Chapter 37: To Feel You

I placed my other hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat slowly, it was so slow I was beginning to wonder if it was even beating at all.

"Your heart," I said so softly that I couldn't even hear myself, my gaze lands on him, to demand an explanation.

"It beats so slow".

Was this normal? Even though I wasn't skilled in medical arts I knew this can't be normal, I always rested my head on my papa's chest and fell asleep when I was little, I always heard his steady heartbeat but it wasn't as slow as this, this was like it wasn't beating at all.

I snapped out of my thought when he used his other free hand to take my hand against his chest, locking it to his side as he did the other, I was now caged in his arms, a firm grip to my wrist to keep me from moving.

My heart quickened pace of what his intentions were, He had said he would show him if he had any desires.

My breath caught when he leaned close, for a minute I thought it was for a kiss but then his face buried in my neck, I froze when I felt his breath against my neck, a deep shiver ran down through my spine.

"C-Cedric?" I stammered I was getting more puzzled now, he haven't said a word since I touched him, now he was acting strange breathing in my neck.

My body stiffen when I felt his lips against my neck.

"I have never felt so much hunger," he said like in a daze.

Hunger? what does he mean? I was suddenly scared by that word because it almost meant like he wanted to devour me?

I flinch when I felt a kiss on my neck, my body sparks from the feeling, I never knew my neck was so sensitive until this very moment and then I did the unthinkable, a soft moan escaped my lips like I was lost and then I felt his... Tongue?

What on earth, his tongue??? like a slight taste to my skin, traveling on the side of my neck, I instantly crumble from the feel of the warm lick against my neck and did it felt divine, my body weaken instantly like I just rode a horse for hours and was exhausted, a mere lick did that to my body.

If Cedric wasn't holding unto me I would fall off from the mere gesture.

"Have I showed you now, Sylvia",

I finally heard his voice, I instantly flashed my eyes open finding his gaze on mine, I froze.

"W-What?"

"Have I proven to you that I have desires for a woman"

I was lost for words, so this was his way of showing me? Making me feel strange to the point that I couldn't think? So all this was just an act?

I frown deeply, I instantly yanked my hands away from his grip.

"Most certainly," I said sassily.

"Or was it not enough?"

Ugh!!!

"Dearest Husband you have shown me just about enough, now if you would excuse me I'm very tired and I must have my sleep," I said angrily, going under my covers and lying down on my bed backing him, I just wish he would just disappear.

I didn't feel him move, I sat up.

"I sai-" I froze when I gazed upon the now empty room, he was gone like the wind, my eyes saddened instantly, what on earth just happened between us? I couldn't explain it but I felt this need, that shook through my body when he touched me, to him it might have been his way of showing me, but I felt differently.

What kind of a man was Cedric? He was strange in all sought of ways that got me more curious about him.

☆☆☆

A few hours to dawn and yet I couldn't sleep, I just sat on my bed lost in thoughts of Cedric, a lot happened last night that got my head full, a lot of mystery behind Cedric. A man called Magnus, some called him the Dark General, a strange wolf at his side called Beowulf, and more the talk about the Emperor's illness, his weak heartbeat, and the change in his eye color that was almost terrifying.

There was a lot of mystery around Cedric, Cora had warned me to beware of him but right now I found myself wanting to know more about Cedric Hartford.

I was determined to find out, but in other to do that I should start from the beginning.

I turned to the windows as the sunlight creeps in, it was dawn already and I didn't have any sleep yet I didn't feel it.

The doors barge open as Olivia walks in.

"Good morning my lady, did you sleep well?".

☆☆☆

I stared at the empty chair before me that Cedric was meant to occupy during breakfast, but here I was at the dining hall at our wing, eating alone.

"My lady" Olivia said in a sad tone.

"I know you wanted to avoid Lord Cedric at certain times, but at this time he should be here for breakfast"

I silently ate my meal not wanting to think about it too much, but it seems like Cedric was avoiding me.

Western Wing

"Several balls are hosted every season, numerous of them and as the wealthiest house of sorcery, we are expected to attend them at several occasions," Mother said walking to and fro in front of me, it was lecture day as usual from Mother.

We were at her library and I was receiving some lectures.

"I do hope you understand your outlook in society is of utmost concern"

"Yes, Mother" I answered.

That was literary the main points in all her topics.

Mother took a seat before me.

"In less than a month, I have taught you all sensitive and important things you should know about the Empire" she states.

She really has, I have now understood almost all the Laws the Empire was living under, and also some history of this kingdom, it appeared that the Empire is one of the largest continents in all the lands, the most powerful, and also the only land blessed with Silver-haired and natural-born warlocks, no wonder the Empire was such a great city.

They had resources, power, and influence, I suppose that was why other kingdoms wage war to take over but never did. At the thought of war, I finally remembered my plan.

"Mother If I may?"
