The Royal Contract

Chapter 303 - The Different Bonds

Dani stood at the railing of the rooftop. It had sufficient allowance from the edge of the building, making it relatively safe to stand on its side. She stared at the scenery before her, marveling at the view at her vantage point.

For someone who grew up in this city, she never found it tiring to stare at the beautiful skyscrapers that grace the dark backdrop of the New York skyline.

"How did you discover this place?" She asked as she felt Alex stand behind her.

When she finished the last bite of her dessert, she excused herself and stood up to check on the view. She felt like her stomach was about to explode as Alex continued to feed her. She needed time for a light stretch.

She knew she would need a few runs this week to burn all the calories she had consumed tonight, or else it might all convert into fat, which would be harder to burn eventually.

"Your dad mentioned it to me in one of our conversations. I decided to check it out and found it perfect. I immediately thought that you might like this place." He explained as he handed her a glass of wine.

He only recently discovered this place, and he agreed with Ethan that it did have enticing charisma. It had its unique appeal that only people who loved the city life could appreciate.

After a few minutes of gazing at the sky, he felt the wind was starting to pick up. He also noticed Dani was slightly trembling, so he immediately took off his coat and placed it on her shoulders to protect her from the cold.

"I do love it. It reminded me of why I always love this place." She spoke up louder as the wind carried her voice with it. Her hair moved sideways, dancing with the steady breeze that was starting to pick up its speed.

"I can see the appeal in it." Alex acknowledged, despite the city, having the highest crime rate. He could see why it was still considered one of the greatest cities in the world.

A puzzle to many tourists and the likes but something a true new yorker knew by heart. It was the spirit of the city that never sleeps. It was the constant blinking of lights and horns on the streets. It was the people who were always on the go.

"It just brings up a lot of childhood memories of Dad showing me why he could never leave this city." She told him as her mind toured her back to memory lane.

"But I think we should move back to the apartment. I don't want you to catch a cold with this wind." He could already slightly feel the chill in the air.

He wished to enjoy a few more moments with her outside. He could listen to her stories about her childhood in this beautiful and wild city all night. But he did not want to risk her health and safety.

"Yeah, you are right. It is getting colder, and we both could not afford to get sick." She could see that his thin shirt was not enough to protect him from the cold weather. She did not want him to catch the flu too.

He guided her back to the elevator, leaving their dinner to the people in charge to clean up. As soon as the door closed, he could only think of one way to warm them up.

He pulled her closer to him, but since they were alone in the lift, he was able to wrap her up in his arms in one swift movement. He continued to stand behind her as he started nuzzling her nose on her neck.

Savoring the sweet scent of her perfume that mixed with her natural scent, he continued to drop a few kisses on her exposed skin. "What are you doing?" He heard her whisper as he never stopped with his administrations.

"Just warming you up from the chill outside." He knew that it was more than that. But he never felt her resistance. On the contrary, it appeared that she welcomed his advances.

It was a short trip. Once the door opened, Alex immediately pulled her up from her feet and carried her bridal style to his apartment. He could not wait anymore to have her in his arms again.

But he was not going to expose her to the cameras that littered the entire hallway and elevators. He could still wait until they were in the safety and privacy of his apartment before he had his ways on her and vice versa.

"What's the hurry?" She asked, smiling at the way he was speeding up in the hallway.

"Because I..." He stopped as he opened the door and secured it once they were inside. "I need to do this." He dropped her by the door and pinned her body against it and in his.

He locked eyes with her, stopping whatever witty remark she was about to say. He lowered his head, claiming her lips in one passionate kiss.

He abandoned her lips to give her time to recover her breathing. His lips traveled down her neck, continuing where he left off earlier. Then, his hands began roaming her hips, down her thighs, and around her butt.

It gave him more control of her body as he played her like a musical instrument, making a rhythm that only produced quality sounds. She moaned in precision with his ministrations.

"What do you want me to do?" He asked her as she writhed in his arms, unable to control her lust-filled eyes from showing her innermost desires.

"Anything and everything?" She was indecisive, unable to voice out what she wanted from him.

Acting out what she wanted in their sexual relationship was never easy for her but verbally telling him what she expected from it was far worse.

She might have started exploring her sexuality with him, but she was still far from completely being comfortable with the entire sex experimentation.

"You know that you need to be able to tell me someday specifically what you want. I want you to be able to express yourself sexually to me without any inhibitions." He encouraged her by pulling her chin up and making her stare into his eyes.

"I am trying, but it is not that easy." She knew that she could trust Alex with her life, with all her secrets. But when it came to sex, she was still trying hard to learn more.

Maybe she needed to read more about how she could unleash her sexuality. Maybe there was a simple way she could obliterate her inhibitions regarding the different sexual positions.

Because she also wanted to give us much pleasure to him, the way he had provided her the best sexual experience of her life. She wanted to be able to return the favor.

"I need you to be able to trust me completely with your mind, your body, and your heart for our relationship to work and last long." He whispered to her as they both stood still by the door, unable to move.

He believed that marriage was not just having a strong emotional connection for it to succeed. It was only one component.. The rest was a combination of the different bonds they had to learn to form and strengthen.
