Claudius Belles was in the midst of the crowd and the bonfire, learning to dance in earnest, when suddenly a large hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her violently into an embrace.
Her brow furrowed and she turned her face to see the possessive face of Edward the Third.
“The dance is over, come with me.”
Claudio Belles laughed and sneered, “It was you who pushed me to see me embarrassed, and now I am only interested in this dance and you push me away, President Eduardo, did you do that on purpose?”
Eduardo Tercero ducked his head and put it to his ear, “If you want to dance, come back to my room and teach me how to do it. But you can’t keep dancing here, my soldier, you’ll take my soul.”
Claudio Belles smiled awkwardly and rubbed his nose, was it so bad?
Eduardo Tercero took her slender hand in his and slipped out of the crowd while there were still people.
Hand in hand, they walked in the moonlight toward the bedroom.
There was warmth and peace between their intertwined fingers.
Claudio Belles looked at Eduardo Tercero’s newly thinned face, smiled slightly, and said, “I can’t stay here forever. When are you going to let me go?”
Eduardo Tercero looked at her, frowning a little reluctantly, more helplessly. “It’s true that it’s a little uncomfortable having you here with me, it’s not the right place, it’s not the right occasion, but it’s also true that I don’t want to let you go.”
Claudio Belles rolled his dark eyes and suggested, “How about this, this is the border, it’s actually very close to Z. I can come to see President Eduardo once every half a month, even after returning to Z.”
“Rather forgetting that you are not a common woman by nature, you have all the means to come from Z to the western border of R.”
Claudius Belles’ chin lifted and his eyes sparkled with amusement, “Of course, it would only take me a few hours to fly in a helicopter, but the next time I fly, President Edward will have to give me a signal, otherwise his soldiers will take me prisoner again. ”
“If they dare escort you like that again, I’ll get rid of them.”
Claudius Belles curved his lips, “Last time I did it because those two soldiers were your men, so I didn’t do it for love, the next time they dare escort me like that, I won’t be polite.”
Edward the Third reached out, drew her into his arms and hugged her tightly, “Then I thank you for not letting those two soldiers who were so rude to you, take your hands to your head.”
“That’s right.”
Edward the Third looked at her arrogantly alive and pretty little face and his heart fluttered slightly as he gazed at her with an uncomfortably deep and burning gaze.
“Claudio, would it be too little to see you once every half a month?”
“…” Claudius Belles looked up and met her gaze, “And how often do you want it to be?”
“What I want, once a week.”
Claudio Belles hooked his slender fingers around Eduardo Tercero’s beautiful chin and narrowed his eyes slightly. “President Eduardo, although you are a man’s man, isn’t it too much to ask that I fly to see you once a week?”
Wouldn’t it seem too much to ask for her to accept?
Edward the Third smiled softly, with loving eyes, and took her hand between his, “I can’t leave here, but if I could, I’d work at the barracks during the day and fly to you every night.”
“Deh, talk about pathetic. This is something I look forward to.”
Claudio Belles stepped forward with his hands behind his back.
Eduardo Tercero followed her, grabbed her arm and pulled her into an embrace, and the man spoke softly, so as not to belie, in her ear, “Once a week, no less, Claudio.”
Claudius Belles looked into her deep, floating eyes and let out a laugh, “Because you love me so much, I will reluctantly agree. But …”
“But what?”
She leaned against his forehead, a hint of slyness glinting under her eyes, “But … you’ll pay for the fuel for the plane back.”
Edward the Third gave her a long look, and a touch of warmth appeared on his forehead, and the man’s voice trailed off as he replied, “All right. A helicopter will do.”
Under the moonlit night, the man put his arms around the woman in his hands and lowered his head to kiss her.
…
Back in the bedroom, Claudio Belles leans into Eduardo Tercero’s arms and asks, “Once a week, what’s the date and when?”
“Let’s say every Saturday weekend, you come in on Friday night, spend the day with me on Saturday and then come back on the weekend in the afternoon, what do you think?”
Claudio Belles stroked his red lips, “It’s once a week to put it nicely, isn’t it three times a week in disguise?”
Friday, Saturday and weekend, see you for three days.
Edward the Third turned his face to look at her and deliberately sneered, “Why, is it too little? I don’t mind you flying in to spend the night with me every day.”
“Then I’d better stay here and come back to whatever Z is.”
Claudio Belles hadn’t been in many relationships before Eduardo Tercero, so he was a raw hand at things like relationships.
He didn’t know how many times a week other normal couples saw each other, he just thought that three days a week would be too much, so much so that it was easy to get bored….
“I think I could come in on Saturdays and go out on the weekend in the morning.
That way it increases the bond and you don’t get bored of him after a while.
Edward the Third stared at his thoughtful face, with a dark gleam in his eyes, and smiled slightly, “So, Claudio, will you be my weekend lover, and only for one night?”
“…”
Claudio Belles’ face, slightly heated.
“Who says I’m here to sleep with you, the initiative is mine to sleep with or not.”
Edward the Third looked at her playfully, hooking his thin lips and tightening his long arms around the girl in his arms. “Why does that sound so familiar?”
Claudio Belles raised an eyebrow, “Did I say it, or did another woman say it to you when you were with another woman?”
Eduardo Tercero doesn’t take the blame: “No other woman would dare say that to me, and I don’t think there’s another woman in the world who would dare talk to me about taking the initiative in these matters.” Claudio, ten years ago, was the first.”
Claudius Belles searched his mind for a memory, reminiscing about when they were in the cave, when the Claudius of that time had blurted out that it was up to her to do it or not, when to do it and where to do it, and even how to do it.
What a bossy woman.
Claudio Belles stifled a laugh and looked at Eduardo Tercero in disbelief, “So, Presidente Eduardo, what do you like about me?”
Dominant?
How inconsiderate to ask Eduardo Tercero to cooperate with her, even in a love affair, instead of her cooperating with Eduardo Tercero.
Eduardo Tercero smiled slightly, “So now you know how hard it is to like, huh?”.
This he says, naturally, in jest.
Claudio Belles hums softly, “If President Eduardo thinks it’s hard, then stop liking me, because there are plenty of women who like President Eduardo anyway. And there are even more women who are willing to cooperate and serve President Eduardo.”
She didn’t seem to care.
Eduardo Tercero glared at her, “You’re really not jealous? If I had an affair with another woman, wouldn’t you get angry and shoot me?”.
Claudio Belles was surprised: “How do you know I would shoot you?”.
Eduardo Tercero rolled onto his back and pinned her down.
The man looked at her with burning eyes and said, “Because the Claudio who was there said so. And every word Claudio has said to me, I remember too well to forget.”
It had to be admitted that Claudio Belles’ heart was moved.
A watery pleasure. A pleasure that pierced to the bone.
The more he does not speak of love, the worse the farewell, and the more he can only express with silent gestures that she does not miss him either.
