After The Party (2)
Luna glanced at Alkrevas through the mirror’s reflection. She had to try her hardest to act average upon seeing the man in plain pajama pants paired with a sleeping kimono. However, it wasn’t the attire that flustered her but how he wore it. The belt was tied around his waist to keep the kimono closed. Still, the top was open because it was worn carelessly, revealing his perfectly toned muscles, a solid chest, and six-pack abs. If Alkrevas wasn’t watching her with an intimidating gaze, Luna might have drooled over such a sight.
Seeing such a view wasn’t unfamiliar to her, especially since many male models maintain a perfectly muscular body to attract attention. But for some reason, seeing those models didn’t interest her, while just glimpsing Alkrevas’s broad chest and perfect abs made Luna feel the need to fan herself.
Was it because she had touched that area directly with her hands? After all, it wasn’t the first time they had made love, so Luna immediately shook her head and slapped her cheeks. Get a grip, Luna! Remember your main goal! Don’t get tempted!
“Why are you still there? I want to change clothes and get ready for bed. Are there any maids outside?”
“Yes, Luna,” Judith replied from outside the door.
“Come in. I want to change clothes.”
Alkrevas remained still, his body leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, his brown eyes never leaving Luna, seated at the dressing table, removing accessories and makeup. When she was done and stood up to unbutton her gown, Alkrevas suddenly said, “Stop. I will help my Luna change her clothes. You all may leave.” Luna turned to stare at Alkrevas in disbelief. “I’ll help you. Turn around.”
“No. I want my maids to help me. Why should it be you?” Luna replied angrily. Alkrevas smirked and walked closer, stopping right behind her, and placed his hands on her shoulders, squeezing them. “Your Majesty?”
“Be quiet. Don’t move. Whatever little plan is spinning in your head, I prefer your defiant attitude over your obedient one.” Luna’s mouth formed a perfect ‘O’ in shock at the absurd comment she had just heard from the psychopathic emperor.
“I said, don’t move.” Then Alkrevas began unbuttoning her gown one button at a time. When all the buttons were undone and the gown slowly fell to the floor, Alkrevas wrapped his arms around Luna’s body, burying his face in the crook of her neck.
Luna gasped when one of Alkrevas’s hands squeezed her breast, and he murmured, “Do you know?” Luna felt her heart race once more.
“I want to dress you myself, buttoning each button up to the top. And when you look beautiful just for me,” Luna gasped as Alkrevas’s hand squeezed her breast again. She felt his other hand, which had been on her stomach, start to creep downward, caressing her thigh and ending up stroking the surface of her most sensitive area, covered only by her underwear.
Alkrevas smiled seductively, watching Luna’s face in the mirror’s reflection as he whispered, “I will unbutton it one by one, tear the dress off your body, and strip you naked. I imagine all that when I see you looking so beautiful. Can I do that?”
“Are you crazy?” Luna hissed in panic.
Alkrevas chuckled and kissed Luna’s reddening earlobe. “Right now, I’m thinking of fulfilling my desire and dressing you up and undressing you. Do you know how I feel every time I unbutton your dress? It’s thrilling.”
Luna started to squirm, trying to free herself. Still, with Alkrevas’s hands locked on her sensitive spots, one touch and squeeze made her body go weak, and she sank deeper into the psychopathic emperor’s embrace.
Luna lifted her hand to cover her mouth, which let out a soft moan. “Look at your face, little mate. Isn’t it beautiful? Full of passion and pleasure. Only my touch can do that.” Alkrevas then squeezed both her breasts. “You are my future empress.”
“What are you… uhh… doing?” Luna murmured, her breath ragged.
Alkrevas kissed the claimed mark on Luna’s neck, making her body tremble violently, and a loud moan escaped uncontrollably. “Bend over, my Luna.”
“What?” Luna squeaked fearfully. But Alkrevas didn’t respond; instead, she pushed her body, making her bend over toward the mirror.
“Spread your hands on the mirror.”
Luna obeyed. Her body was trembling uncontrollably, and she watched in the mirror as Alkrevas stood right behind her, spreading her legs wider and tearing off her underwear. Then she saw Alkrevas discard his kimono haphazardly, remove his pants, and tease her entrance with his manhood. “Look at yourself in the mirror. Never close your eyes, or you won’t get your reward from me.”
“Alkrevas, not now, I-Ahh!” Luna moaned as the man’s large, ready member entered her with a single powerful thrust, filling her. Luna gasped as she felt kisses on her back and shoulders, accompanied by Alkrevas’s hands caressing her buttocks and waist.
“Don’t close your eyes, little mate. That’s an order,” Alkrevas said, followed by a smack on one of her buttocks. Luna flinched in surprise and immediately opened her eyes, realizing she had closed them due to the overwhelming sensations. The sparks coursing through her body felt even more intense, making even the slightest touch from Alkrevas provoke a reaction.
Luna could see her body blushing deeply, her face displaying an embarrassing expression. Still, it was nothing compared to Alkrevas’s reflection, looking so robust. His face was flushed with pleasure, his brown eyes gazing languidly, and Luna couldn’t tell which was more erotic, the scene before her or the pornographic film Lucy had forced her to watch as ‘education’ since she was still a virgin in her mid-twenties. Of course, the current view was far more erotic. That thought suddenly entered her mind.
Luna opened her mouth, her breath heavy. Alkrevas began to move with a slow, intoxicating rhythm. One of his hands played with her breast while the other reached for her lengthy hair, twisting it and pulling until Luna’s body arched slightly. “You are mine,” Alkrevas hissed possessively.
Luna couldn’t respond and only moaned. Those two words kept coming from Alkrevas’s mouth as if he were branding them into Luna’s soul and body.
For the rest of that night until dawn, neither Alkrevas nor Luna left the chamber. The servants, the emperor’s maids, and the imperial palace guards chose to withdraw, giving the soulmate couple space to share their love.
…
A gentle breeze filled the quiet bedroom, entering through the open window. Sunlight illuminated the entire room, and birds chirped occasionally in the sky. The window curtains fluttered softly, as did the tightly closed bed curtains. Luna slowly opened her eyes and groaned. She stretched all her muscles, but soon after, a wave of pain and soreness washed over her.
She lay still for a moment before sighing loudly. If this continued, keeping up with Alkrevas’s seemingly endless stamina, she would fall ill sooner or later. Recalling their wild lovemaking the previous night, Luna felt amazed that her body had managed to endure until the end. She pushed her messy, long hair away from her face just as the bed curtains were pulled open.
Alkrevas stood there with a cold, emotionless face, indicating that he was in emperor mode, not the annoying man who enjoyed teasing her. His brown eyes scrutinized her sharply, making Luna, who was lying with a blanket covering her naked body, feel uneasy. Something was on his mind, but Luna didn’t know what it was.
She noticed Alkrevas’s body was dressed in a white shirt under a black kimono, gold patterns, black trousers, and black leather shoes. His dark hair looked still messy and wet. From his appearance, Luna deduced that Alkrevas had just finished cleaning himself in the bathroom.
“You’re awake, my Luna,” Alkrevas murmured in his deep, baritone voice. Luna shivered at the sound and instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around her body. She nodded.
“It’s only six in the morning. You can sleep again. I’m sure you’re still tired after last night’s party.” Luna bit her lip to hold back a sarcastic remark.
Alkrevas sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch her face, brushing away stray hairs and tucking them behind her ear. “Your face is pale.”
“Whose fault is that?” Luna couldn’t help but comment, her eyebrows knitting together. Alkrevas chuckled softly. “What’s so funny?”
Alkrevas shook his head and stroked Luna’s forehead. “Don’t frown like that,” he murmured, then answered her question. “You. Funny.” Then Alkrevas looked at Luna again, this time with a dangerously mysterious gaze, making Luna feel uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Luna asked, unable to bear the sight of anger flashing in his brown eyes. She tried to sit up, but Alkrevas pushed her back down as he stood up. “Are you leaving?”
“I have a morning meeting. You know that, right?”
“Have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet. I’ll have breakfast with the ministers, but I must ensure you’ll eat yours because you don’t intend to go back to sleep.” After that, Alkrevas called a servant and began giving instructions for Luna’s breakfast.
Slowly, Luna sat up, not forgetting to cover her body with the blanket. She watched Alkrevas, who was still talking to the head butler, Zyne, and Luna’s face showed a sullen expression. It’s so unfair. My body is trembling and exhausted, sore everywhere, but look at that bastard! He looks so fresh and fit!
Alkrevas returned to the bed and sat beside her after talking to Zyne, reaching out his hand to pull back the blanket covering Luna’s legs. His hand played with the two anklets around her ankles as he murmured, “Is there anything you want to do today?”
“Huh?”
“Today is the second day of the festival. How about you walk and see the vendors in the market?” Alkrevas suggested without looking at Luna’s face, still focused on his hand playing with the anklets on her feet. Luna’s heart raced. Did Alkrevas know something? But it couldn’t be.
Luna didn’t want to doubt Ghea’s words, and from Alkrevas’s behavior, he might know. Still, he was confident she wouldn’t run away and wasn’t overly cautious. Luna sighed softly, knowing that was just her naive thinking. Alkrevas wasn’t that kind of man. She was sure of it.
“Will you accompany me?”
“No. I have a long meeting with the ministers, a meeting with the delegates in the throne room to welcome them, and then ensure the preparations for tomorrow’s cabinet meeting. You can represent me by reviewing the festival on the second day.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. It would be a shame to miss the Moon Flower Festival, which only happens once a year. This festival is said to be more lively than the Empire’s birthday festival.”
“Really?”
“Yes. You can ask Judith and some of your maids to accompany you. If you want to go, tell Zyne so he can arrange everything, including the guards who will protect you.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Whether by luck or not, Alkrevas granted her permission to leave the palace gates without him at a perfect time when Ghea had requested a secret meeting with her in the city.
Is God on my side this time? Luna wondered in her heart.
