His Majesty Adores Me

Chapter 6: Wine

Chapter 6

It started raining again and Maia hasn’t come home yet. It’s about time to have dinner so I prepared food and we had dinner just like usual. It was a stormy night but I have this feeling that this will be a kong night. I was at the library as I read books to make time pass by. It was therapeutic to spend time like this. The rain outside was raging but the comfort of warmth in the fireplace and the scent of coffee and old books. There’s nowhere I would wish I could be right now. Everything in here feels perfect.

I heard a knock and I quickly turned to the door  and I saw Asher and he smiled. “Am I bothering you?” he asked and I shook my head. “No, not at all.” I said and closed the book that I was reading.

“What brings you here?” I asked.

He raised a bottle of wine that was stored in the cabinet for years. I remember asking my Mom if I could drink that. I was told that I’m too young to drink it and there’s really no reason for me to drink it because there’s no celebration. I heard that you drink wine like that when there's a special occasion. I haven’t tried drinking it. I wonder how it would taste.

“Pardon me but I found a great wine and I was wondering if we can open this.” He said and I giggled. When I think of it I will not have any celebration in this house for my remaining stay here. I might as well just use this wine to make the guest feel welcomed. I don’t see any problem with this. We are just drinking, right?

“I don’t mind though it’s the first time I will ever drink.” I said and he came in. He gently placed the wine on the table and sat across from me.

“It’s a pleasure that you have your first time with me.” He said and I smiled. 

He poured the wine and we sat there talking about random things. Anything under the sun is included and I feel amazing. I can’t help but laugh at his jokes and lame stories. When he says that he’s an insane man, does he mean he’s an insane mysterious man? I wonder if he talks to other ladies like this. He’s so charming that it’s impossible not to catch his glances at me. He’s dangerous for me and I can tell. In less than a month I will leave this place. Tomorrow will he be gone? Will I ever meet him again? All of these questions are unsure. I don’t know what the answer to any of it is. But right now, what I have in front of me is a person who is sharing his elf to me. If it’s the last time we will meet I might as well thank him for the good memories that we shared together.

“So tell me, do you have any preferences in men?” he coughed and blushed.

I laughed, “Well I haven’t thought about marriage yet.” I said and he frowned. This guy is making that face and it’s hard to resist. “But! A handsome man with strong connections and will treat me right will be fine with me.” I said and he raised his head.

“Really?” he said and went beside me. “Then, have me.” He said and I blushed.

“You’re seriously asking for my hand right now, Sir Asher?” I asked. His hands held mine and I could feel the difference between our bodies. He’s huge.

“Yes.” He replied in a split second. The atmosphere suddenly changed.

I sighed. He’s blushing and his breath smells like alcohol. He mustn’t be his usual self. They say that a man is usually really honest when he’s drunk. If I ask him now about his reasons then will he answer truthfully?

“Why.” I gulped. “Why does it have to be me?” I asked.

“I don’t know. When I see you my chest hurts like it was going to explode. When I first saw you I felt something that I haven’t felt before. That’s why I want you. You and your.. perfect sunset hair and green turquoise eyes and your rose lips.” His eyes are sincerely looking at me. He’s not lying? He was getting closer and it made me blush. “Your kind voice and angelic laugh makes me feel something. You kind hands and personality, I want to take care of you. I want to-“ I kissed him.

I don’t know.

My body moved on its own. When I look at him and the way he spoke those words, I feel like I want to believe him. I want to grab him and confirm it myself. Whether it’s just the wine of my heart is driving me crazy. Right now, I feel like my heart holds the truth. My body feels warm.

I pulled away and I saw his face. Blushing red and his mouth was left open. I blushed as he kissed me again and I pulled him over. My body and his are like magnets. We are pulling each other closer. His lips are soft and gentle. It makes me melt. His hands travelled down to my neck and it felt strangely good. I can’t stop myself from pulling him closer. What is happening to me?

My head is spinning through these strange emotions flowing through my body. My back was lying on the carpet and he was on top of me. Kissing and nibbling my neck. I feel drugged when I see his pleading gaze as he kisses me and touches me with care.

“This is my first.. time.” I muttered and he kissed my hand.

“Will you allow me?” he said and I blushed. Right now, my mind is a blur and I feel crazy. I want him.

I nodded. “Y-Yes.” I said and he kissed me again.

I can feel him and he’s really warm. His arms are huge and his lean body is amazing. He was being gentle and I felt strangely safe around his arms. His groans and moaning makes me more aroused. He’s making my whole body melt.

“A-Asher..” I moaned.

He was holding on to his arms as he entered inside me. He was muttering words. Kind and sweet words that are too blurry for me to even understand. All I know is he was telling me how he cherishes me. He was saying words that I think I will forever hold in my heart. He told me things that we both will have in the future. He gave me sincere words of promise. These words will be kept just between the two of us. Somehow it makes me glad.
