Chapter 12 - Sweet Warmth
I watched him slowly unbutton his shirt, his fingers lingering around the buttons for the longest time.
A ball of heat began burning in my stomach as I watched him undress, looking at me with those sharp and empty eyes.
Kyre Cryteare
What's wrong?
He spoke in a low tone, suddenly making the room's temperature slowly colder.
Kyre Cryteare
Letting a man into your room while you're wearing nightwear.
Kyre Cryteare
This is the only possible outcome.
His shirt was still holding onto the last bottom two buttons as he leaned forward and pressed me against the bed.
Kyre Cryteare
What do you want from me?
Kyre Cryteare
Everyone wants something from me. People tolerate me in order to get what they want.
Kyre Cryteare
So, tell me now what you desire, and I'll have it given to you.
Adelaide Cryteare
What I want...
Adelaide Cryteare
... is for you to tell me when you're genuinely happy.
His eyes went wide, confused.
Kyre Cryteare
You could have asked for wealth, jewellery, thousands of dresses, a castle, and you ask for me to tell you when I'm happy?
Adelaide Cryteare
You see, we are now husband and wife.
I reached up and touched his cold cheek.
Adelaide Cryteare
And my happiness relies on your happiness.
Adelaide Cryteare
So, when I finally manage to make you happy... I want you to tell me.
Kyre Cryteare
Happiness... is useless.
Kyre Cryteare
You don't need happiness to live-
Adelaide Cryteare
No, but you need happiness to feel truly blessed to be walking on this Earth.
Our eyes met again, his beautiful blue pupils filling me with a strange kind of emotion.
One that made me want to protect him.
Just as much as I wanted to protect Theon.
Adelaide Cryteare
I don't know what you've been taught, or what you've felt over the years, but those who have pinned you down aren't here anymore.
Adelaide Cryteare
No one can tell you what to and what not to do.
Adelaide Cryteare
No one apart from yourself.
In that moment, I felt his ice shield slowly began to melt. A single layer of ice had been taken off, and I felt a step closer to him.
However, before I could do anything, he suddenly grabbed both of my ankles and pulled me towards him, making me squeal.
Suddenly, I felt something strike by the side of my face and saw that it was his hand.
He looked down at me from above.
Kyre Cryteare
You are a strange woman.
Kyre Cryteare
Wanting and waiting to be defiled by someone like me?
Adelaide Cryteare
We're husband and wife. Consummating the marriage is just as important as the ceremony itself.
Adelaide Cryteare
I don't mind getting a little hurt, but I can see it in your eyes. You have a gentle soul, Kyre.
I spoke his name softly, and suddenly, I saw a crack forming.
Adelaide Cryteare
I won't get to see you for a long time, and you won't be able to see me for a while either.
I slowly leaned up and pushed Kyre down against the backboard of the bed, sliding up on top of his lap.
Adelaide Cryteare
As my gift to you before leaving the battlefield, let me show you what kind of warmth a wife can give a husband.
