May Death Do Us Part-Chapter 59

59 Chapter 59 : Did you enjoy yourself?!

“Stop spouting nonsense!” William yelled. He had been pacing Nathaniel’s chambers nervously as he listened to him explaining his connection to Ella. He stopped and glared at the silver haired prince who was sitting on his chair near the fireplace looking physically exhausted.

“I have no reason to lie to you William, I too didn’t understand what was going on till recently.” Nathan straightened his posture and looked at William.

“So that werewolf I saw that night in the library, that was you?”

“Yes..”

“And my little sister, you’re saying she’s not human?,” William asked Nathaniel again.

“She’s not, and neither is Adam.. look I don’t care about any of this right now,” Nathaniel spoke as he rose from his chair, “the only thing on my mind right now is I have to get my wife back.”

William chuckled and looked at Nathan, “you lied to Ella about everything just so you could get her to marry you, and now you stand here calling her your wife?”

“The fact is that when she said those vows she was handed over to me, weather you, or that bastard Adam like it or not,” Nathaniel growled, “so are you going to help me or not?.”

“I personally think she’s better off with Adam,” William responded, “I was never in support of her being with a selfish man like you.”

.....

The prince walked to his door and opened it, gesturing William to leave, “then if you’d please excuse me, I have to rest and prepare for my mother’s burial tomorrow. You’re no longer welcome here William.”

Ella was awakened by the sound of a loud thud and a muffled ‘fuck’ in the middle of the night. She sat up and saw Adam on the floor rubbing his head, “are you okay?” She questioned the man. It was a dark night so she could barely make him out.

“I’m fine, the couch might not like me very much.”

Ella chuckled before scooting to the other side of the bed, “come on,” she spoke while patting the space beside her, “there’s enough room.”

“No it’s fine,” Adam insisted, “I just have to make sure I lay as stiff as a board so I don’t fall off again. Just promise to take me to a chiropractor in the morning.”

“We have an early morning and I can assure you you’ll have a bad back by the time you wake up,” Ella spoke, “stop being stubborn and get in here, I’m not going to bite you, I’m not an animal.”

“Actually I’m more worried that I will be the one doing the biting,” Adam spoke with a mischievous tone in his voice which made Ella blush. “I’d rather battle with a bad back than blue balls.”

“Argh! Fine do what you want!” Ella covered herself and turned away from Adam, her face completely heated up. Suddenly she felt Adam wiggle his way into the bed making her gulp.

“Are you mad at me?” he questioned her, he sounded like a little boy who had just been scolded by his mother.

“I’m not, why would I be? You want to sleep in the couch then be my guest!” Ella responded firmly, her blush intensifying. Even though she was facing away from him she could still feel his eyes borrowing into her back.

“I didnt mean to come of as lewd or anything, I’m just being honest.” She felt him move again, and she could tell the gap between them had reduced greatly in size, “I’m only human, and you’re a very beautiful woman who I’m madly in love with. Could you blame me if my thoughts took me astray?”

“I guess not,” Ella’s voice was just a whisper, she didn’t know why she was feeling so embarrassed about everything he was saying to her. They had been together before so she should be used to him by now. Right?

“It was torture for me you know,” he added on, “back in Mirine when we dated, watching you everyday and never getting to touch you..” his hand reached out to her but he stopped himself, “I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be in bed with you, how your skin feels against mine.” Adam chuckled and then retracted his hand, “I sound like a total pervert right now don’t I?”

Ella smiled to her self and agreed, “you do. You always have been.” She turned around and gasped when she found her face just inches away from his. “You think I didn’t notice all those times you ogled me when we were together? Or the curses you mattered under your breath every time I hugged you.”

Adam flashed a sheepish smile that made Ella’s blush intensify, “so you just watched me suffer?” His eyes where drilling holes into hers, even in the dark she could see that his gaze never left hers.

“I was waiting for you to grow a pair,” she responded with a smirk. Adam laughed so loudly she had to cover his mouth with her hand, “what’s wrong with you, other people are asleep!” She chided him.

He brought his hand to hers and squeezed it lovingly before furrowing his brows at her.

“What’s wrong?” She questioned him, having noticed his reaction.

He moved his hand to her forehead and then to her neck, “Ella are you feeling okay?”

“I feel fine,” she responded confused, “what’s going on?”

“You’re freezing, are you sure you don’t feel sick?” His tone now sounded panicked, he grabbed the extra blanket from the floor, covered it over them and felt her temperature again. “I hope you’re not getting hypothermia.”

Now that he had mentioned it, she did feel a little chilly, but it wasn’t too bad, she figured it was probably because of the drop in temperature during the night. Adam tightly tucked the blanket around her and held her freezing hands in his.

“Ella, I’m worried about you, your hands are freezing and so is the rest of your body.” He was afraid she was getting hypothermia, usually people who had hypothermia felt a sensation of feeling hot while their body temperature was dropping drastically. He didn’t know what to do, it was too late to run her a hot bath, and given the conditions they had left meria, they didn’t get the chance to carry any warm clothes.

Adam suddenly sat up and peeled his shirt off his body, making Ella’s eyes bulge, “Wha- what are you doing?!”

“Trying to keep you warm..” he tossed his shirt aside and reached for Ella who shuddered and let out a tiny yelp. “Ella, you’ll get sick let me help.”

“Isn’t there any other way you can warm me up other than this,” she stammered, “I mean we’ve only just reconnected, there’s no need to rush into it!”

Adam looked at the redhead skeptically before chuckling in amusement, “oh I see, you think I’m trying to have sex?”

She blinked rapidly as she watched his amused expression, “well what were you planning to do?”

“I was going to cuddle you and use my body heat to warm you up,” Adam responded.

“Oh..” Ella hid half her face in the blanket and blushed, “well this is embarrassing.”

Adam laughed before pulling her close and wrapping his big arms around her. She couldn’t help but draw in his woodsy smell when her face was plastered between his pecks, how was it possible that he smelled exactly the way he did back then.

“Are you feeling warmer now?” He whispered to her while gently stroking her hair, “or should I take my pants off as well.”

Ella tried to pull away from him but his grip around her tightened and she remained in his embrace. “I’m joking Ella relax,” he spoke in a whisper, “there will be plenty of time for sex once we leave Meria.”

Ella hit Adam’s chest with her tiny fist when her face heated up again, “when did you become so shameless!”

“Ive always been like this, maybe back then you were just too innocent to see it.”

Ella pursed her lips, he could be right, back then she had zero experience in the subject of sex and attraction. It was just recently when she had first been with a man. The thought of Nathan formed a knot in her stomach, she couldn’t believe she’d given herself away to a liar like him, she felt betrayed and used.

Adam noticed her tensing up in his arms and loosened his grip so he could look at her, “what’s wrong?”

“Its nothing..” she didn’t look at him when she spoke, she felt like she had betrayed Adam as well. She should have kept herself for him, but she was a weak fool, hypnotized by Nathaniel’s wit and charm.

“Sorry you have to spend your wedding night with me,” Adam teased her in an attempt to lighten the mood, “if you want I can do what your husband was supposed to do on his behalf.”

“Adam please!” fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

“Why are you so embarrassed about it?” He stroked her hair and breathed in her sweet aroma, “didn’t you and Nathan have sex?”

Ella’s eyes felt like they would fall out of her sockets.

“I’d honestly be surprised if you didn’t. I saw how he looks at you,” Adam took a deep, he didn’t like the idea of Nathaniel being in love with Ella but it was what it was. “Plus you’re ridiculously beautiful, if I was in his shoes I’d get you to bed every chance I got.”

And that was exactly what Nathan did, if only she could turn back the hands of time. “I’m sorry,” she rasped, “I thought you had died and I was never going to see you again. If I had known you were-”

“Hey why are you apologizing?” Adam planted a kiss on her forehead and continued stroking her hair, “I don’t blame you for anything, if I actually died, I honestly wouldn’t want you living alone and miserable for the rest of your life. You had to move forward. The important thing is I’m here now, and I’m never leaving your side.”

Ella was relieved, she made herself comfortable in his arms and drew tiny circles on his strong chest, “what about you?”

“What about me?”

“Have you..” Ella paused for a minute, was that something she really wanted to know? “Have you been with someone?”

Adam’s breath hitched, he cleared his throat and thought hard about how to respond to her question, “like in this lifetime or-”

“Are you telling me you’ve been with other women in other lifetimes?!” Ella asked in shock.

“Well I..”

Ella pulled away from him and looked him in the eye, “did you enjoy yourself?!”

Adam pursed his lips trying hard to hold back a grin, was she really throwing a jealousy fit right now? After literally marrying another man? Oh she was so adorable.

“Well?!”

Adam ran his hand through his hair before pulling her back into his embrace, “if you keep pouting like that Ella you’ll have yourself to blame for what happens next.”

She froze when she felt a bulge forming in his pants.
