She Belongs To The Devil

Both Adeline and Theodore were lying down on the bed facing each other. The Devil finally let the Princess out of his grasp after having a fill to satisfy his thirst for the night.

Adeline was covering her bare chest with a thin sheet of a blanket and she was staring intently at the flawless sculpture of the God. Theodore had already closed his eyes to get some sleep. But Adeline was unable to make herself fall asleep after everything that just happened.

She was still feeling breathless from the actions earlier. Her cheeks were flushing with a red glow. Every once in a while, the memories of Theodore kissing her everywhere would flash before her eyes. And every time, her heart would pound sensually, giving her the exact same ecstatic feeling that she had felt earlier.

She tried to go to sleep by forcefully closing her eyes. But the thoughts were not leaving her mind. Every time she would close her eyes, she would end up smiling to herself like a fool..

"Are you going to keep on smiling and giggling all night?" Theodore asked in his deep and enchanting voice.

Adeline flung her eyes open and giggled again. "You weren't asleep?"

"How can I when you keep on giggling and staring at me?" Theodore pulled Adeline close to him and began stroking Adeline's back.

Adeline raised her brows in surprise and asked, "You can tell I was staring at you even when you are closing your eyes?"

"Of course I can. Who could possibly resist this perfect face of mine?" Theodore grinned after praising himself.

Adeline could not help but chuckle at Theodore for claiming to have a perfect face. Yes, he indeed had a very bewitching face, so she couldn't say anything to him except agree to him, "Yes, I cannot resist staring at you. Everything about you is like a trap for me, I cannot turn away from you even if I force myself to."

"Did my little human just praise me?" Theodore had a proud smirk on his face. And he couldn't help but reward the Princess for that praise by giving her a soft kiss on her lips.

There was a silence between them for a while. But Theodore didn't like the silence so he whispered, "Since both of us aren't sleeping anyway, tell me how your day went, apart from getting beaten up by Osmond?"

Adeline took a long breath in and hummed for a while. She was not ready for this question at all because too many things had happened during the day which had almost turned her into a murderer.

"Well I went to the market today to see Agnes and then I discovered that Edwin has been charging higher taxes from the villagers and also has been ordering the Royal Guards to beat up the villagers if they denied to-"

Theodore interrupted her in between and then asked, "You went to see Agnes? What did she say?" Theodore was worried if she had revealed some things to Adeline which he wanted to hide from her for now.

"She said that Lillian was absorbing energy from the spirit world to make herself stronger. I thought she would be doing something much more dangerous than that." Adeline's eyes lingered away from Theodore as she still didn't quite believe that Lillian would be opening the doors to other worlds just to absorb some energy.

Theodore on the other hand let out a quiet sigh. He was not going to let Agnes escape easily if she had even said a word which would have hinted Adeline towards what was actually happening inside the Palace.

"So, what were you saying about Edwin? Isn't he the first son of Lillian?" He asked that so that Adeline wouldn't ask him about what his followers found when they spied on Lillian last night. It wasn't easy lying to Adeline every now and then.

"Yes. He has been torturing the villagers into paying more taxes. I was thinking of gathering some pieces of evidence about his betrayal to the Kingdom and presenting it to the King but Alan warned me saying that Edwin has already turned into a cold-blooded killer."

A hint of anger and frustration lurked in Adeline's sapphire eyes as she further explained what Alan had told her, "And Alan asked me to stay away from Edwin because according to him, if Edwin finds out that I had informed father about his bad deeds, then he would not shy away from harming me and the villager and everyone involved."

Theodore sighed and whispered, "The apples don't fall far away from the tree."

"But Alan is also the fruit of the same tree. And he is the opposite of those two. He was genuinely concerned about my safety and he even helped the villagers back there at the market." Adeline didn't want to think that Alan would someday turn out to be just like Lillian and Edwin. She wanted Alan to stay the way he was, gentle and caring.

Theodore narrowed his eyes and looked off at the walls. Something was cooking up in his devilish mind. And after thinking about it for some time, a wicked smile curved up on his lips. He was about to do something that a devil would be happy doing.

"Don't think too much about this Edwin. You are handling his mother very well up until now, so there's no need to worry about smaller fishes. Let's sleep for now." Theodore massaged Adeline's back and closed his eyes.

"Theo, what did the spi-"

Theodore's hand reached down to her bottoms and he squeezed it hard.

Adeline flinched while letting out a moan. "Theo!!" she furrowed her brows and looked at Theodore with a look that said 'didn't you have your fill already?'

Theodore smiled while still closing his eyes. And his hand motion began to slow down, making Adeline think that Theodore was falling asleep. But in reality, he wasn't ready to answer the question that she was going to ask.

Adeline caressed Theodore's chiseled jawline and closed her eyes, this time, vowing to fall asleep for real. And after about half an hour, after changing her sides for countless times, Adeline finally succumbed to her dreamland.

As soon as Adeline fell asleep, Theodore flung his dreamy eyelids open. He slowly removed her hand away from his body and sneakily got out of the bed. He opened the window of her room and then jumped out of it.
