Chapter 11: Unknowingly caring

Enrico's POV

As soon as everyone noticed that Kiara had left the palace, I called my two trusted knights to come with me. I told the butlers and maids to take care of Viciel and my children. She went on her own.

I thought she was still crying like a baby and mourning her father's sudden death. I shouldn't get nervous and should go to Kate because I know she's already mourning, but why am I running towards that woman?

Damn! Is it because of our contract? How can she think recklessly and leave?

"We know a shortcut route, your majesty. Let's go this way!" Marco says.

I followed him, and he let me go first as they both guarded my back. I hope that Kiara is okay!

It took us an hour, which should have been three hours because of that shortcut. We heard a commotion and saw Kiara, which created a boundary of fire between her and the vampire clans.

I jump off the horse and dash toward her. I grab her waist and look at the king of vampires. I remember the rumors that he's been trying to court Kiara before our wedding, and the way he looks at her seems to be true.

"Eh? Your majesty, what are you doing here?" Kiara asks.

"What are you doing here, King Wesley?" I ask and ignore Kiara's question. He smirks, and his eyes turn red.

"The same reason why you're here, prince of Elementos. You shouldn't let your lovely wife roam around like this. Duchess, you are still as gorgeous as I remember. By the way, I am here to give you my present. You will love this, and maybe you'll consider my sincerity," Wesley says.

He threw something, which landed on her feet. They turned into bats and flew away. My jaw clenched. She takes my hand off her and crouches down to pick something up. Her eyes dilate, and she gasps.

"My parent's wedding rings..." Kiara whispered.

I notice the anger in her eyes. The fire wall she created disappears. She turns around and looks at me before losing her balance.

I grab her right away, and she grabs my clothes and looks down. She's still weak and unstable, and yet she comes here for what?

I think she doubted whether I would send royal knights to find her dad's body. I grab her body and stand up. I look around, and you can't see anything other than trees. Sam speaks.

"Marco, create a shelter using your abilities under that tree," Sam suggested.

We went to that tree, and Marco manipulated the ground and created a cave. They keep their distance and guard us. I put her down and let her lean on the wall. Kiara hugged her knees and scoffed.

"Go on and laugh. I don't care any longer," she stated.

I raised my hand and held her cheek. What is wrong with me? Why am I acting like this? I lean forward and kiss her without asking her permission. She moans and gasps.

Her lips were so soft, and her saliva tasted like honey. My body reacts in a way I never thought it could. I never remember what really happened that night, but... shit!

I was drugged at the time the twins were conceived. I just remember her warmth and the fact that I woke up while lying next to her.

We are both naked, and when I ask her what happened, Kiara simply says that we did it, but it's better if I don't remember what happened.

When we parted, I saw how red Kiara's face was. Her ears were also red, and she looked flustered. I pulled down my tie and unbuttoned the first three buttons of my clothes.

She looks surprised, but I didn't let her run or even question me. I sealed Kiara's lips once again and caressed her soft and luscious legs as I entered inside her skirt. She places her hand on my chest, trying to push me, but I'm much stronger than she is.

This is wrong. We entered into a contract, but I can still control myself. But why am I acting like a wild husband who hasn't touched his wife because of her pregnancy? Why am I excited and longing for her after seeing her expression like that? Fuck!

My hand moves on its own and unzips her dress. I pull it down and stop kissing her as soon as her upper half is exposed.

"Your majesty, what's wrong with you? I am not Kate. Stop it," Kiara says and covers herself.

I smirk and pin her hands above her and hold them using my right hand. I lift her chin. I was just this woman, and it's too late to turn back. Using my other hand, I undress myself while I let her watch me as I do so.

Kiara's eyes look different, and I've already noticed that since the day she came back from the hospital. I unbuckled my belt, pulled down my pants a little, and let go of her hand. I lift her skirt and hold her waist.

I kiss her right away before she can make a sound. Damn! I never thought I was so aroused that my manhood slid straight into her wetness. My hips move on their own and slowly thrust inside her.

This warmth, her scent, and her tightness feel familiar. My mind slowly recalls what happened that night. We both moan in a controlled voice to make sure that my trusted knights won't be able to hear us clearly.

Kiara wrapped her hands around me, and I saw her expression. She also feels good, just like me.

"Enrico… I'm—oh gosh!" Kiara moans.

I held her closer as I breathed heavier while moaning too. Her insides feel so good that my manhood is growing harder. I know she is closer to her climax than I am.

"Kiara! Uhmp!" I moaned.

She kissed me as we reached the climax. We breathe heavily and lean on each other. I'm doomed. I can't stop myself any longer.

We didn't say anything until Kiara broke the silence. "Let's forget this. This never happens. But... thank you for sending your men to look for your father's body. I'm sorry as well for leaving the palace without a word."

I look at her face. She is sorry and embarrassed. Kiara averts her gaze, but I lift her chin so she can see me.

"Don't act recklessly again. You should know that both the kings of werewolf and vampire clans are into you."

"Your majesty… perhaps, are you jealous?" Kiara asks.
