"..What?" I asked surprised by the request. Although I shouldn't be. It's Achlys after all.
"I cannot hold back any longer." His gaze moved down to my lips.
I had no time to push back or refuse, his lips entering the gap in my mouth, My hand instinctively wrapping around his neck loosely.
It was fierce, demanding, and possessive, his hand holding the side of my face while the other held my waist. I felt bad for the princess, but at the moment I couldn't help but melt into him.
He bit my lower lip, his tongue gliding over it in an attempt to soothe it. I gazed up at his shimmering eyes, just to be caught into another kiss. And then another one, and another, and another.
My lips were already swollen as I panted. My head was facing down this time. His kiss then glided down to my neck. I let out a soft sigh.
A knock was then heard on the door. "Your holliness? it's Martyr I have some things to discuss with you."
That only made Achlys continue, moving down to my collarbone, biting and sucking as my attire slipped down my shoulders, his grasp becoming firmer.
"Your holiness?" Another knock.
"Achlys...we..must stop." I whispered pushing against his chest weakly. Martyr knocked 4 more times. Coming to the conclusion I was not here, he had left, the sounds of his shoes clicking against the tiled floor becoming fainter.
"Achlys.." I whispered once more.
He seemed to mumble something before reluctantly leaving my chest. "Do you not have any sympathy for the princess?" I asked straightening my clothing.
Instead of answering the question, he took my right hand. "I see you are not wearing the ring, wife." His thumb brushed over my fingers.
"..." I tried drawing my hand from his. He put it up to his lips, looking me in the eye while doing so. Then a lick. I yelped drawing my hand back as he grinned.
"Are you a rabid dog?!" I asked clutching my hand near my chest. I held back the blush creeping on my cheeks to escape from his body which was over mine.
"Achlys you must let me go now." I said starting to scowl. "what is possibly more important than your dear husband?"
"..." I had nothing to say at that. I just wanted to be removed from this position. I also couldn't lie.
With no response, he had picked me off my feet. My hands wrapped around his neck once more. "What are you doing?" He was on top of the balcony. I was scared. I hate heights.
"..." he didn't respond only smiling at me before stepping off. I closed my eyes tightly. It didn't seem like we were falling.
"Open your eyes, dear." I shook my head violently, only clutching tighter onto him. I heard him chuckle. Bastard.
I squinted my eyes open, only for us to be 500 feet in the air above the temple. I could see the imperial palace in the distance.
I whimpered closing my eyes. "No no no no no" I chanted, turning pale. "Let me down please" I lengthened out the sentence.
I heard him laugh again. I gripped onto his shoulders in response my nails digging in his skin. "Achlys let me down right now!" I hollered.
"Are you sure you want that, dear?" His voice was sly.
"Yes!" I replied almost instantly.
I then felt myself falling. I opened my eyes, only to see the church getting closer and closer. I screamed like I was about to die. I was.
Right when I thought my body was going to splatter, I was caught. My body was still in shock, my breaths uneven, my hair disheveled. And this man, this devil, was laughing.
A genuine laugh, which I'm sure to others, would seem sinister. I was too shaken to even feel angry, soon enough I had come back to my senses.
I hopped out of his arms, my legs unable to hold me up, stumbling in Achlys' chest. I gritted my teeth in anger. "you.. you think that's funny?" I whispered
I clutched onto his lapel trying to steady myself. By now, he was done laughing, only trying to catch his breath.
His right arm was placed on top of my head fixing my uneven hair. "..I am going to kill you." I threatened.
"Goodness, dear." His statement seemed derisive. I straightened out my clothing. "I am leaving. And don't you dare follow me."
"No promises." He smiled, kissing strands of my hair before I had left. Only then, had I let my blush rise.
