Conquering His Cold Heart

145 A Step Ahead

Anastasia was walking down the corridor and was about to reach her room when she saw Percy heading towards her from the other end of the corridor.

Percy bowed to the Queen when the distance between them lessened.

Anastasia waited by the door because it looked like Percy had something to say to her.

As she had thought, Percy walked up to her and then said, “Your Majesty, the King has requested your presence.”

“Where is he?” Anastasia asked with a hint of happiness sparkling on her face.

Percy pointed in the direction where he just came from and answered the Queen, “He’s in his chamber, Your Majesty.”

“Oh, he is already in his chambers?” Anastasia was surprised to hear that her husband had finished his duties very early. But at the same time, she was also happy because she would get to spend more time with him rather than with the books.

Percy led the Queen to the King’s chamber and pushed the door open.

Caspian was already standing by the door, eager to see his wife’s face.

.....

“Wife.” He instantly extended his hand for his wife to hold; his face lit with joy at seeing his wife after six whole hours of separation.

Anastasia’s situation was quite similar to Caspian’s. She tried her best not to feel lonely by drowning herself in the world of fiction. However, there would always be this restlessness in the deepest corner of her heart, arising from the desire to be in the company of her husband.

She held Caspian’s hand and walked inside the room with a wide grin on her face. “You completed your work quite early today,” she praised her husband.

Caspian smiled at his wife and then glanced at Percy to give him a nod.

When Percy closed the door and walked away, Caspian wrapped his arms around Anastasia’s waist and pressed her body into his. He instantly felt the tender heat from her body, which warmed his heart as well.

He bent a little and locked his eyes with her beautiful green eyes. He then said in a loving whisper, “I missed you so much that I could barely read a sentence from the file, so...”

He gazed at her beautiful face and gently caressed her lips with his thumb. His thirsty eyes glided down to look at her lips, and he instantly leaned down to give a soft peck to his wife.

Caspian then said again, “So, I thought that instead of sitting there in the study and depriving myself, I would rather spend my time with my precious wife.”

Anastasia raised her brows and playfully asked, although she wasn’t oblivious to the feelings of her husband, “Oh, is that so? You couldn’t focus on anything else, huh?”

Caspian tightened his grip across her waist and agreed. “Obviously. How would I be able to focus on anything else when I see my wife roaming around alone in the garden?”

Anastasia wasn’t surprised to hear that. She had already thought that he would probably see her from his window.

Caspian lifted his hand and slightly adjusted her shawl wrapped around her head. He couldn’t help but appreciate her, “You know what? Red really suits you. I don’t know if I ever said this before, but... you look like a red rose that freshly bloomed in the snow when you wear red.”

“You never cease to flatter me,” Anastasia smiled ear to ear while her heart fluttered as usual. And she further added, “If you like red on me, then I will try to put on red dresses more often.”

Caspian couldn’t be any happier. “I would really love that.”

Anastasia swiftly wrapped her arms around Caspian’s neck and lifted her heels from the ground. She had only taken one glance at her husband’s perfect lips when a wave of desire washed over her heart.

And she couldn’t resist locking her lips with her husband’s. She instantly felt an explosion of tingling sensation in her heart. Even though her eyes were closed, she could feel her husband’s gaze on her.

So she opened her eyes and pulled away. “Close your eyes, husband. I bet I don’t look pretty so up close,” she said while giggling.

However, her husband inhaled deeply and kept on looking at her lips with his hungry eyes. “I just can’t seem to take my eyes off of you. You look pretty from any angle. And I don’t want to miss out on even a single expression that you make.”

“Caspian!” Anastasia giggled again and rested her forehead on his chest so that he wouldn’t be able to look at her.

But that didn’t stop Caspian. He swiftly picked his wife in his arms and whimsically narrowed his eyes. “Nothing can stop me from looking at you now, dear wife.”

And Anastasia looked at him with a surprised yet happy look on her face.

Caspian lifted his arm that was under her back and brought her face inches away from his. He leaned and pressed his cold lips on her. His tongue was quick enough to force its way into her mouth and hungry enough to gather all the sweetness from her lips.

Anastasia curled her toes and gently touched her husband’s sharp jawline. “Mhmm...” she couldn’t resist moaning in his mouth when he wildly invaded her.

And neither could he.

He felt as if there was still some gap between him and his wife. So he lifted his lips and swung her to make her wrap her legs around his waist. And he tightened his arms so much that her breasts were now flatly pressed into his chest.

Caspian went in for a fervent kiss again.

Anastasia slowly traced her palm on his back and reached his nape. She held him by his golden hair and kissed him back with equal fire.

Soon enough, she was out of her breath.

Caspian could sense that. So he spared her from intense pleasure and loosened his lips from hers.

She thought that her husband was ready to destroy her innocence in the middle of the day. So, she hurriedly warned him with a bated breath, “Caspian, it’s too early for that, don’t you think so?”

Caspian immediately burst into laughter and teased his wife, “I was thinking of taking you on a tour to the Capital, but it seems like my wife wants to... continue this.” He playfully shifted his gaze from his wife’s face to her chest. “If you want that, then I am not against it.”

Anastasia gaped her mouth and instantly crossed her arms above her chest. Her ears burned when she realized that she was a step ahead of what Caspian was thinking.

“Umm... A tour sounds about right at the moment,” Anastasia replied while catching on her breath and shyly looking away.
