"How can you even-"
Adeline was about to protest but Theodore caressed her cheek and interrupted her, "Hear me out first. I think you remember that your demonic powers had gained their own characteristics." He paused and gave her a questioning look.
Adeline darted her eyes around recalling the times when she had acted very strangely as though she was not herself. And she nodded her head. "Yes, I was feeding off of people's fear. I even… I think I even fed off of Azriel's fear in the test."
"You did what?" Theodore's eyes almost popped out because of the shock. He was now sure that Azriel sealed her demonic powers because he was genuinely worried for her safety. And he was surprised as well as relieved that Adeline was still alive to tell the tale even after absorbing the aura from a child of God.
Such aura, no matter how small, would be fatal even for the demons and lower-level angels… leave alone the humans.
"Are you okay?" Adeline gently shook Theodore and asked in a concerned voice as he was staring at her without even breathing.
Theodore inhaled sharply and tightly wrapped Adeline in his embrace, "Do you even realize how lucky you are? You could have… d-died from the overflowing power. I know now that Azriel sealed your demonic power because it had already grown out of control. Don't hate him for sealing your powers because I believe that he had to do that. Else… I don't even want to imagine what would have happened if he had not sealed your power in time."
Adeline felt her heart hammering in her chest. From the way Theodore was hugging her and from the way he was speaking, she guessed that if Azriel had not sealed her powers, she would have been dead by now.
"I won't hate him for this then…" she whispered. "But I will still hate him for making me forget you. I don't think I can ever forgive him for that."
"Neither can I," Theodore whispered back as he lovingly stroked Adeline's hair.
Theodore and Adeline quickly ate their dinner as it was already getting cold. Adeline didn't have much appetite but she didn't want to throw the food after asking her maids to bring two portions saying she was famished.
After finishing up, she called her maids to clear up the table. Osanna took out the nightgown for the Princess and placed it on her bed before she went to pick up the emptied plates and bowls. They bid goodnight to the Princess and took their leave for the night.
After they left, Adeline picked up her nightgown and walked towards the bathhouse. Yes, Theodore had already seen her in her full glory but that didn't mean that she would now start to undress in front of him shamelessly.
However, her plan to do so didn't work out because Theodore grabbed her by her wrist and asked, "Where do you think you are going, carrying that nightgown? Are you planning to sleep in another room or something?"
Adeline smiled feebly and denied, "No, why would I sleep somewhere else? I am just going to change into my nightgown."
But Theodore kept on holding her by her waist and pulled her closer. And he teasingly whispered in his enticing voice, "Do you think that you will be sleeping with your clothes on? I will never allow that. So it doesn't matter what you wear now."
Adeline scoffed and spoke in a complaining tone, "Theo, but this isn't comfortable." Adeline tried to get out of Theodore's hold but to no avail.
Theodore picked Adeline up and gently made her lay down on the bed. He gave a playful smile to her and said, "Don't worry, I will make it comfortable soon."
Theodore stole a kiss from his woman and jumped on the bed beside Adeline. He gave a satisfied moan and said, "Ah! I missed this bed so much."
He lay flat on the bed and wriggled his body a little as though he was an excited little kitten. "Oh, this feels so good," he said in his hoarse voice as he turned to face Adeline.
"Yes, indeed," Adeline smiled as she ran her fingers through Theodore's feather-like hair.
Theodore gazed at Adeline intently and pinched her jaw. He gently lifted her jaw and leaned forward to kiss her. He sealed her warm lips with his own. Their lips began to move against each other in a harmony.
Theodore broke off from the kiss and looked deep into Adeline's sapphire eyes. He was happy to see that they were already glowing with anticipation.
And his eyes also began glowing red as he wanted more than just a kiss. He swiftly pushed her and made her lay on her back. Then he caged her in between his sturdy arms and pecked her lips again.
He then whispered while looking into her eyes, "I still can't believe that you can bring out my Devil this easily. You affect me so strongly, Adeline. You have enchanted me without even using a spell."
He softly kissed on Adeline's weak spot, below her ear, and whispered in a desperate voice, "I can't seem to get enough of you, Adeline."
Adeline was already feeling hot. She could feel her cheeks and ears burning. But she wanted the same as him. She smiled and whispered back in an equally hungry voice, "Good. You should never get enough of me. Because if you ever start to get enough of me then I won't be able to freely pour all my love on you. I fear that you might drown."
"You have that much love to offer me huh?" Theodore gave a devilish smirk and began to bathe Adeline with his warm kisses all over her neck.
Adeline ran her fingers through Theodore's hair and grabbed them. She pulled him up from her neck and answered seductively, "For you, yes. I can offer you the whole sea of love." She lifted her head and kissed him all over his face.
And then she looked into his red eyes burning with desire and added a bit melancholically, "Sometimes I fear that you might drown in that sea and feel suffocated. If you ever feel that way, you should tell me straightaway okay?"
Theodore slid his hand underneath Adeline's back. And he unfastened the string that was holding her gown. He kissed on her warm breast and said in a low voice, "I would never drown in the sea of your love, no matter how deep it gets."
Adeline felt really happy hearing his response.
Theodore pulled Adeline up and helped Adeline out of her gown. He swiftly took out his own clothes as well. And the two of them were lost in the sea of each other's love.
They were busy for the next hour, exploring each other's weak points and giving immense pleasure to each other.
They finally lay on their backs. They were both breathless but their faces had that afterglow. They kept on staring at the ceiling as their chests were heaving up and down.. And their fingers were entangled together, still yearning for each other's touch.
