Chapter 254 - Insatiable Hunger
Theodore left Adeline and then went back to his cave, in his own room. As Adeline had asked him, he thought of getting good sleep for the whole day. He jumped on the bed and covered himself with the warm blanket. Then he closed his eyes in the hopes of getting some sleep.
But how could he sleep when he had the most beautiful experience not long ago? All he could think about was her soft lips, her tight hips, and her squishy chest.
He wanted to kiss her, touch her, and do everything else all over again. The more he thought about her, the more he was tempted to go back to the Palace and bring her back to his room.
Yes, he had just seen her a while ago and did all those things just moments ago. But now that he had fully tasted her and now that he knew how ecstatic it felt, he wanted to taste her again.
Theodore flung open his eyes and pressed his thumb against his lips. And he thought to himself, "If only she didn't have her own obligations… I would keep her here forever. And I would keep on loving her until she would get tired. I would let her rest to recover, and then I would make love to her again… and again… and again."
He let out a frustrated grunt and then turned the side to rest on his stomach. He was trying his best to suppress his urge to teleport to the Palace.
After Edwin left the room, Adeline tried her best to focus on the tasks at hand. She had to look after the report that one of the councilmen, who looked after the Finance of Wyverndale, had sent her.
She was flipping through the pages and was trying her best to focus on the numbers written on the paper. But all she was doing was either staring blankly at the page or just shuffling through without actually reading anything.
She would read some lines and then her mind would automatically start to wander to the intimacy that she had shared with Theodore this morning. Without realizing it, she was gently caressing her lips. She could still feel the warm touch from his lips, not just his lips but the touch from his other body parts as well.
Every time she would recall that beautiful moment between them, she would feel hundreds of butterflies in her stomach. She would get the exact sensational feeling that she felt this morning. Her heartbeat never calmed down as she kept on thinking about it over and over again.
Suddenly, she was startled when she felt a soft tap on her shoulder followed by a warm peck on her neck.
She jumped to her side and turned to look at the perpetrator who had touched her like that.
"Theo!" she let out a sigh of relief and scolded him, "You scared me! What are you doing here? I thought I asked you to-"
Theodore didn't let her finish her sentence. He sealed her mouth with his and kissed her vigorously, as though he had this insatiable hunger inside of him. And Adeline reciprocated with equal passion.
He slowly slid both of his hands under her hips and then picked Adeline up from the chair. Adeline wrapped her legs around his waist and they both kept on kissing each other like never before.
Theodore walked to the side and gently slammed her back against the shelf. He slid Adeline's body a little downward. Then he began rocking his body against hers while still devouring her lips. The files and scrolls that were stacked neatly on that shelf were now a mess.
Adeline placed her palm on his chest and pushed him. She broke off from the intense and heated kiss and asked with a shaken breath, "Theo… what are you doing? Someone will hear us."
Theodore was not happy that she stopped him just to ask some questions. And he whispered in his enticing voice, "So let them. I don't want to stop kissing you. I want to take you right here and now."
He slowly slid his hand inside her gown and moved up to her thighs. Adeline's heart skipped several beats when she felt his warm hand moving closer and closer to her sensitive area. She was tempted to give in but at the same time, she was also feeling jittery as this was not her bedroom but it was her office.
So she caught his hand and tried to put some sense into him, "What if someone sees us? We shouldn't be so careless."
But Theodore leaned closer to her lips and spoke while softly brushing his lips against hers, "So let them see. I want the world to know that you are mine." And he claimed her lips again, even more passionately.
Adeline was startled when she heard a knock on the door. And Theodore was displeased. He wanted to kill whoever had knocked on the door.
Adeline quickly slid down from Theodore's grip and straightened her gown. And she asked in a whisper, "You are using the invisibility spell, yes? Others cannot see you, right?"
Theodore just pouted and shrugged his shoulder. "Who knows?"
Adeline smiled and lifted her heels. She gave him a peck and whispered, "I will introduce you to my father when the time is right. I am sorry that we have been sneaking around for all this time."
Theodore finally smirked.
There was another knock on the door again. "Your Highness?" Adeline heard Bennett's voice from the other side of the door. She went and hastily sat down on her chair. She lightly slapped on her forehead a few times to bring her thoughts back from Theodore. She took a deep breath in and then said, "Come in."
Bennett entered the room followed by a maid. He had noticed that the Princess was wearing the same gown from yesterday's ceremony. So he had gone to her quarter and asked the maids if she even returned to the quarter before going to the workplace.
From there he learned that they had not seen the Princess since yesterday and he rightly assumed that she didn't even have some tea before coming to the workroom. So he ordered the maids to prepare some hot breakfast for the Princess.
Bennett gave a gentle smile to Adeline and said in a caring voice, "Your Highness, I took the liberty to bring some food for you. Working on an empty stomach will be bad for your health." He then gestured the maid to lay down the plates on the table.
The maid did as the Lord asked and then bowed before leaving the room.
"Thank you so much for being so mindful about me," Adeline smiled back at Bennett while keeping her head down. She pretended to look at the papers that were in front of her so as not to give away what she was actually doing before he came inside the room.
However, Bennett's keen eyes fell on the Princess's flushed cheeks, and the first thing that came to his mind was that the Princess was sick. "Your Highness…" He was about to ask if the Princess was not feeling okay but then he saw her smiling to herself as though something really good had happened to her.
So he changed his question and then asked, "Did Your Highness hear some good news maybe? You look really happy right now."
