Chapter 512: Slipped Into Darkness
The queen was a beauty to behold. They all stilled with the swords in their hands, gawking at her. They had never seen a woman so scantily dressed, let alone a queen. They blinked once and then twice as if to test that they were not hallucinating. As for Rolfe, his heart thudded like it was going to leap out of its ribcage. "Sweet mother of demons!" he muttered. Was he dreaming? How was this possible? He was surely having delusions.
When realization hit, Rolfe growled. He growled like a beast. His treasure, his possession was— "Everyone. Leave, now!" Rolfe ordered but before they could leave, he snapped his fingers. The guards found themselves tossed in the garden under a pouring sky.
"Rolfy!" Iona shouted as she spread her arms to him with a wide grin. And Rolfy, he dropped his sword to the ground, tore the box and swooped at his wife.
"Iona!" he scooped her in his arms and pressed her against his chest. "Pinch me. I hope I am not dreaming!" he said.
Iona laughed and laughed, reveling in her husband"s arms. She swatted him on his chest and then wrapped her hands around his neck to inhale his woodsy, pine scent. Rolfe sat down with her on the ground and just held her like she was a long-lost treasure. He rocked her back and forth, mumbling every sweet word he could remember. Until a few minutes back, he was so upset that he felt his life was about to end, that perhaps she would never return. And now—G.o.ds, the surprise was beyond words. "I missed you. I love you. Iona…" he said in a shaky voice, trying to find more words but only these came out again and again. He bent down his head to affirm that he wasn"t dreaming, and then again rocked her. "Iona…"
When he was a.s.sured that she was with him, when his heart settled a little, he picked her up and walked to the bed. He waved his hand in the air to clear the mess on the table and made her lie. She was looking so beautiful and s.e.xy in the red teddy that it was impossible to resist her. He removed his clothes swiftly and then crawled over her. "My love," he said in a low husky voice and bent down to kiss her on her forehead. His eyes filled with tears. "I can"t believe that you are with me…" he kissed the tip of her nose and then brushed her lips.
"Rolfy…" she whispered his name. her hands went up to his neck and she threaded her fingers in her hair. "Did you miss me?" she asked, staring in his pine green eyes.
"Every minute, every second of the day…" he replied and realized that he was holding his breath. Bending down he kissed her lips once more and she opened them for him. He delved inside immediately and explored her again while moaning. His c.o.c.k was hard as granite and he pressed it against the silk covering her s.e.x. With one hand he removed the lace from her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and squeezed them. Her nipples were taut and waiting for him, so he left a trail of kisses on her neck and went to her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. He flicked them and then sucked them in, taking a large part of areola. She cried and arched her body for him to take more. And he sucked greedily. He groaned as he sucked hard. With the other hand, he ripped apart her red teddy.
He took his finger down to her c.l.i.t and stroked her over there with his thumb while he took his finger inside her and pumped her. "Come on my finger, Iona!" he rasped and pumped her hard. She bucked her hips in his hands. She came too soon crying his name.
Not able to wait anymore, he positioned himself between her thighs and then thrust himself inside her.
"You are so wet!" he said. "Only for me!" She felt so good that he started moving like a piston in her, chasing his release. And soon he followed her with a bellow to the sky. Not enough, the demon took his wife again calling her name. When he slumped beside her, he pulled her to his chest and covered them both with soft furs. "Welcome home, love," he said and kissed on the crown of her head, his tension gone just like that.
Iona closed her eyes and mumbled sweet nothings. She was dying to come to her mate and this was the way suggested by Anastasia. She had come up with the plan in the afternoon. When Anastasia had come to her room in the evening, she was carrying the red teddy lingerie with her and had asked her to wear it. Though Iona was shocked, she wore it and then the servant had helped her pack in the box. The box was sent through various portals by Adrianna to reach Galahar in time.
After Dmitri"s intervention, Adrianna had agreed to send Iona back, but then both she and Dmitri followed her. Since Dmitri had said that she could spend time at Galahar with her daughter, Adrianna decided to do just that. And her husband followed her happily. It was Anastasia"s idea to send her to her husband packed in a box.
"Mother and Father are also here with me," she said in the end as she told him why she came before the end of two months.
Rolfe closed his eyes and then buried his face in her neck. "Don"t leave me again like this…" he murmured against her skin.
"No…" she replied and closed her eyes too. The two slept immediately after that, in each other"s arms.
Aed Ruad gazed around the main head table and except Ileus and Anastasia, no one else was there. Where was Iona? Did she not come? Has his mission failed yet again? With shaky hands he served food to all of them and avoided Ileus and Anastasia.
"Give fresh bread over here!" Darla instructed him to come to her and Anastasia. Aed Ruad lowered his eyes and then limped up to them. The woman he was forcing to marry her… he was serving her as a servant. Anger mixed with hatred filled his heart and mind. He wanted to kill her and was so close to it, but he controlled himself. Now that Iona wasn"t going to come, he planned on aborting his mission. Why would he risk his life in harming Anastasia? Ileus would kill him for sure. As soon as he served her with bread, something sharp p.r.i.c.ked him on his left b.u.t.tock. It was like the sting of a bee. He pressed his lips out of pain, and then dashed out. As soon as he was in the bathroom, he lowered his pants and saw a red patch right in the center. He scratched it, but why was he feeling dizzy? He pulled his pants up and was about to call his spy, when his vision turned black. "f.u.c.k," he said. He realized that he was standing with his back to Ileus.. Aed Ruad slipped into darkness.
