(Caspian POV)
Walking into the mansion, Ashley's eyes widen looking around in awe.
I couldn’t resist being overjoyed in making my mate happy.
"You like it?" I asked, whispering close to her eyes. I noticed how her body shivered as my breath hit her body.
I smiled and moved back as I saw Abel walk in with Adella, my caretaker, and Abel's mother.
"Hello Caspian," Adella said as she slightly bowed before smiling at Ashley.
"I have heard so much about you," she said as she took my mate's hand.
Adella has been the one who took care of me when my mother was busy with her duties. Since Abel was somewhat my age range it was much easy for her. She was like my second mother.
Only Adella and Abel were allowed to call me my name when it is not so necessary to be formal. They are like family.
"Um thank you," Ashley said with a blush as she looked at me.
"Ashley, let me introduce you to Adella, Abel's mother. She raised me when my mother is not around so she is like my second mother" I said as she raised her eyebrow and looked at her.
"Oh, you are Abel's mother. I am sorry I didn't" she said as Adella smiled and fanned her hand.
"It is ok. Both of us understand" she said as Ashley nod with an apologetic smile.
She is not the first. Other than the green eye color, both of them are the exact opposite. While Abel is a white skinned guy with red hair, his mother is a beautiful chocolate brown with curly black hair beautifully styled.
"I will get the food ready. Why don't you show her the mansion?" Adella said as I nod.
"Come," I said as she nods and follows me.
I slowed my steps so she would be right beside me. I started showing her my mansion, starting with the living room.
At some point in time, both of us were very close to each other. At times our arms brush and I could feel the electric spark even through my full arm shirt.
As we walk up the stairs, I glance at our hands and gulp. Her hand was only a few inches away from mine. It was so close to my reach.
Suddenly she slipped on a step and I quickly grabbed her hand. She didn't fall or anything but just tripped but her small hand was now on mine.
Sparks exploded through my body and I know she felt it too.
"Are you ok?" I asked as she blushed and nodded.
"Yea. Sorry. Was lost in thought" she murmured as I nod. We continued to walk up the stairs and I could hear our raced heartbeat.
The sparks from our hands were evident but it died down considerably.
"Most of the room is spare," I said as she nodded. I showed her the library, gym, and all the other rooms.
"Those two are Adella and Abel's room," I said as she nodded her head.
"Where is yours," she asked and I couldn’t help but grin.
"Come on I will show you," I said as I pulled her with me. We walked to the very end of the corridor which leads to a dark brown.
"This is my room," I said as I opened the door with a smile.
"Oh wow," she said as she looked around.
"You like it?" I asked as she nodded with a smile.
"It's beautiful and elegant," I said as we walked in.
There was not much in my room but Adella arranged it in such a class and just how I like it.
"You could be a prince for all that I have seen," she said as I raised my eyebrow.
"How so?" I asked as she looked around.
"Well. Princy name, a castle like mansion, an elegant prince style bedroom, people around calling you sir and all" she said grinning as I laughed.
"I could be a king and you could be my queen," I said as she let out a huffed laugh.
I moved closer to her as she turned her body to me.
"Ummm," she said as she took a step back. I advanced her like a predator as she moved back. Her back hit the wall as I mentally smiled.
"I would love to be your King" I leaned down and whispered in her ear. I could feel her heart beat much fast, equalizing the speed of my own.
"You... Umm... I" she started to fumble as she looked away from me.
"Finding it hard to speak?" I asked as she glared at me with her blushed face making me laugh.
"Sorry, I had to tease you. You are so pure and beautiful" I said as I leaned in. Her eyes widen but after a few seconds of stares, she started to move in.
We were so close that our lips were touching. She closed her eyes and I followed her. My lips met hers and I felt the strong bond flow through us.
I felt it strengthen binding us together even more. I moved my lips slowly against her soft one. The sparks were just adding intensity to our magical experience.
I lightly bit and moved my lips in sync with her. I could feel the strawberry flavors taste of lipstick.
My hands went around her waist bringing her close to mine. Her hands wrapped around my shoulder, her fingers tangled in my hair.
The kiss didn't involve any tongue action. Just mere pure bliss.
She hummed and deepens the kiss, tightening the hold on my hair. My core ignited as I pulled her more to closer to my body.
I wanted more. I wanted much more.
But I knew I had to restrict. With difficulty, I pushed her back. She was breathing heavily as her eyes hooded and in a daze.
She was a human so she has lesser breathe than me who can hold in for a long time.
"I am hallucinating?" she mumbled as I frowned.
"Your eyes are glowing again," she said as my eyes widen. I quickly closed them and controlled my inner dragon strength before opening them.
She still looked in a daze and I couldn’t blame her. A mate bond is something really powerful. By kissing we have strengthened our bond so she is definite to fell the bond much stronger.
"Let's go have dinner?" I asked her as she nodded, still in a daze.
I paused and moved closer to her ear.
"Fix your dress and hair first, my beautiful queen," I said as her eyes widen. She immediately turned to the mirror and gasped.
Her face was red and she was still breathing heavily. Her dress was distorted and her hair was a mess. She immediately started to fix herself up and I too began to do the same.
Once we were done we quietly walked out of the room. Somehow I got the courage as I grabbed her hand making her head snap to me.
"Is it ok?" I asked as she stared at me.
A second later she nodded her head making me smile wide like an i***t.
"Thank you," I said as I kissed her hand and tightly held it making her looked down with a small smile.
Things are just going perfectly.
