You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 708

The moonlight never seemed more dull when compared to the violet in his eyes.

"Hm-hm-hm hm mhmh hm-hmh-hmm~" — I began to hum delighted by his wide eyes, just like the night I started to fall for this man. Smiling as I asked. — "Good night, my love... do you recall those playful hums?"

I saw his expression struggle from above. It infected the overwhelming feelings he was experiencing perfectly... and when he decided to only show delight, only a few seconds passed for him to make it to my side.

His disappearance from his spot only insinuated his soon arrival and his figure, shaken by the sight of me, he came nearer with growing speed once he finally answered to my call.

"Anne..."

"Yes, Zel... it is I." — I was happy to be this weak, to feel everything tenfold stronger.

The passionate embrace although it hurt was delectable as I could feel him again so vividly. His hands desperately held onto my figure as it was checked as if not believing the moment, and I felt his tears fall while he breathlessly kept me closer, wanting to absorb me to make sure that who he was holding was real.

"You’re aWake... fInally, my lOve...!"

"Yes... I am sorry again... this was the last time... I swear." — He looked at me persistently. Kissing every bit of my face gently, every single corner, peeking at me to assure himself that it truly was me who he had in front of him... but never kissing my lips.

"Anne."

"Yes?"

"Anne."

"Yes? Zel?"

"... you truly are answering me..." — He broke down with more tears while nuzzling my cheeks and cheekbones. — "Keep talking please, my love... I need to hear you."

"Hahaha~ is that why your kisses won’t reach my lips?"

"... yes... so speak to me... I won’t release you until dawn... for then I will know if this isn’t one of those hurtful dreams where you disappear, Marianne..."

"That’s fine... don’t release me. I wish to be in your hands for as long as I can, Zeleskiaz."

His promise was kept as excessive as it felt. Yet how could I complain, when I know his heart had suffered because of myself?

"? You are closing the doors?"

"Yes... so you won’t escape." — Taking me to his chambers, he walked me in to one of the couches, sitting while pulling me so I would land on him.

"! I won’t escape."

"... in my dreams you do..."

"I see... It’s alright then. I will stay wherever you tell me."

"... You’ll stay here like this." — Hugging me tight, his nose buried itself on my neck, letting me smell his scent while he also drugged himself with mine.

"... that’s ok... but... wouldn’t it be better... erm... more comfortable I mean, if we moved to your mattress however?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Zel?"

"I don’t want it to be one of those dreams yet... we need to marry first."

"... okay..."

It felt a bit embarrassing, yet I understood his feelings. Even if we wanted, it was too fast and his mind wasn’t even able to handle my presence at the time... hence, his arms never stopped wrapping my body that night. We slept just like that... and it was the alarm from those outside that woke us that dawn.

"Zeleskiaz! Lady Marianne is gone!!" — We heard Biel say while almost knocking down his door. — "D*mn it!! Where is he!? You go look outside! Search the whole Empire!! If he’s inside I’ll try to get him out somehow!"

We both had already jumped awake at the ruckus but it was I who first talked.

"Uhm... they are searching for me. For us... Someone must have noticed I am gone..."

"..."

"It is best I go out so they won’t worry— gasp! W-what is it???" — To my attempt of standing up he pulled me back, looking at me wide-eyed.

"You’re really here, love."

"... yes, as I was saying last night— mph!"

This time my lips were finally kissed by my man. Making me drift without a doubt into the lovely taste of his mouth. The noise outside was nothing we could care about. Nothing much could be done when his hand was making sure my head wouldn’t have space to separate.

"Hmf mm~... Zel..."

The dismay I felt from such a deep kiss... I hope I will feel it often starting today.

I was breathlessly rejoiced by the difficulty. His tongue and hands were doing wonders in making me shudder from just a kiss... and sitting on his lap wasn’t making it easier for my legs to remain strong. Yet it was eventually himself who put an end to it after Biel started to say he would open the door by force if he didn’t come out.

"F*ck it!! I know you’re depressed but you should be answering to this!!"

"Anne... I’ve made your lips a tad swollen... Sorry, my love."

"?! W— truly?!"

"Yes.... They look ready for me to bite but..."

"Guys step back! I’m bringing the door down!"

"I’ll eat you thoroughly later."

That... was only the start of my comeback.

*******

The welcome was chaotic, emotional and... funny?

"Mai laideeeeeeei~! Sooooobs!!" — Is all I can remember from Paige.

"Paige, please calm down..."

"Take her somewhere else for now, Vitor... we cannot talk when all she does is cry like this." — Dad said while hugging me tormented by Paige’s known nature, along with Theressa who held onto me crying silently along with Dioclecià.

"... I think it’s fine... haha..."

"It is a pleasure to see you my lady." — Theodore said, much more composed... hiding the tears behind his glasses while Jasmine stood next to him waiting for her turn.

"Thank you, Theo... you look well."

"Finally, you woke up."

"Hahaha~ yes, it took me a while, huh? Jasmine, do not be mad..."

"... I am not mad." — Her tightened lips couldn’t manage well enough her tears, and so losing to them she jumped at me, uncovering the fairies hiding in her hair. — "I missed you so much!!! I have many troubles, Marianne! Why weren’t you waking up?! The fairies won’t leave me alone!!"

"Oh, haha~ they are annoying right?"

"Ninth! That is mean, Ninth!"

"Yes! How mean!!" — A little surprised that Jasmine lost some of her elegance while whining about this, I pat her back while the fairies attacked me with glares. Letting me hear between their bickering how more people arrived at my chambers.

"Hurry my love! Where’s the cute child!!?"

"Goodness... Don’t run, husband, your knee isn’t good enough to run yet."

"We can’t be more late! I can’t believe we are doing our entrance this late!!"
