Conquering His Cold Heart

52 Fiery Desire

“But now, I do that for you.”

‘Why would you kill for me?’ Anastasia wanted to ask her husband. However, she couldn’t voice it.

But Caspian answered her question without her asking him. The look in her eyes was enough for him to know what she wanted to ask.

“I can’t stand it when someone tries to harm what is mine. If anyone tries to harm you, then I will slaughter every one of them.”

Caspian lifted his hand and brought it closer to his wife’s face. He lightly caressed her cheek with the back of his palm and adored her lovely face.

And he asked her with great expectation, “Tell me, Anna. If I ever say that I truly fell in love with you, would you ever be able to reciprocate this monster’s feelings for you? It would be unfair to me if only I fell in love with you. And it would be unfair to you as well.”

Anastasia felt her heart hammering in her chest. And she asked herself, ‘Would I be able to love him? But haven’t I already started to? Even though he is scary at times...’

She kept on gazing at her husband’s mesmerizing eyes. Instead of answering his question, she asked her own question to Caspian, “Haven’t you already fallen in love with me? Feeling the need to protect what is yours... isn’t that what love is?”

She goofily pointed her brows at the novel that was on the table and added, “At least that’s what that novel told me.”

.....

Caspian chuckled at that sudden ad-lib of his wife. And he whispered, “I guess the novel is correct.”

He gently touched his wife’s lips with his thumb and asked, “But you are yet to answer my question.” He needed to know if Anastasia would love him back.

Anastasia clutched the book closer to her chest. She could see the desire and need for love in Caspian’s eyes. And she didn’t wish to hurt him by dodging his question.

Her eyes trailed to his face when she whispered, “I will reciprocate your feelings.” And she silently thought, ‘I think I already am.’

Caspian couldn’t explain how happy he felt when Anastasia agreed to love him back. Without even trying, a beautiful smile curved on his lips.

He gazed at her, and he tried to read his wife’s face.

Her emerald green eyes that were fixated on him looked like they were yearning for his love. Her breathing had become ragged. Her heartbeat had topped the chart. And her parted lips looked like they were demanding to be kissed.

How could Caspian deny her the pleasure when she looked at him like that?

Caspian rested his cold palm over her neck and leaned forward. His eyes were fixated on his prize.

However, when his lips were close to brushing against her warm and plump lips, Anastasia inhaled sharply and turned away.

Caspian didn’t know if he misread the situation or if she was teasing him on purpose. So he lightly pinched Anastasia’s chin and made her look at him.

And he asked, “Wife, is something bothering you? Or were you just teasing me?”

Anastasia knew that this wasn’t the right time to ask it. But she did it anyway. “Caspian, rather than killing that maid who tried to poison me, don’t you think imprisoning her would have been better?”

“No,” Caspian denied outrightly.

A subtle frown was visible on Caspian’s forehead. “Humans like her don’t deserve to breathe the air and pollute it. Neither do they deserve to acquire the space in a prison cell. The only place they deserve to be is in their tomb. No, they don’t even deserve a tomb.”

As they were already talking about it, Caspian took the chance to further update Anastasia about what he had done this morning.

“I found the main culprits who had conspired to poison you. I made them kill each other,” Caspian said in a very nonchalant voice.

“They killed each other?” Anastasia was surprised to know that there were more people behind it. And she was a little put off to know that Caspian had killed them as well.

Caspian leaned a little closer to her face and asked, “Don’t you want to know who they were?”

Anastasia gave a nod.

And Caspian replied, “Beth and a servant named Elias.” A hint of anger could be seen on his face when he took their names.

“Beth? You mean that-”

“Yes, the same woman who tried to intimidate you at our wedding ball,” Caspian replied.

“She’s dead?” Anastasia couldn’t believe her ears. She was also surprised to know that Caspian had noticed those women bullying her that night.

“Isn’t she someone from the noble family?” she asked worriedly.

“Noble or not...” Caspian pulled Anastasia close to him and said, “No one can even think of causing you any harm.”

A sudden fire rose in his heart when he felt his wife’s warm body against his. He couldn’t control himself any further.

Anastasia wanted to prohibit Caspian from killing everyone who tried to cause her harm. As she was a human in a vampire Kingdom, she was sure that the vampires would be dissatisfied with their King if he started killing vampires for her.

However, before she could utter a word, Caspian wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and her nape. And he vigorously claimed her lips.

Anastasia unintentionally dropped the book from her hand after the sudden intrusion of her mouth.

“Mmh! Caspian...” she tried to resist, thinking they were in the library.

But not just his smell, his taste was also so much intoxicating that Anastasia couldn’t help but part her lips even further to let him in.

Anastasia also wrapped her arms around Caspian’s neck and reciprocated the sweet yet invasive kiss.

All of her senses were taken over by Caspian, and he was the only thing that she could focus on at the moment. She forgot where they were. And she forgot what they were discussing just moments ago.

“Mmm...” she moaned as the pleasure she felt kept on getting better and better with each stroke of Caspian’s lips.

Caspian was no better. He kept on pushing deeper and deeper; his hands slowly sliding down to her hips. His moans of satisfaction kept on reverberating on Anastasia’s lips as his wife kissed him with equal fiery desire.

‘No one has the right to take this away from me,’ Caspian thought to himself as his wife melted like butter in his arms.
