As late as 9:00am in the morning, Marceline was still sleeping peacefully and she could proudly say that her dumb wedding night never took place.
A small hidden smile adorned her soft face and her eyes remained closed peacefully as she lay on the bed not wanting to get up and very sure that the prince was sleeping on the not so comfortable couch in Aurelia's royal room.
She didn't want to wake up, for once she felt okay, she felt happy and she didn't want to lose that feeling. She felt the bed deepen down as if someone had climbed on and she frowned, the maids would never climb on the Princess's bed.
Her eyes instantly snapped open and at the same time, a good looking face came into view hovering over her face. She had wanted to shriek at their close proximity but he immediately put his fingers to his lips as a sign for her to keep quiet with his other hand covering her mouth.
Her heart was beating faster than ever, her Jade green eyes darted around. " What are you doing?", she finally whispered across to him, she thought she could trust him but she really felt like fighting her way out of this.
" Saving us both Aurelia now stay calm and just act as if all this is normal", he replied back softly as well as his hand moved from covering her lips and it started playing with her hair instead.
He successfully pushed her hair away from her ear and he simply bent his head to kiss her fair neck intimately, it was mainly out of instinct but this was all an act.
Marcy who had been quite entrapped by his charming blue eyes felt her body shiver by what he did to her. He repeated the same thing, kissing her on her neck and then all the way to her exposed shoulder and then back to her ear lobe.
At this moment, Marcy was already gasping for breath, she could not understand why she no longer had the urge to push him away instead all she wanted to do was pull him closer which was wrong in every aspect of her sane mind.
What they were both doing was wrong but why were they doing it? Ashton did not do more than kiss every inch of her exposed skin. Her nightwear made it quite easy and his eyes were begining to waver, he was starting to have lustful thoughts on her.
He raised his head up so he could observe her facial expressions and the moment their contrasting eyes met, he just wanted to kiss her lips right there with no hesitation but suddenly the door opened and someone barged in meeting them in that situation.
Stepping into the room was the queen mother accompanied by her flock of maids. She appeared to be holding a tray when she accidentally walked in, quickly sighting the compromising situation of Ashton and Aurelia.
Her smile grew wide and she quickly turned around while the maids refused to look up, they could only drop the things on their hands which suddenly brought back Marcy's attention.
She turned to the side and her eyes widened on seeing that it was the queen mother but the woman quickly dispersed with her maids and slammed the double doors shut while Marcy pushed Ashton away with all her strength and finally sat up on the large king sized bed.
" They saw us", she said after recovering herself, knowing fully well how rumors spread and that the news was sure to get out of hand. She stared at the crown prince who suddenly laid back on the bed in a relaxing manner as he shrugged his shoulders.
" That was the point anyway. I knew my mother would pretend to accidentally walk into this room in the morning just to confirm if we had spent the night together so I did what any wise son would do. I made her see what I wanted her to see which was us getting intimate but not really", Ashton said calmly as ever, his voice as low and beautiful as any thing that could just bring peace.
Marcy stared at his handsome face and he stared back at her all the same. The one thought that ran through her mind was that it was all just an act and yet she felt so many emotions, she had even wanted to bring him closer to herself.
She blushed at the thought but immediately Gavin's face returned on her memory and she gasped quickly. What if the news spreads to him and it makes him upset with her causing him to have stupid thoughts.
She had promised him that the wedding night would not happen and clearly it did not but she was afraid that the rumors created by the maids would turn the story upside down in a way that no matter what she said he still would not believe her.
She quickly got up from the bed and darted to her wardrobe with Ashton watching her every movement. For some reason she had really turned interesting to his eyes, all he had to do was stare at her face and it would be as if all her thoughts were revealed to him. She really looked so different from the woman he met two times in a row.
He saw her walk towards the tray one of the maids had placed down and there she found it, a purple long gown that would surely look good if she wore it and then there was a green one and yellow one as well.
He immediately thought the green one was more eye-catching, it matched the color of her eyes after all. He got up and headed towards her in quick footsteps and she suddenly turned to face him.
The serious gaze on his face made Marcy shudder unwillingly, she couldn't help that feeling but with the way he was looking at her it made her want him nearer again.
" I think the green dress would look absolutely lovely on you Aurelia, should I send for the maids?", he asked after making a suggestion and she stared at the green dress which was a turtle neck gown and it had a ribbon at the chest area, it looked really perfect in the eyes.
" There will be no need for that, I can surely handle one day of taking care of myself", she said as she simply made her way towards the bathroom in order to get prepared.
He stared at her departing figure and a small smile graced his charming lips. " What an interesting creature, she captivates me in all aspects", he said more to himself as he walked out of her Chambers deciding to take a stroll while she had her bath.
The moment he stepped out of the room another male figure stepped in. His black hair was combed neatly to the back and his black eyes were abnormally enraged. He shut the door afterwards quickly locking it as he searched for the one who would surely give him the answers he was searching for.
Sure enough it was Gavin Woods who had stepped in, dressed in a servants boy attire searching for Marceline and the moment he heard water splash, without hesitation he simply moved to the bathroom.
From the corner, his eyes stared at the slightly ruffled bed, she would never do that to him, would she? They had something together and she would never betray his trust right, but only she could answer all these questions and so therefore, he had to see her even though it might cost him his life.
