Bab 281: Seductive Touches

In contrast to his wife, Drayce appeared to be in deep concentration, focusing on nothing but the sensation under his fingertips, seemingly savoring every inch of her face like an unexplored treasure. Her skin, initially cold, had started to warm under his gentle touch. 

'Is my Queen blushing?' he wondered. Was it the rosy kind of pink on her cheeks, or a deep red that spread till her ears? However, his wife's appearance remained covered by shadows, and he could only imagine what she would have looked like under his seduction. 

How enchanting she must look, with those gem-like purple eyes staring up at him with shyness and innocence...

His hands settled to cup her delicate face with both his thumbs caressing her cheeks. He then leaned down, moving his face closer to plant a kiss on her forehead. With his eyes closed, his lips still lingering on her skin, he could not help but inhale her sweet scent.
