Bab 63: THE 14TH ACCOUNT: CITY UNDER THE SEA 5
After the wedding festivities, Jacob and I were escorted in the Consummation Chamber. If the room that I was in before was luxurious, the consummation room was extravagant! There were red and white rose petals everywhere! Pearls and red and clear crystals were embedded in the walls. The bed was fit for royalty and was extremely huge with lace curtains hanging down. The sheets were white and gold silk with red petals scattered on them.
"Just make sure to lay down on the bed beside each other to make it look convincing," Boyt reminded us. I was not sure if he was serious or if he was teasing.
After his last reminder, Jacob and I were left alone. Awkward silence surrounded the room right away. I know all these were just pretenses to fool Ezekra into releasing us. But, the feelings between Jacob and I were real!
Jacob cleared his throat so I looked at him. I forced a smile to hide any awkwardness and anxiety that I may have. Jacob scratched the back of his head. This was the first time I could sense uneasiness coming from him. I was so used to him leading… and leading with confidence. I could not have him have double thoughts about anything.
"Jacob, don't.." I told him.
Jacob scrunched his forehead, "What do you mean?"
"Please don't doubt yourself now. You know I trust you…" I began. "I… I… do not know what to do… how to act… what to say… I'm very nervous right now," I said and took a deep breath.
Jacob gave me a gentle smile. He held out his hand, "Come."
I took it. He led me to sit down on the bed and then he took a deep breath and sat beside me. "Boyt said we have to lay down beside each other to fool Ezekra," I blurted out nervously.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Jacob asked.
"Do you?" I asked back.
Jacob tucked a strand of my hair in between my ears. "Can I kiss you?" he asked softly.
I nodded timidly, "Y--yes, of cour--"
He did not wait for me to finish my sentence. He gave me one kiss. Then, he looked at me. I blushed profusely.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
I nodded. He bridged the gap between us and kissed me one time again. When we parted, I looked at him.
"Jacob, please do not doubt my feelings for you. My name is Editha," I whispered so only he could hear.
He smiled at me and kissed me once again. This time, he did not stop. My lips moved on their own to respond. A proof that I already submitted to him. I was no longer in control of my own body and all I wanted was more of him!
I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt his hands on my waist and he lifted me up so I could end up on his lap. But, he never stopped kissing me! He tangled his fingers in my hair and took out all the accessories that were in it until my hair was let loose.
With one hand he pulled my head closer as his lips pressed harder. When I opened my lips, his tongue went in once more. I was lost in the moment. I felt him tighten his hold of my waist before standing up. Then, he pivoted and before I knew it, we tumbled on the bed with him on top of me.
His lips left mine but not me. I felt his kisses travel to my cheeks and then to my neck. I gasped to the new sensation that he awakened in me as his lips nipped, sucked, and nibbled lower and lower until I moaned.
Then, he stopped. I felt him breathe heavily and slid beside me. He put his lower arm over his eyes and clenched his fist hard. I sat up suddenly worried.
"Are you alright? Are you in pain?" I asked right away.
He chuckled in response. He took off his arm and looked at me, "In a way…"
"You're in pain?!" My worry grew and I was about to stand up to call for help but he grabbed my wrist.
"Just stay," he said.
"But you're in pain," I answered.
He smiled at me, "I'll be fine. It'll subside. Let's just talk."
I nodded, "Alright. What do you want to talk about?"
His hand slid from my wrist to my palms and he tangled his fingers into mine. "Why did it take you a while to tell me your name?" he asked.
I sighed and stared at him, "At first I did not trust you… then, it was to punish you for taking me…"
Jacob chuckled, "Is that so?"
I nodded, "Stella already knew my name ever since we were at Canupeer. I asked her not to reveal it to you."
"Well, would you look at that?" he said then kissed my hand.
"Then.. after a while… I got used to the name you gave me and my real name doesn't matter anymore… Besides, Editha is a reminder of the past I wanted to forget. She is not me anymore…" I gazed at him. "Am I making sense?"
"A bit," Jacob replied and took hold of my chin.
"I guess what I'm really trying to say is I'd rather you call me Darling. YOUR Darling," I said.
"MY Darling?"
I nodded. He was about to bridge the gap between our faces again but I also have some questions myself. "Neville mentioned that Paco told him that you practice self control when you fall in love. I deduced that you have fallen in love before. What's her name?"
Jacob stared at me for a second then sighed. "Would it suffice if I say that she is a forgotten past?" he asked me.
I shook my head. "At least tell me her name," I answered.
"Is it really important to you?" He gently rubbed my cheeks.
I nodded.
"Yazmine," he said softly.
