Chapter 188
188 v. Beautiful
“Do you want to go out?” his voice woke her still sleepy consciousness.
Frankly, they have been at it almost the whole day. She has passed out from exhaustion more times than she could count.
“I would love to go out,” she blinked several times just to be sure she wasn’t dreaming.
He pressed a kiss on her forehead, “Let’s go then before I change my mind.”
“No way!” she pushed him away and climbed out of the bed abruptly.
Of course, she knew what could be the reason for changing his mind. And she would rather be taking a walk than spending time with her perverted husband who seemed to have endless stamina.
He chuckled as she put on a bra and changed her clothes. He can laugh all he wants, but no way will she let him change his mind about this. She knew exactly what was coming.
He put on a brown shirt and a pair of casual cargo jeans that fits his thighs remarkably well. She blushed as she thought he was in all actuality a walking sex on a stick.
“Is there anything dirty running on your mind, love? You know my offer still stands,” she couldn’t tell if he was joking as he leaned closer to her and wrapped her in his arms.
.....
“Nope, nothing at all,” she, of course, denied.
She felt her heart leap as he took her hand and interlaced his fingers with hers, “It will be cold outside so you better stick close to me, love.”
His smile charmed her off her boots, she couldn’t help but blush at the thoughts coming to her. She really must have hit herself hard in her head somewhere.
“Let’s go out then,” she let herself be guided by him outside as they took a stroll.
The stars were out tonight, and the moon shone quite brightly. But they all pale in comparison to the man beside her who took most of her attention anyway.
“You do like taking walks, don’t you?” she inquired.
“Why did you take a guess like that, queenie?” he chuckled, obviously in a lighthearted spirit.
“Well, you frequented the park to take a walk, didn’t you?” she pointed out.
“No, I just had a feeling that the woman I was looking for will be there somehow. It must be instinct from my desire to see you again,” his voice was too serious that she couldn’t bear to express any disbelief.
“An instinct,” she repeated the word in her mouth, trying to absorb what he was saying.
It was a strange concept for her, this reincarnation thing he seemed to really believe in. And an even stranger reaction when she hears him talk about it.
She rubbed a hand in her chest as if doing so will help her heart rate go back to normal. Seriously though, Dominus has been nothing but a dream during this honeymoon except when he talks about something this weird.
“You don’t get it, do you?” he forced himself to smile, knowing fairly well that she might never really accept the truth.
He pulled her closer to him and continued to walk silently, “I’m sorry. I really wish I can understand you. But when you talk about things like this, all it does is confuse me even more.”
“I’m sorry love, just take it off your mind for now, please. I hate ruining the moment,” he asked of her, knowing full well it is impossible to make her believe at the moment.
It tortures him for her not to fully believe in him and the things he stands for. He wondered if he really stood a chance at ever making her fall in love this time around.
In all their reincarnations, this is the most she has put up her walls. He couldn’t even penetrate her subconscious even when he purchased the castle.
“Where should we go?” she took on the offer.
“Where do you want to go?” he inquired, noting how the wind started to turn cold, he took off his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders.
“It’s okay,” she attempted to take it off because she already has a jacket on her, and taking it off with leave him with none.
He placed his hands on her shoulders and smiled, “Please just wear it for me, love. Do you think I won’t beat myself up if you got sick under my watch?”
She blushed, “But I already have a jacket on and you won’t have any.”
“My queen, look at me. Do you think I’ll get cold so easily? I can sleep in the woods under this temperature and still not be sick the next day,” he said, making the coloring of her cheeks deepen at the thought of him sleeping naked.
“I’ll also be worried about you, you know. I also don’t want you to get sick,” she said, raising her head so she can meet his eyes.
“Do you care for me, my queen?” he smiled, his eyes lighting up with her words.
“I do. I care about you a lot, Dom,” well at least that is something she should be allowed to say to her own husband.
There are so many emotions she has been trying to hide from him already. Deep feelings she doesn’t know how to accept herself.
“You know I’ll be okay. Every day I will be. For as long as you are by my side, queenie,” his eyes turned murky gold as he looked at her.
No matter what she does, she couldn’t look away from him. His eyes hypnotize her whole being.
This is the man who can command her feelings like they were not her own. The only one with the power to make her feel misery, lust, and love, all at the same fucking time.
“You talk as if I’m all that you need,” she complained.
He chuckled, “Don’t you know it yet? You are everything to me. My pain, my joy, my sorrow, and my love. Everything that I am and will be is yours. So stop trying to run away from me. You are all that I need and more. You are everything to me, queenie.”
“I love you so, honey. Let me love you for as long as we live. I just want that chance to be with you. I want to be someone you can rely on and hold unto. I want that with you and more. I love you, queenie,” he brought her hands unto his lips and pressed a gentle kiss.
“I never thought of you as romantic,” she tried to tease him, just to make the atmosphere a bit lighter.
He laughed, “I am not. I am just honest about how I feel for you. Romance is such a flimsy word to describe how it is for me. You will be cell-shocked to know the thoughts that ran through my head whenever I think of you.”
She blushed, “You are such a pervert, aren’t you?”
“I’m not even going to try to deny that. But it wasn’t so bad, was it? You haven’t lost the ability to walk after all,” he teased her.
“Baka,” she said shushing him as she hid her face with her hands.
How dare him say such a thing in public? Even if no one can hear them, anyone can just suddenly come up and hear what he just said.
“Why? Are you ashamed of what we have been doing? But we are a just married couple. We can show them our rings and they can understand,” he grinned, obviously loving this exchange.
“You are saying it’s because we are on a honeymoon but we have been doing this for a while even before we wedded. You really are a baka,” she hit his arm playfully.
“Well, it can’t be helped. To me you are the single most attractive human in this world,” he held her wrist and placed a gentle kiss.
“You are such a fool. There are obviously thousands of women more attractive than me,” she blushed and tried to tug her hand away from his grip.
He just pulled her closer to him, “To me, you are the only one I ever found to be so beautiful. I nearly had a heart attack seeing you in your wedding gown. Do you know how that feels? To have that one person in the world you love so much walk down towards you, knowing after that day you will never have to part.”
“I love you queenie. More than I could possibly say with words. You mean the whole world to me and more. You are the only reason I can lose my sleep and the only reason I want to wake up the next day. I am hopelessly and irrevocably lost in the emotions I feel for you. I need you in my life more than I could say. You are the single most beautiful thing this world has to offer, and I am beyond grateful that you are mine,” his words made the whole world stand still for her.
So when he pulled her for another kiss, she let him. And when he claimed her lips in a most passionate kiss, she closed her eyes and knew he was also the single most beautiful thing in this world for her.
