Chapter 360: Receiving Gifts I

It was 2 days before the upcoming royal wedding, and the festivities continued blaringly in the capital. Meanwhile, Geoffrey and Serena were in the crown prince's formal reception room in the palace, both seated on an elevated platform as streams of delegations and royalties from other kingdoms presented their wedding gifts. 

As Geoffrey was the future king of Windsor, many of the gifts for the couple were very elaborate. From priceless tiaras, ancient antique, foreign territories, to valuable trading rights. It was like a pageantry to which each kingdom or foreign territory paraded to show their splendor. Luckily, they only had to remain seated as Kings and Queens of other kingdoms only sent representatives either in the form of their prince, princess, or dignitary. 

Finally, after 3 hours of just sitting there and graciously receiving the gifts, it was over. Geoffrey's gentleman of the chamber closed the door and the two were left alone.

Geoffrey turned to look at Serena who was leaning on her seat. "Are you feeling tired?" he asked as he grasped her hand, intertwining their fingers.

Serena turned to look at him. Seeing his brows furrowed and worry etched on his face, she couldn't help but giggle. "I just sat here, how could I be tired?" 

Geoffrey shook his head as he smiled. He didn't know when it started, but suddenly with the knowledge of Serena being pregnant, there's this irrational side of him that constantly worried about her. If possible, he would want to just confine her on the bed so that he wouldn't think of the possibility of her tripping or something. "How did you like the gifts?"

Serena smiled at him shyly, "They're delightful.". Well, who wouldn't find them delightful? Although she owned many jewels herself, she was still a girl who's endlessly fascinated by them. The room was literally shining, shimmering, and splendid with all the diamonds. Still, she tried to hide her eagerness to just walk over the other side and check them out. What if Geoffrey thinks she's too greedy?

Geoffrey chuckled with how demure Serena was acting. He noticed that unlike before when she used to be a bit proud and domineering, now, she was quite different. She was more conscious of him and in some way, he can tell that she's trying to endear herself to him. Although he liked Serena as she was, he did not see the need to point out the change. In truth, he did like her this way too. It showed how much importance she's giving him now. 

"Come, let's look through them." Geoffrey invited as he stood from his seat.

Serena nodded her head and stood from her seat too.

The gifts were laid on one long table displaying everything for them to see. There were so many jewels that one would think they were in a jewelry store, only that the sizes were immensely larger.

Serena thought that some of these, perhaps she would only wear when she turned at least 60. Anyhow, seeing "the fife tiara" again, her eyes lingered for a second. It was very beautiful, and she has never worn a tiara before. Only queens, princesses, and married noble women get to wear them.

Earlier while receiving gifts, Geoffrey noticed Serena's eyes widen by a fraction when "the fife tiara" was presented. Now that her eyes lingered again, he knew she liked it. He picked it up and he smiled at her. "Want to try this one on?"

Serena's eyes widened. "I can't possibly." She denied though deep inside, her girly heart was screaming yes! What? She still has to uphold some poise. 

Geoffrey wanted to tease her, but he wanted to spoil her more. "You will be my wife soon, the crown princess and the future queen of Windsor. Which crown can you not afford to wear? Now, stand still." He instructed.

Serena blushed. Gods, she loves Geoffrey being proud, confident, and a bit dominating too. She felt the tiara's weight as he placed it on top of her head. "How do I look?" she asked curiously. She wanted to see herself in a mirror.

"Ravishing." He answered directly. Then, he bent a little to lift her up for a princess carry.

"Geoffrey!" Serena said in alarm as her hand instinctively reached for the tiara, scared to let it fall. It was too precious, and she wanted to see herself wearing it first.

Geoffrey took them to the elevated platform and sat her onto the chair he was seating on earlier. It was wide enough for her to be comfortable on. He stood up and loomed over her. His eyes roving up and down her entire figure.

Serena was no novice at this, but she could not understand why she was feeling shy. It was so different with Geoffrey. Perhaps because they only did it once before? Or that he was very domineering. She looked up at him, and their eyes met. His eyes spoke volumes. It was as if he wanted to devour her. Her knees suddenly turned weak. She wanted him too, but… what if he thinks that she's a wanton woman? Besides, just outside, there were people standing on guard and someone might suddenly enter the room.

Geoffrey saw Serena blush and her eyes looking left and right. He doesn't know if it's a fetish, but he rather enjoys seeing her like this. Knowing that she wanted it but trying not to show it. He took the crown from her hands and placed it on the seat she was seating on earlier.

Then, he looked at her again. He does not know how he lived 22 years of life without doing it, but after experiencing it, living without it for over a month was miserable. He missed the feeling of being inside her. They were to be wed in two days, but he can no longer wait. He leaned down and whispered as he licked her ear. "Serena, I want you so much. I need to do this with you right here, right now."
