Princess's Revenge: Slave to the Soulbound King Chapter 88

Lycanthar

I pushed open the heavy oak door to my chambers, my shoulders sagging under the weight of exhaustion. The long journey and the heated debates in the council had drained me both physically and mentally. But the sight that greeted me inside made my weary heart lift—Adelaide sat in the armchair by the fireplace, wrapped in a thin silk robe, the flames casting a warm glow across her raven hair.

"You're back," she said, setting aside her book and gracing me with a smile that could banish all my fatigue. "I've been waiting for you."

A surge of warmth flowed through my chest. Even on the darkest days, Adelaide's smile could restore my peace. She rose gracefully and walked toward me, her delicate hands reaching for the heavy royal cloak draped across my shoulders.

"Let me help you," she whispered, her fingers working to unfasten the silver wolf-head clasps on my robes. "How did the meeting go?"

I released a deep sigh, allowing her to slip the outer garment from my shoulders. "Garrick continues to oppose me," my voice heavy with weariness. "Even some tribal leaders raised objections."

Adelaide's fingers traced gently along my neck. "Because of me? Because I'm human?" There was a note of unease in her voice.

I caught her hand, pressing it against my cheek. "Yes, but no one can change the Wolf King's decision." I gazed into her eyes. "I've convinced most of the elders."

"I worry this will cause unrest," Adelaide's brow furrowed with concern. "I don't want to become a burden to you."

I leaned down, pressing my forehead against hers. "Listen to me, I love you. That's enough. I'll handle the rest. No one can stop me from making you my wife, my Wolf Queen."

Adelaide's eyes glistened with tears of emotion. She rose on her tiptoes, pressing a gentle kiss to my tense jaw. "I trust you, my Wolf King." A playful smile curved her lips. "Now, let me help you relax those tense nerves. I've prepared hot water and herbs."

She took my hand, leading me toward the bathing chamber. There, set into the floor, was a marble pool already filled with herb-scented hot water, flower petals floating on the surface.

I allowed Adelaide to help me out of my remaining clothing. My muscled frame gleamed bronze in the candlelight, battle scars crisscrossing my skin like a map of honor and glory.

I slowly descended into the water, feeling the heat embrace my weary body as the tension in my muscles began to dissolve. Adelaide knelt beside the pool, using a soft cloth dipped in water to gently cleanse my broad back and shoulders.

"This one," she whispered, her finger tracing a long scar that ran from my left shoulder down my spine. "When did you get this?"

I closed my eyes, savoring her touch. "Three hundred years ago, during the great war. A vampire elder's claws."

Adelaide leaned down, placing tender kisses along the old wound. "You've endured so much," her lips moved softly against my skin. "You've sacrificed so much for your people."

Her gentleness stirred something deep within me. I turned to face her, pulling her into my embrace. Adelaide's cheeks were flushed from the steam, her eyes reflecting the candlelight, beautiful beyond words. I lowered my head to kiss her lips—the kiss began soft as a feather but quickly deepened with passion.

When we parted, Adelaide's breathing had quickened. Her fingers slowly untied the sash of her robe, letting the fabric slip away to reveal her skin, smooth as silk. My gaze became heated as I took in her naked form in the candlelight, every curve perfect and flawless.

She slipped into the water, pressing close to my body, her hands caressing my chest. "Tonight," her voice was low and seductive, "let me serve my Wolf King properly."

I raised an eyebrow, a smile playing at my lips. "This isn't like you, my little moon." My fingers tangled in her dark hair. "But I love this surprise."

Adelaide's hands roamed across my chest, tracing the contours of each muscle. She leaned forward, her moist lips kissing my chest, her tongue flicking across my nipple, drawing a low groan from my throat.

Her kisses traveled downward, gliding over my hardened abs as I felt my breathing grow heavy. When she reached below the waterline, she looked up, her violet eyes meeting my golden gaze—those eyes held both innocent love and teasing desire.

"I want to taste you," she said softly, her lips parting before she submerged beneath the surface.

A jolt of intense pleasure shot through my spine as Adelaide's warm mouth enveloped my already hardened length, wet and burning hot. My head fell back as a low growl escaped from deep in my throat. My fingers buried in her dark hair, controlling the rhythm while being careful not to hurt her.

The water rippled with her movements, adding a new dimension to the sensory experience. Her tongue worked skillfully around my tip while her fingers encircled the base, gently massaging my sensitive sac.

I felt an unprecedented satisfaction—not just physical pleasure, but a profound spiritual connection. Watching Adelaide's form beneath the water, knowing this was the woman I loved, filled me with intense possessiveness and protectiveness.

As Adelaide's passionate ministrations continued, combined with the gentle caress of the water, I soon felt climax approaching. I tried to pull her away, but she refused to retreat, sucking harder. Finally, with a low roar, I released into her mouth.

Adelaide surfaced, breathing unsteadily, a mysterious smile gracing her lips. I felt new desire stirring within me. I quickly pulled her into my arms, kissing her lips and tasting myself there.

"You're so beautiful," I said roughly, my hands caressing her wet body, feeling water droplets slide down her smooth skin. "I want you, right now."

I turned Adelaide's body so she faced the edge of the pool. She complied, leaning against the smooth marble and giving me a look full of anticipation. Standing behind her, I gripped her slender waist and slowly pushed my renewed hardness into her warm channel.

"Ah..." Adelaide moaned sweetly at the sudden fullness, her fingers gripping the pool's edge tightly.

I began moving with rhythm, almost completely withdrawing before thrusting deep again. The water's motion added extra pleasure to our coupling, each thrust bringing waves that seemed to flow into her body, creating a wonderful sensation.

"Perfect," I breathed against her neck, my hand claiming her breast, thumb circling the hardened peak. "You belong to me completely, my beloved."

Adelaide's breathing grew more rapid, her body trembling with each thrust. I felt her inner walls contracting, knowing she was approaching the edge of climax. I increased my pace, driving deeper into her while leaning down to kiss her back and shoulders.

"Look at me," I commanded. Adelaide turned her head, and our lips met in a twisted but passionate kiss.

My hands spread her thighs wider, each thrust seeming to reach the deepest part of her body. My movements became more wild, water splashing as the bathroom echoed with the sounds of our coupling and Adelaide's rising moans.

At the final moment, I drove deep into her, nearly reaching her cervix, wanting to bury myself completely within her body, to become one with her. Adelaide cried out as she reached climax, her inner walls clenching around me, squeezing until I could endure no more. I bared my fangs and bit her shoulder with controlled force, savoring her sweet blood while releasing my desire deep within her.

We held that position, breathing heavily until our heartbeats gradually calmed. I gently withdrew from her body, turning her to face me and pressing a tender kiss to her forehead.

"I love you," I whispered, these three words feeling more real in my heart than any oath. "Whatever happens, I will protect you."

Adelaide smiled and nestled against my chest. "I love you too, my Wolf King." Her voice carried satisfied exhaustion. "I believe our love can overcome any obstacle."

I held her tightly, wishing this moment could last forever. In the face of the coming storm, all we had was each other and this deep, abiding love.
