Ava
I woke up to Ethan looking at my face and grinning at me. I blushed and giggled, turning away from him in mock embarrassment.
“Uhn uhn, what was that?” I chuckled as I turned to the other side. “I didn’t think you would be here. I thought you had a meeting.”
“Yes, I did but we ended early.” He smiled as he turned me to face him and pulled me into his embrace. “I came in to get something and couldn’t help smiling at your beautiful face when I saw it.”
“Oh! Stop it.” I chuckled.
“I mean it. You look so beautiful while sleeping. With how peaceful and beautiful you looked while sleeping, I feel like getting you pregnant every season.”
I snorted. “Oh please, let’s not have that. That is all I ever do now. Sleeping till I am tired of doing so. I don’t think that I am ever going to sleep again after having this baby with how much I’m sleeping now.” I chuckled.
“Good. I need you well rested so our princess can be healthy.”
“It’s a boy.”
“How do you know?”
“I’m the one who is pregnant.”
He snorted and then smirked at me. “Oh! Don’t come up with the famous mother-to-baby bonding now. Did the baby tell you of its gender?”
“No, but I can feel it. I’m the mother.”
He snorted. “And I am the father.”
I smiled. “Are we starting an argument now on who is right?”
He chuckled. “You asked for it. I say it is a girl.”
“Why?” I arched my eyebrows at him as I asked. He seemed to be very sure of himself.
“I’m the king. I command it to be a girl.” He said, his tone filled with confidence as he stared at my belly.
I laughed. “Nice try, your highness, but you seem to be forgetting something. I’m the queen and can also command. I command it to be a boy.” I smiled, while rubbing at my belly.
He smiled. “I command us to stop arguing.” He said and pulled me closer into his arms, lowering his head to mine and had my lips in a kiss that got my toes curling in passion and my body coming to life quickly. I was awake. I was fully awake now. I didn’t think I was going to sleep off now. I wanted him. I wanted my man. I thought the only thing my body knew how to do now was to sleep but it seemed that it also knew how to respond to the man she loved.
I burned for him and couldn’t wait to feel him all over me and in me. I ran my hand through his hair, raked my finger through his chest as I pulled him closer and giggled when he let out a growl as I slipped my tongue into his mouth.
“Ava.” He groaned, my name sounding smooth from his mouth and turning me on.
“Ethan.” I moaned, responding to him.
His nostrils twitched and his eyes bore into me as they snapped open. “You are wet already.”
“Because I want you.” I smiled. I had never felt this intense and hot. I had heard that the hormones of a pregnant lady could cause her to be overly sensitive but I had no idea it was going to be this good when it had to do with sex. I could now relate to why Ethan wanted me pregnant always, it was indeed an enhancer.
“I want you too.” He said, slipping his hands under my gown so he could take it off.
We both stilled as we heard a knock on the door. He looked at me, asking with his eyes if I was expecting a guest. I shrugged and told him that I wasn’t. The only company I had nowadays was Mia and she had left the moment I fell asleep. I knew her well and knew she wouldn’t be back until the next day once I started to sleep while we were talking.
He decided to ignore the knock and was about to lower his head when we heard the knock again. I chuckled as he growled and almost felt pity for the person outside if not that they had interrupted me as well. I could imagine the terror that must have gone through the mind of the person as the king growled.
“Who is that?”
“It’s Aser, your majesty. The generals are waiting for you outside.”
“Oh! Thank you.”
“Yes, your majesty.” The maid said and we could hear her retreating footsteps.
Ethan cursed as he got off the bed. “I totally forgot. The men are meant to train before me today. I knew I was supposed to do something when I entered the house and I totally forgot.” He bent down and gave me a brief kiss. “You are truly a distraction, my love.” He grinned.
I got off bed as well. “Let me come with you.”
“It’s going to be rough. I’m sure you don’t want to see the men throw themselves all around.”
“Better that than stay alone in here and torture myself thinking of the sex that never got to happen. I need a distraction as well or I would burn to death here.”
He chuckled. “I’m sorry about that.”
“Oh, no problem, Ethan.” I smiled at him and meant it. “I know you want me as much as I want you and I understand when duty calls.”
“I want you so much, Ava, I can barely breathe.”
“Please breathe, your highness. I don’t want you passing out while your men are training.” I teased.
He chuckled. “I won’t.” He pulled me closer and whispered in my ears. “I can’t wait for tonight.” He said and kissed me.
I smiled, understanding what he meant. I couldn’t wait for the night as well. “Let’s go before the generals wonder what is keeping the king waiting and come by themselves to drag him out instead of sending a maid.”
He chuckled. “They dared not.”
“Don’t push them, your highness.”
“If you insist.” He said and walked out.
I laughed as I followed him out to the training ground.
The men were good as they had been said to be. I was impressed and hoped that we were able to conquer the enemy. I couldn’t believe that I was wanted as the prize to stop the war. I was surprised when I had heard of that term. I wondered who the crazy jerk was. What did he want with me? Did he think that I was going to go down without a fight?
It had never been asked that someone wanted a mate of another that had already been claimed. The person had to be delusional.
I believed I had an idea of who it could be but I didn’t want to be rash and accuse a wrong person if it happened that it wasn’t him. Of all the kings in the region, it was only one that I had met and believed knew who I was.
He had told me he liked me then and I believed I had told him in clear terms how I felt. I didn’t think he would still like me now after many years had passed and he must have heard that I was mated even if he didn’t know that I was pregnant. He had to be crazy if he was the one and thought that he could still have me.
I shook my head. It couldn’t be him. Not at all. I didn’t remember him until Ethan had told me of the letter. I was sure that he would have forgotten about me as well and that made me wonder who it could be that wanted me enough to start a war with my clan.
I didn’t even dare to tell Ethan of my suspicion. He would go crazy and lose it, charging straight to their land to confront the king and confirm if he was the one.
“Ethan!” I turned as I heard a scream and scowled at the lady running towards my husband with her arms wide spread.
Ethan looked surprised for some moments and then his lips began to twitch in a smile. I scowled as I looked between the two of them, wondering who the lady was and hating how bright and wide her smile was as she looked at my husband.
