, he will definitely hurt her again. He was angry at her for letting me touch her." Drayce gritted his teeth. "That devil. If only I could kill him once and for all…'
